At Toastmasters Santa Monica Club 21 we enjoyed having Ajene as a member! He had a handsome smile, a gift for speaking, and had a lovely bright personality. We remember him fondly at the last holiday-themed meeting of the year when a member read a Children’s Christmas story to the club. You could tell he had young children as he smiled and laughed like the other young fathers in the room. Members of our club were sad to hear of his passing and hope for better days for his beautiful family.
