Now Davion is twenty, and he has done something specific with the year since: he built a scholarship in Woullard's name, aimed at young people from the neighborhood who are trying to get somewhere. The scholarship is small for now — the kind of thing that starts with a GoFundMe and a borrowed table at a community event — but it is pointed and deliberate in a way that matters more than its current dollar amount. Davion told MissionLocal he wanted people to say Jaylen's name in a context that wasn't grief.

That framing is worth pausing on. The scholarship isn't a memorial in the static sense — a plaque bolted to a wall, a moment of silence at a rec center. It's a mechanism that requires someone to apply, a committee to decide, a check to get written. It has to keep happening. Davion built something with maintenance requirements, which is another way of saying he built something alive.
