Stephon Robert Easterling

May 11, 2000 - April 10, 2020

Stephon Robert Easterling age 19 received his heavenly wings in his mother’s arms on Good Friday April 10, 2020 at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans, LA after a long heroic battle of Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. Stephon was a native of New Orleans, LA born on May 11, 2000 to parents Danielle McCall and Stephon Easterling Jr. He attended Abramson Sci Academy Senior High School, was the morning school announcer, Senior Duke in the homecoming court and proudly graduated in May 2019. Stephon affectionately known as, “Baby Rob” or “Robbie” was a very humble, gracious, incredible, smart, and compassionate young man. He treated everyone with the highest level of respect. He fought his disease for 10 years with great fortitude and courage. He never complained or had a negative attitude in spite of his illness. Rob was a skillful gamer and loved competing with others playing video games. His hobbies were fishing, creating puzzles, and listening to music (his favorite singer was Selena Gomez). Rob’s favorite time of year was football season and watching the New Orleans Saints. He was a DIE HARD SAINTS FANS, and had the opportunity to attend a home game with family. Although he was a huge Saints fan his favorite basketball player was LeBron James and his desire was to one day meet him. Rob was an inspiring person; anyone would be honored to call him son, grandson, nephew, cousin, or friend. Those who knew him even just a little lost a shining light in their lives. He was preceded in death by his great grandfathers Randolph Auzenne, Ishom McCall, Henry Smith, and Julius Hunter Jr., great grandmother Dotsie Jean Easterling, and uncles Shavis McCall, Richard LaFargue Sr., and cousin Ro’sean Easterling. He leaves to cherish his memories and will be missed everyday by his mother Danielle McCall, father Stephon Easterling, Jr. (wife Jennifer), brothers Steven Easterling, Mason Easterling, sister Salina Easterling, grandparents Troy Auzenne, Sherman McCall (wife Donalyn), Sheila Lenaris, Stephon Easterling, Sr. (wife Genevieve), great grandparents Joyce Hunter, Billy Sue McCall, Regina Smith, Otis Easterling, Elaine Auzenne, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends. As a result of present circumstances a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date with extended family and friends. The caring staff at L.A. Muhleisen & Son Funeral Home in Kenner, LA has been entrusted with arrangements.

But you did not go alone A part of me went with you The day God called you home. A million times I’ve thought of you A million times I’ve cried.
