Von’s Story

Devonte L. Eason, affectionately known as Von to his family and friends, was a beacon of intelligence, love, and generosity. Born on March 24, 2000, in Cleveland, Ohio, Von grew up to be a man of strong faith and vibrant spirit. His journey on Earth came to a peaceful close on June 30, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio, surrounded by the love of his family.

Von was a cherished son of Vernice Eason and Charlie D. Rogers. He was a brother who shared an unbreakable bond with his siblings Allen Eason III, Chanel Rogers, Sade Rogers, Ciara Roger, Denzel Rogers, and Trayvon Thompson.

It was a way for him to channel his energy, discipline, and teamwork—traits that he carried into every aspect of his life. On the field and the court, he was known for his competitive spirit and his ability to elevate the game of those around him.
