In Loving Memory of  Naod Mahray

November 20, 2025

With heavy hearts and the greatest of sadness, we share the passing of Mr. Naod Mahray, who tragically lost his life in a car accident on November 20, 2025. His sudden death has left his family, friends, and community in profound grief, struggling to come to terms with the loss of such a caring and extraordinary person.

Naod was more than the circumstances of his passing. To his family, he was a devoted son; to his siblings, a beloved brother; and to all who knew him, he was a source of kindness, love, and deep understanding. His gentle spirit touched countless lives, and his absence leaves a void that words cannot fill. Those who had the privilege of knowing Naod remember his warmth, his compassion, and his ability to bring comfort and joy to those around him. The tragedy of his death has been compounded by the financial challenges his family now faces in covering funeral expenses. As they work to give Naod the peaceful farewell he deserves, they are asking for support from the community. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference. For those unable to contribute financially, sharing the family’s appeal is equally valuable and deeply appreciated.

Naod’s legacy will live on in the love he shared and the memories he created. His life reminds us of the importance of compassion, of cherishing each moment, and of supporting one another in times of need. Though his time was cut short, his impact will endure in the hearts of all who knew him.

We extend our deepest condolences to Naod’s family and loved ones. May they find strength in the embrace of their community and solace in the cherished memories of his life. Thank you for keeping Naod and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Your love and support mean more than words can express.

RIP Mr. Naod Mahray (1998–2025)

In Loving Memory of Chief Myisha Washington

United States Navy — November 2025

With heavy hearts and the greatest of sadness, we share the passing of Chief Myisha Washington, a remarkable leader, mentor, and friend whose death has left a deep ache in the hearts of all who served beside her and knew her compassion. Chief Washington’s life was defined by service, humanity, and kindness, and her legacy will continue to inspire generations within the Navy and beyond.

Chief Washington was more than a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy; she was a guiding star. She consistently put others before herself, lifting those around her with courage and offering kindness no matter how challenging the day. Her dedication to her shipmates, peers, and junior sailors was unwavering, and her love for her community made her unforgettable. She showed not only what it means to wear the uniform but what it means to live a life of service, integrity, and compassion.

Her professional journey was marked by excellence. As a culinary specialist, she brought skill and care to her work, ensuring that even the smallest acts of service carried meaning. Beyond her Navy career, she pursued education with determination, studying Forensic Investigation at Excelsior University and Paralegal/Pre-Law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Her commitment to learning reflected her belief in growth, resilience, and the power of knowledge.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Myisha carried with her a warmth and authenticity that touched everyone she met. Friends recall her kindness, her sweet nature, and her ability to embrace others with genuine care. Even in retirement, as she prepared to return to New York, she remained connected to those she loved, leaving lasting impressions that will never be forgotten.

Her passing is a tremendous loss to her family, including her brother Mustapha Elijah, and to the countless lives she influenced. The Navy community, her friends, and her loved ones mourn together, united in gratitude for her service and the example she set.

We extend our deepest condolences to Chief Washington’s family and loved ones. May they find strength in cherished memories and solace in knowing that her legacy of compassion and courage will endure.

RIP Chief Myisha Washington (1975–2025)
Thank you for your service. Job well done.
