MEMORIAL-DAVIYAE K. SHOTWELL

HR 632 is a memorial resolution introduced by Illinois House Representative La Shawn K. Ford to honor Daviyae Keimar Shotwell, a Chicago student who died on January 9, 2026. The resolution extends condolences to his family and commemorates his life, highlighting his academic achievements (including graduating with honors from Noble Street College Prep), his resilience managing sickle cell disease, and his involvement in sports, chess, music, and community activities. It does not create new policy or affect any individuals through legislative action - it serves as a symbolic expression of grief and respect from the Illinois House of Representatives.
