Shaurome was a member of New Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and a graduate from Arthur Hill High School, Class of ’22. He was employed at FedEx. Romo enjoyed playing basketball and playing his PS5. He loved cars, clothes, shoes, and making sure he was nicely dressed. Most of all, Romo enjoyed hanging out with his friends and spending time with his family. He had a beautiful smile and he loved to laugh and joke around. The way he walked into a room would always make you laugh. He was just our everything in one person. Romo’s presence will forever be missed, but will always live within our hearts.
