Ja’Marque “Jay-5” Rahntez Torain

A Celebration of Life with limited seating for Ja’ Marque “Jay-5” Rahntez Torain, 43 of Decatur, Alabama.will be 11:00 am Thursday, December 1, 2022 at Reynolds Funeral Home with the Reverend Stanley Torain officiating. Inhumation will follow in Sterrs Cemetery. Public viewing will be Wednesday from 1:00 pm till 6:00 pm at the funeral home.  Ja’Marque was born on August 21, 1979 in Decatur, Alabama.  He departed this life peacefully at Decatur General Hospital on November 24, 2022. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at the age of 9  years old and became a member of Canaan Missionary  Baptist Church in Hillsboro, Alabama.  He served as a crusader, on the junior usher board, and sang in  the youth choir. Affectionally known as “Jay-5,” he was an outstanding  and talented basketball player at Decatur High School, graduating class of 1997.  To Ja’Marque, basketball was  not only a sport, but also a lifestyle and he was sure  to instill that logic into his nephews as often as he could.   To most, the number of points scored in a game is what  counts; however, to Ja’Marque the assists always brought  the victory.  When asked why this was most important  to him and not the points, he would explain how anyone  can put the ball in the basket, but it takes true skill to  handle the ball and get it in the right hands.  Ja’Marque is now eternally reunited with his father,  Ezzard Charles Torain. He leaves to cherish his love and memory with his mother: Francelia Torain, Decatur, Alabama; his sisters: Chasity Richardson (David) Huntsville, Alabama; Heather Ingram (Anthony) Muscle Shoals, Alabama; Candas Rogers (Karlos) Madison, Alabama; and Mistye Weakley (Chris) Tuscumbia, Alabama; his nephews: Xavier, Jaxon, Jacob, and Axel; his nieces: Paige, Karleigh, Avri, Charlestyn, Kaycee, and Raelynn; his great niece: Salem; a special uncle: Nathaniel Torain; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.  Decatur, Alabama

So heartbreaking to hear of Jay’s passing. It’s been years since I last saw him, but he was always so humble…such a gentle soul. Without a doubt, he is at peace now resting in the Lord’s arms. My sincere condolences to the family. Rest in Paradise Jay. 🖤🕊
