Khameyea Jennings’ fight with liver cancer was over.
Jennings, 18, died three weeks after Marks escorted her to the Frank H. Peters Academies of Technology prom at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. Marks drove Jennings to the event in his Lamborghini.
“I was at the hospital coming to see her when she died,” Marks said. “It was very sad, but her and her family had a strong relationship with God. They were thankful for the time they had with Khameyea.
