On Saturday, April 12th, 2025, the sun broke through the clouds over El Toyon Park in National City, casting a warm glow on what would become an unforgettable day of unity, remembrance, and hope. The TS Jordan Foundation hosted its 1st Annual Free Easter Egg Hunt, a heartfelt event designed not only to bring joy to local youth and community but also to honor the beautiful life of Tre’Von Stewart-Jordan, who was tragically taken by senseless violence in 2022.
This wasn’t just an Easter egg hunt, it was a love letter to a son, a brother, a friend, and a community leader in the making, whose legacy now fuels a movement to uplift youth through the power of sports and service.
At the heart of the day’s celebration was something far greater than eggs and candy—it was a mission built on love, legacy, and lifting others. That mission lives on through The TS Jordan Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded in Tre’Von’s memory.
The TS Jordan Foundation’s mission is to inspire, support, and encourage youth success. The foundation provides financial assistance to underprivileged youth, helping them fulfill their passion for playing youth sports. Tre’Von Stewart-Jordan firmly believed that teaching life skills through the game of football leads to responsible, disciplined young adults who learn honest values and leadership skills.
This mission isn’t just a statement, it’s a promise his family keeps with every event, every smile, and every young athlete they help along the way.
The Easter event was full of laughter, music, delicious food, and games—but it was also marked by deep emotion. Taking in the scene, the family of TS Jordan stood out in vibrant shirts printed with an image of Tre’Von in his beloved bunny suit. The sight was a powerful, beautiful tribute from those who knew and loved him most. It was joy and grief, all wrapped in the fabric of remembrance.
Tre’Von’s mother, Myeshia Stewart, was asked why she chose to host this event. Her response was simple and full of love.
“Due to the sentimental attachment to the larger Easter event once held annually for family and friends being too much emotionally to handle without his presence, the family decided to host an event that made the day about community and provide fun for the less fortunate,” she said, her voice steady but heavy with meaning.
The event was more than a tribute; it was healing. Watching the children and adults laugh as they hunted for colorful eggs and community members of all ages coming together—some smiling, others holding back tears—it became clear that Tre’Von’s spirit is still very much alive.
And this is just the beginning. The TS Jordan Foundation has a calendar full of purpose-driven events:
May 3rd: Annual Raffle Basket Fundraiser
June 28th: Fundraiser BBQ Pop-Up
August 9th: The most anticipated event of the year, TRE-DAY—a celebration of Tre’Von’s life and legacy
In a world too often marred by tragedy, the Stewart-Jordan family reminds us of what it means to love deeply, serve selflessly, and never give up on the next generation. Gone but not forgotten TS JORDAN lives on through his family, his community, and now, through every child who dares to dream.
