JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 A Jacksonville family is turning heartbreak into hope as they honor the life of Kenance \u201cTiger\u201d Bronson, a father, mentor, and beloved community member.<\/p>\n

Bronson, 38, was shot and killed in November<\/a> in the city\u2019s Brentwood neighborhood. No arrests have been made in connection with his death.<\/p>\n

To celebrate his life and keep his legacy alive, the family founded Tiger\u2019s Cubs Incorporation, a nonprofit dedicated to giving back to local children.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, they hosted an Easter basket giveaway, providing toys, treats, and smiles to kids in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cTiger had a big heart for the kids,\u201d said Tomasha Sears-Ford, Bronson\u2019s Auntie. \u201cHe always gave back \u2014 from back-to-school events to helping young people in sports and mentoring. We just want to keep that going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Family members say the event reflects the generosity and kindness Bronson showed throughout his life, from helping the homeless to supporting neighborhood youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe turn our pain into purpose\u2026 and this is the purpose,\u201d Sears-Ford said. \u201cI know he\u2019s smiling down on us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family plans to continue hosting community events, including back-to-school drives and youth programs, to honor Bronson\u2019s memory and positively impact the neighborhood he loved.<\/p>\n
