JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Orie Lynn Hickson, the mother of late Jacksonville recording artist Janarious Wheeler, has established a new organization called More to Life<\/a> in memory of her son. Wheeler, who performed under the rap name \u201cLil Poppa,\u201d died earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The foundation was created to turn Hickson\u2019s grief into a positive community effort based on a vision Wheeler shared before his death. More to Life will focus its initiatives on mental health, opportunity and expression.<\/p>\n

The organization aims to positively impact the city and community that helped shape the local musician. Hickson created the foundation to address key wellness and personal development needs while keeping her son\u2019s legacy alive.<\/p>\n

A community mixer is scheduled for next month in Jacksonville to formally introduce the More to Life foundation to other local non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n
