Beloved Daughter, Sister, Granddaughter, Niece & Friend

Emonne LaShay Burgess, age 14, of Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on Friday, July 18, 2025. Born in Bel Air, Maryland, Emonne was the cherished daughter of Brittany Tierara (Ballard) Burgess and Daniel Burgess, Sr.

Emonne was a vibrant and creative young soul who had just completed the 8th grade at Magnolia Middle School. A gifted artist, she found joy in painting, drawing, and building with Legos. She was a devoted fan of the Broadway show Hamilton and was looking forward to seeing it live this summer. From a young age, Emonne had a passion for cheerleading, cheering with the Stembridge Colts since the age of 5, and had recently discovered a new love for volleyball.

She had a heart of gold and an undeniable love for her family, friends, her two precious nephews, and her beloved cat, Milo. Her bright spirit, kindness, and unwavering faith left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Emonne had a personal relationship with God and often found comfort and strength in reading her Bible.

She is survived by her loving parents, Brittany Burgess and Daniel Burgess, Sr.; her brothers, Daniel "Trey" Burgess, Jr., Jalin Johnson, Isaiah Burgess, and Justin Cuttaia; her maternal grandparents, Tammy Johnson and Tyrone Johnson; her nephews, Princeton Cuttaia and Zamir Cuttaia; and her uncle and godfather, Douglas Burgess, III.

Emonne's memory will be forever cherished by those who knew and loved her.

Interment will be private.
