While time has carried on since his sister DeOndra Dixon‘s untimely death, Jamie Foxx‘s memories of his beloved sister remain ever-present.
The Oscar winner’s sibling died in October 2020 at 36 years old. In honor of World Down Syndrome Day on Sunday, March 21, Foxx shared a touching tribute to his late sibling on Instagram.
“My heart my breath … my soul,” he wrote. “I hear your laughter in the house… I hear you sliding down the stairs… my heart… my breath… my soul… I love u Deondra my angel #worlddownsyndromeday2021.”
On Oct. 26 2020, he took to his Instagram to share the sad news of his family’s loss. “My heart is shattered into a million pieces… my beautiful loving sister Deondra has transitioned… I say transitioned because she will always be alive,” the actor wrote online. “Anyone who knew my sis… knew that she was a bright light… I can’t tell you how many times we have had parties at the house where she has got on the dance floor and stolen the show… even gave her boyfriend @chrisbrownofficial a run for his money… well I know she is in heaven now dancing with her wings on.”
