His passing has left a deep void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who knew him, as they struggle to comprehend the sudden and violent nature of this tragedy.
According to the Summit County Medical Examiner and the Akron Police Department, officers and emergency medical services responded around 10:30 a.m. to a residence in the 500 block of Nash Street following reports of a shooting. When first responders arrived, they found Daivan lying on the living room floor with a gunshot wound. Despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, seeking answers and justice for a life lost.
Daivan Floyd was more than a statistic or a name in a police report. He was a son, a brother, a friend, and a cherished member of his community. Those who knew him remember him for his personality, his presence, and the moments he shared with the people around him. He carried his own dreams, aspirations, and plans for the future—hopes that were tragically cut short.
At just 28 years old, Daivan had so much life ahead of him. He represented the energy and potential of youth, with stories yet to be written and milestones yet to be reached. His passing serves as a painful reminder of how fragile life can be and how violence leaves lasting scars on families and communities.
As Akron grieves, the loss of Daivan has sparked reflection, sorrow, and a renewed call for peace and compassion. His family now faces an unimaginable journey of grief, and the community stands with them in solidarity, offering prayers, condolences, and support during this difficult time.
May Daivan Floyd be remembered for the person he was beyond this tragic moment—for the love he shared, the laughter he brought, and the connections he made. Though his life was taken too soon, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him and in the community that mourns him.
Rest in peace, Daivan.
You will always be remembered, deeply missed, and forever loved.
