Our Story

On June 1, 2020, Shanon was tragically taken from his family due to a senseless shooting in Chicago Il.


He was 24 years old. Shanon was a good person. He was an only child.


He was an amazing son and grandson, and a great dad to his son.


He was a friend, who was loved by all.


It takes a village to raise our children and we can do our part Block by Block.


Block24 was organized in honor of


Shanon Steward Jr.

I Hope...

  • I hope to decrease some of the challenges and frustrations of loved ones who unfortunately losses a child to violence.
  • I hope to engage young men and young women in activities and opportunities that will empower them to promote peace, unity, and nonviolence throughout our communities.
  • I hope to make a difference one block at a time.
  • I hope you will join me.
