Tavon was a proud member of the Local 26 IBEW Electrical Union and was also an active member of ARC DC. Tavon was a great person to know. If you knew Tavon he would always tell you what was on his mind. He never sugar coated anything. If there was a problem he was always the first to volunteer to help. If he didn’t know how to solve a problem he wouldn’t stop searching for the answer until he found it. He loved his wife, family and friends. Tavon was a great family man, leader, and a great teammate. His jokes and laughs always brightened your day. Tavon will truly be missed.
