With profound sorrow, we honor the lives of Con Mane-May Watts, 22, and Joshua Foundren Jr., 25, whose lives were tragically taken in a violent act that shook the heart of the Muskegon community. Their passing has left a deep and lasting ache in the hearts of their families, friends, and all who knew them.
On a Saturday afternoon, their lives were forever changed by a senseless act of violence inside a home on Jackson Avenue. What should have been a place of comfort and safety became the scene of unimaginable loss. Though the investigation continues, the truth that remains unshaken is this: Con Mane-May and Joshua were deeply loved and will never be forgotten.
Con Mane-May Watts is remembered as a bright and beautiful soul, full of warmth, strength, and compassion. She had a presence that could fill a room — a smile that brought comfort and a spirit that lifted others. Her kindness was not loud, but it was powerful. She had dreams still forming, hopes still rising, and a future full of promise that now lives on through the memories she left behind.
Joshua Foundren Jr. is remembered as a strong, caring, and loyal spirit. To those who knew him, Joshua was someone you could count on — a protector, a friend, a person who loved deeply and lived with heart. He carried himself with quiet confidence and an unwavering sense of loyalty to the people he loved. His laughter, his energy, and his presence will forever echo in the hearts of those he touched.
This tragedy has affected far more than one household. It has rippled through the Muskegon community — through neighbors, friends, families, first responders, and all who now grieve what was lost too soon. We also hold space in our hearts for the two young men who remain in critical condition, praying for their healing and strength, and for the young child who suffered injury but survived — a reminder of both the fragility of life and the resilience of hope.
We recognize and honor the tireless work of law enforcement and emergency personnel who responded swiftly and compassionately in the face of devastation. Their efforts to bring justice reflect a community’s unwavering commitment to truth, safety, and healing.
While the investigation continues, our focus remains on the lives that mattered — the love they gave, the light they shared, the moments they created with the people they loved.
May Con Mane-May Watts and Joshua Foundren Jr. be remembered not for how they died, but for how deeply they lived and loved.
May their memory be a blessing.
May their light never fade.
May their souls rest in eternal peace.
