Jazihia W. Decker – Yiya – Zia - Jay

August 22, 2007 – November 04, 2026

Portland, OR and Moses Lake, WA

Jazihia was born on August 22, 2007, to Jonathan Decker and Jamie Young (McDowall). He was born in Portland, OR and stayed true to his roots going back and forth from Moses Lake to Portland. Never staying anywhere too long. But always going back to Portland, where his heart was.

Jazihia’s life was cut short on November 4th, 2026, in Gresham, OR. He lived a lot of life in a very short amount of time. In his 19 years on this earth, he left his mark behind on many people’s lives.

For those he loved he loved fiercely and was driven by being of service to others. Often mowing other lawns, chopping wood, digging ditches, cooking food for his loved ones, teaching his wrestling skills to others to improve their skills, taking his dogs for walks and loving on them. He liked to help others and give what he could when he could. He loved his family and all the animals of our families. Most of the time he liked your dog or cat more than he liked you. He enjoyed being a big brother and enjoyed antagonizing his little brother and two sisters. He loved wrestling and was natural at it. He loved how hard it was and loved when his hard work paid off. He inspired his siblings to wrestle and was the one to walk them into the wrestling room. Sharing his passion and love for sport with them was inspirational.

He enjoyed music, fishing, skateboarding, dirt bikes, quads, wrestling, swimming, cooking, boating, the beach, Disney, amusement parks, and giving people a run for their money. He was a wild one and part of it yes was schizophrenia but some of it was just him being a kid. He was full of life and fought a long hard battle with mental illnesses. He suffered internally and fought a battle most know nothing about. He fought fiercely and silently and tried so hard. The last 6 months of his life he accomplished so much gaining employment through Safeway, living in his own place, and got his Washington State driving license. He hit multiple goals and accomplishments most see as things you’re just supposed to do but for him he had to fight for those things and he did. He was proud of himself.
