D'Vonne Pickett Jr. Way

#ThePostman - “Our hero is forever etched in our hearts.”

Yesterday, a section of East Union Street was given the honorary designation of D’Vonne Pickett Jr. Way. In an emotional ceremony, family members and friends of Pickett as well as city officials spoke about the impact he had and what it means to celebrate his life and legacy in this way.

“I don’t know if it’s really understood how big it is to be a child of your city,” Keanna Pickett said. “To live your life through purpose to give back. We have three children and every morning I see D’Vonne in their face.”
