Rennie Howard Milligan, Jr., was a 20-year-old beloved son, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend to many in Baltimore, MD. He was widely known for his heart of gold, genuine love of people, and desire to see all those he encountered “win” in life and beyond. He would literally give the shirt off his back and extended his support to all those he met. He volunteered to feed the homeless in his community and was a dedicated mentee and member of the organization, Son of a Dream, LLC. He participated in the 300 Men March in Baltimore to fight against the epidemic of violence in Baltimore, MD. Rennie’s love for children afforded him the opportunity to work one on one with children with diverse learning needs which he was passionate about. Unfortunately, on January 13, 2019, Rennie’s life was senselessly taken on the streets of Baltimore City following a verbal altercation. The Forever Rennie Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to honor Rennie’s legacy. The scholarship will provide aid to a qualified male high school senior graduating from Rennie’s alma mater, Coppin Academy, to attend a 4-year institutional college or vocational training school while pursuing a degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
