Javelin DeShawn Hartfield

Javelin DeShawn Hartfield was born on July 12, 1994 to Shawnna Hartfield and John Burris, Sr.  Javelin was a long time Shawnee Resident.  He passed from this life on February 18, 2021 in Shawnee, OK.

Javelin loved his family, especially his three beautiful daughters.  His mother and his six sisters were his best friends.  Some may say there was no closer bond.  Javelin loved anything outdoors.  He loved to meet up with friends and family to float the river and camp.  He was always about a good time.  Javelin was someone who would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need; he had one of the biggest hearts. He loved to make music and being in the studio was like a second home.  He was in the works of making music a permanent part of his life.

Javelin would want to be remembered as a Man of God.  He was baptized at Galilee Baptist Temple of Praise and a long time member under the late Larry C. Crawford of Seminole, OK.  He would go out of his way to make a way.  He always had the biggest smile on his face and in his heart!  In the word of Javelin “Already!”.
