In Loving Memory of Aramis Furse Beloved son, brother, father, friend
A Brooklyn family is mourning an immeasurable loss and calling for truth, transparency, and accountability after their loved one, 32-year-old Aramis Furse, died while in custody at Rikers Island early Sunday morning. Today, they remember not only the painful circumstances of his passing but the fullness of the life he lived—his laughter, his spirit, and the mark he left on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Aramis was more than a name on a report or a case in a system. He was a young man with dreams he was still chasing, a heart that never stopped loving, and a family who believed in him even through life’s most difficult storms. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Aramis carried with him a sense of loyalty and protectiveness that people instinctively gravitated toward. He was the kind of person who could turn a room around with a single joke, who remembered birthdays even when others forgot, who offered his last dollar to someone in need without hesitation.
His family recalls a young man who loved music, who cherished Sunday dinners, and who worked hard to create a better life for himself and his loved ones. He was someone who dreamed of stability, of second chances, of building a future that reflected the goodness he held in his heart. Though his path was not always easy, Aramis continually sought growth, understanding, and the opportunity to start again.
That opportunity was cut short, and those who loved him are left with both sorrow and questions—questions about how, under the care of a system meant to protect the people in its custody, a vibrant 32-year-old man could lose his life. The family describes the pain of not only losing Aramis, but of being left without clarity in their grief. They are now calling for transparency, accountability, and a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
They speak not from anger alone, but from love—love for Aramis, and love for others who remain vulnerable within a system that too often fails those entrusted to it. Their hope is that by seeking answers, they can honor Aramis’s memory in a way that may help protect lives going forward.
To his family, Aramis was a life worth fighting for. He was a reminder that every person, regardless of their circumstances, deserves dignity, safety, and humane treatment. His death is not just a statistic—it is a human tragedy that has rippled through Brooklyn and beyond, touching the hearts of all who hear his story.
As loved ones gather to remember Aramis, they speak of his smile, his warmth, and the way he showed up for people even when he was struggling himself. They remember a son who held his mother’s hand a little longer than most, a brother who gave the best hugs, a friend who always said, “I’ll be there,” and meant it. These are the memories they hold onto as they navigate grief—a grief made heavier by the silence and uncertainty surrounding his final hours.
In the coming days, the family will continue to push for truth. They will continue to celebrate Aramis’s life, to honor the man he was, and to ensure that his story is not forgotten or overshadowed by the system in which he died. They ask for community support, solidarity, and prayers as they walk through this unimaginable pain.
May the memory of Aramis Furse be a blessing, a light, and a call for justice.
May his story inspire change.
And may his family find answers, healing, and the peace they deserve.
Rest in power, Aramis. You are loved. You are missed. You will not be forgotten.
