YOUNGSTOWN Mr. Van Sylvester Lightning, 30, gained his wings Friday, Jan. 1, 2021.
He was born March 6, 1990, to Sylvester Van Cox and Ella Lightning Ford, both of Youngstown.
Van passionately enjoyed being a great father, boxing, exercising, making music and helping the community. He was a ladies man, one who could immediately grab your attention with his smile and beautiful bright eyes.
His friends would refer to him as “the life of the party.”
He was a well-dressed man who not only enjoyed life, but also worked hard. He was currently employed with Home Depot, where he was continuously promoted. He was a true friend and a protector, someone you could reach out to for anything.
