WINDSOR, ONT. One of the youngest victims of COVID-19 in Windsor-Essex is being remembered as a loving brother and son. Over the last 24 hours, a GoFundMe page has raised more than $14,000 in the name of Weng James, identified as the man in his 20s who died of COVID-19 as announced by the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) on Wednesday. “As our family continues to mourn, we have felt the outpouring [of] support from our family members and close friends,” reads an excerpt from the page created by Nyapini James, one of Weng’s siblings. Former Catholic Central High School basketball coach, Peter Cusumano, coached the young Weng as part of the school’s OFSSA championship team in 2013.
