Born In Daytona Beach, FL
Parents - Rochelle Johnson - Jamal "Rapha-El" Vance
Sencere was a happy baby who came home to 625 Easy Street in Daytona Beach, FL while his father served in the U.S. Army in Bad Krueznach, Germany.
Sencere also loved reading, writing, and researching the things that he wanted to gain a thorough understanding of. If you have had the opportunity to have conversations with Sencere, you’d agree that the discussion was based on a true level of knowledge and understanding, especially in areas such as Black History and American History.
During time with family, he liked activities such as go-karting, going to the range, and laughing and joking around. Sencere enjoyed alone time as well, during which he liked to watch movies and shows, listen to music, play video games, work out, spend time time with our family dogs, or just think. Additionally, he participated in sports such as Tae Kwon Do, soccer, and basketball.
Everyone used to say Sencere was “An old soul,” “A grown man in a child’s body,” or “He’s been on this earth before.” Sencere moved at his own pace, but he never liked to be late. From the time Sencere was in elementary school, he was a person of discipline and routine. He would wake up early, make a cup of tea, and watch the news before heading out the door every morning. Unlike a lot of youngsters, he maintained a pretty close routine on the weekends as well. In fact, by the time the family was waking at 9 or 10 am, Sencere had already had breakfast and lunch and progressing with his day.
