Class of 2011
Date of Passing May 20, 2019

Enosa Strickland, Jr., 26, of Auburn, Washington joined his heavenly family on May 20, 2019. Born on January 20, 1993 in Riverside, California, he moved to the Auburn area in 1999. Once rooted in Washington, his early years were spent with cousins and friends. Through high school he enjoyed football, but he found music to be his true passion. Shortly after graduating from Auburn Senior High School in 2011, EJ attended EWU but returned to find work just short of his two-year degree. Coming home, EJ found work in a few fields but continued pursuing his music in his spare time. He expressed his love and life but mostly he shared his soul. He will be remembered by the people who knew him as a good man with a genuine caring for those around him. He is survived by his loving parents, Enosa and Kathleen Strickland; sister, Kanela Uncangco (spouse, Steven); sister, Paese Bautista (spouse, Jeremy); brother, Keawe Strickland (spouse, Andrea); niece, Cali Uncangco; nephew, Cooper Uncangco; and his large extended family.
