These were the exact words of Jamie, 52 when he shared the news of his younger sister's passing on Instagram. DeOndra's death was also announced on the Global Down Syndrome website. The late star was a prominent figure and global ambassador for the organization.

Defying the odds against Down Syndrome, the 36-year-old lived a happy life, appeared in her brother's hit track video, "Blame It," and also made great exploits in the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.

DeOndra, who passed away on October 19, is the first person to bag the foundation's highest accolade. She is the recipient of the Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy Award.

In his post, Jamie poured out his heart in a lengthy tribute to his phenomenal sister. The "Django Unchained" star attached several photos of the beloved DeOndra and their cherished moments.

Once speaking about DeOndra in a 2018 interview, the "Just Mercy" actor spoke beautifully about his inspirational sister as he noted that she helped give his life a perspective.

After DeOndra finished high school, she moved in with her older brother. Defying the odds against Down Syndrome, the 36-year-old lived a happy life, appeared in her brother's hit track video, "Blame It," and also made great exploits in the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.

It is safe to say that the "Miami Vice" actor is a force to reckon with in Hollywood, but he has proven time and time again to be a family man at heart. Over the quarantine lockdown, the dad-of-two experienced proud dad moments as he gushed over his daughters, Annalise and Corrine's achievements.

While the 11-year-old Annalise faced her piano lessons, Corrine became a part of history after winning a Creative Arts Emmy for being part of the "Good Times" reboot.
