Many know that the celebrity is a man with strong family values who pays special attention to his own; father, mother, and sister. Sadly, he has been hit with a few tragic moments, including losing his sister, Deondra, abruptly a few months ago.

Many fans shared their condolences by liking the post and adding soothing comments in the comment section.

WHO WAS DEONDRA DIXON?

Deondra remains one of the girls closest to Foxx's hearts. She was born in 1984 and diagnosed with down syndrome, but did not allow her medical condition to limit her progress.

She was a brilliant student who became the ambassador for the Global Down Syndrome Foundation at age 27 in 2011.

The deceased shared a unique closeness with her famous brother, who confessed that her love was unfiltered and pure.

He added that she was a cheerful fellow who brightened a room and shared cordial relationships with a few of his celebrity friends like singer Chris Brown.

Sadly, in 2020, she passed away, and Foxx poured out his grieving heart via his social media platforms. Happy heavenly birthday to her.
