He later moved to Baltimore and pursued a job at Mr. Tire in Baltimore, MD, as a service technician, where he was known for his strong work ethic, generosity, sense of humor, and dedication.

Lemuel spent much of his time pursuing a passion for collecting antiques, shopping, spending time at the racetrack, watching martial arts movies, listening to music, and spending quality time with family.

Those who knew Lemuel will remember his unwavering kindness, warm laughter, caring heart, sense of humor, and the effortless way he brought joy to any room or occasion.
