<div class="mobile-gallery-icon">Calvin&#8217;s sister, Brittany Wright, wrote in the description of the GoFundMe page: &#8216;My family is grieving over the loss of a wonderful and amazing son, brother, nephew, and friend.<br />
&#8216;As his older sister, I had the pleasure of watching Calvin grow from a child to a respectable young man. He was a fellow student at Stoneman Douglas with strong aspirations of one day becoming an engineer, which inspired him to always find new projects around the house to challenge his skills.<br />
&#8216;Calvin was so loving and well loved by all his peers and family. He enjoyed riding his bike with his friends, shopping, cooking and trying new recipes with his mom, performing yard work and various chores with his dad and spending quality time with our baby sister and I.<br />
&#8216;I can tell you firsthand that he was one of a kind, very soft spoken, and never once hurt a fly. If you ever asked him to do the simplest task, he was right on it. His selflessness and quick action to help others is something that we all deeply admired.<br />
&#8216;Calvin Desir was truly special to us all and will forever live on in our hearts.&#8217;</p>
