Semaj "Maji" Reddick-Streater

Semaj “Maji” Reddick- Streater was born in New Haven, Connecticut on August 29, 2002 to Cornelius Streater and Malika Reddick and earned his wings on May 30, 2021. Semaj attended ACES Whitney North and Hamden Public Schools. His mother, Malika, will be accepting his high school diploma on his behalf this week. Semaj left a huge impres- sion on everyone he came into contact with. He was a soft-spoken, kind and respectful young man with a huge sense of humor. He could always make you smile, no matter how down you felt. Semaj never hesitated to lend a hand. He was known to help family, friends and neighbors with whatever task they were struggling with. Semaj was adventurous and always willing to try something new or see a new place. He loved taking trips and doing things with his family and friends. For many years, he volunteered his time and supported many Hamden community events. He will be truly missed. Semaj is survived by his daughter Islah Torres, his mother Malika Reddick and father Cornelius Streater, his maternal grandmother Helen Reddick and paternal grandmother Nanny Mae Streater, his maternal grand- father Eric Jordan, his Aunt Jacara Jordan and uncles Mi- chael Smith, Saquan Jordan, Kajuan Reddick and Sterling Streater (Iris Streater). Semaj was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, Henry Streater and his uncle, Eric Smith and his aunt Erica Jordan. He is also survived by a host of other family and friends.

A celebration of Semaj’s life will be held on Thurs-day, June 10, 2021 at Colonial Funerals 86 Circular Avenue Hamden. Viewing will be at 10am, followed by a service at 11am. Condolences may be expressed at Colonialfunerals.com.
