Brynne Dennis and Shawna Buice told Fox 5 they found the urn in the garage a few months back, first thinking it was the remains of a pet left behind by a former tenant.

When they found out the ashes were those of Marcellious DaVion Robinson, 21, they searched for and found the family, who told the TV station the urn had been in a storage unit. The ashes were returned to the family Sunday.
