    Keyoan, it’s heartbreaking to know that this is the new normal. You ALWAYS had the biggest smile on your face and made sure you looked out for your siblings at all times. You were so goofy and funny growing up. Your big cousin loves you so much, rest in heaven. ♥️

    Keyoan,
    Rest easy dear sweet boy, you are at peace with our Lord and all your family members. Your journey in life was not an easy one, but you have the best final reward. Your Mom and family have so many wonderful stories to share of your life, so many great memories. You will be missed, but you have touched many lives and will not be forgotten. Be at peace, Praying for you and your family. Love you all.

    My precious first born grandchild. You stole my heart and soul. You gave me my flowers when you here. The love you had for is irreplaceable. I went to bat for you and you did the same. I heard everything you said felt your heartache. You received God and your salvation gives me peace. You at peace in your own mansion in the sky. Save a room for me 🙏 . You will always be in my thoughts prayers and heart. I love you too baby boy. You always told me had much you love me. See you when I get there. I will be looking for you first. Love Grandma

    Keyoan we had a beautiful service for you, fit for a King. You are so missed here but I know your beautiful mom and the rest of our family have a fierce ancestor watching over us. We love you so much and our hearts are aching but we know you are truly in a better place.
