Sabrina and Family, While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of your Keonte who has left you at such a youthful age is definitely in the category of those hard losses for which there is so painful a reminder of what might have been. My family offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time. I ask for God's blessings on you and your wonderful family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace. Friend I know what a profound loss this is for you, and I want you to know I’m here if you need me.

Nicole, Nathan and Family

I still can't believe you're gone. I can't believe that my bestfriend, my brother is gone. It's sad to say, but you are honestly in a better place. You will always have a place in my heart and many others. I love you more than words can explain. Tee and baby K gone be fine. You were like family so whatever your family needs, I will not hesitate to help. See you Saturday. Love you a lot Ke.

I love you Keonte. Words can't explain the pain I'm feeling right now. I just can't believe someone would do this! I hate the fact that I couldn't say goodbye and I hate the pain our family is going through. Home isn't going to be the same without you and josh always occupying the TV when I wanted to watch it or mama yelling because you and josh were acting stupid or when you won't go

Candle lit  by Christmas Morton on December 6th, 2016

Get me ice cream cause you and josh was leaving. I'm staying strong for josh because of the pain he is going through. I love you, we love you. I would do anything to bring you back cause I miss you and my other brother is gone. Who's going to eat up all the food now? Who's going to help me dye my weave when josh say no? All I have is memories and I wish I can share that with you.

Candle lit  by Christmas Morton on December 6th, 2016

Remember Josh said he had a crush on my RA and you said "Huh? You like her right ass cheek" Lmaooooo omg!!!!!  Rest peaceful, i know you are always with us. I wish I can have another laugh with you again. Can't wait to see you again.

I had the privilege of teaching Keote when he was in the 6th grade. Everyone loved him. I've watched him grow up since then through social media. How wonderful that his spirit will live on through his son. I'm sending all of my love to Keonte's family, especially TeAsia. I am so very sorry for such a great loss. RIP Keonte

Candle lit  by Brittany Taylor on December 6th, 2016

Fly High My Nontae. Still hard to believe your gone. I remember when Josh was in boot camp and you'd be on snapchat with your cracked phone screen and I'd make fun of you and say it looks like you were in a smokey room lol. You'll definitely be missed. Love Always, Bee Daissyy

I think about you everyday & all day. Just hoping God shows us his purpose for calling you home so soon. We planned so much but it was obviously out of our hands. There's no doubt that I loved you yesterday, I love you now & I'll love you forever. Our son won't go a day without hearing about you. We've created a life that will live on to be your legacy. I'm holding on for you.

I am still in shock that you are gone; there are no words to express how much you will be missed.   'The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.  Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.' (Isaiah 57:1-2)

Keonte, my second son. I'm going to miss you much. The trouble you and Josh got into, the hell ya'll gave Sabrina & myself, the many talks/fussing Bri and I had with both of you, how I wish your mom and I could do it all over again. It takes a village to raise a child and Bri and I did just that. Your mother & my friendship is real & will always be lasting and our friendship
