Your pants were creased and your shirts were pressed
Your hair was brushed and your gym shoes fresh.
A fashionista, so proud of your waves
Our King, our King of colour, you’re in our hearts forever.

Your brother and sisters, your beautiful kids
Kimayah, Kimaree, and baby King
Your ‘main man Tony’ who you loved to the end
Their King, their King of love, you’re in their hearts forever

We still hear you say,
‘Mama, I love you all the time’
We laugh through the tears at ‘my Reecey Cup’
You’re our cereal man — Apple Jack, Captain Crunch, cornbread and milk,
We’ll keep your memory strong.

You left the store to come back home
But you never made it through Mama’s door
The pain is still too much to bear
Our King, our King has gone now, but you’re in our hearts forever.

Facing a future without you here
Gentle steps on a lonely path
But the butterflies they circle round
Our King, our King of hope, you’re in our hearts forever.

King, you were an amazing soul. I love you and miss you so much. You will forever live through me, and I will never ever forget you. I will always call out your name and fight for your memory as we can’t have your life meaning nothing. May you rest in heavenly peace, and King, I have your mom’s back. With love, Cherise, Chanell, Denise, Keawon, La’Shawn, Brittany, Grandmother Denise and your beautiful children.
