How do I even begin to write something like this?  I’m in shock and you and Kenya have been on my mind since I found out about your transition 2 days ago.  Jabali and Kenya, I’m sorry I lost contact with you’ll.  I took for granted, like so many of us, the value of staying in contact with people who has a special place in your heart.  Jabali, you always made me laugh and smile.  You were truly a gentleman, with a big and loving personality. This first time I met you through Kenya, we instantly connected.  Your smile would light up an entire room.  Your tall and handsome presence was eye catching.  Your ability to humble yourself was admiring. Your mental intellect was engaging. If only I could turn back they hands of time and just have one moment to tell you  in person how much you made an impression on my life,  it would be a moment I would never take for granted again my friend.  I am truly going to miss you.  Kenya,  I know this is hard for you and your entire family.  I know how much you love your brother.  I remember me and you having conversations always bragging about our big brothers.  It was almost like a competition lol, who brother was the best.  I love you and Jabali.  If you want to talk, I sent my number to your FB messenger. Rest well Jabali and know that you are loved, respected and appreciated.  Whoever is responsible for this will have their day before God, and justice will be served.  Sending my prayers to the family.

There can never be enough words spoken to sum up the impact that Jabali had on so many people. He was a good friend and will truly be missed.
Your family is in our prayers during this time.

No more random "I love you" or "GM beautiful" texts. No more checking up on me to make sure I am doing well, and do not need anything. All of this is missed already! I am glad to have spent my entire life knowing my brother, but as many might agree, I could sure use a lot more lifetimes with Jabali. I can't wait for the time of Rev 21:4. To my grieving family, I wish you mercy, peace, and love (Jude 2).

As our loving relationship came to a tragic and devastating end, it ends with no regrets as we expressed our love for each other every day more than once a day.  I love you baby with all my heart and soul and I know that we'll be together again. 

                                                                          Love, Keresa
                                                                         Your Special K

Jabali,
I love you and I miss you so much. 

The last time I heard your voice, it was 2 days before the tragic news.  I was saying goodbye to Reeces on the phone and your silly self yelled, "I love you too!!" in the background before I hung up. I will never forget all the good times and memories we all shared together. This photo from my 36th birthday about 4 years ago was truly memorable.  You were so lit, I don't think you realized you fell asleep on my shoulder for a hot second...lol. Rest in Peace J.D. you are truly loved by many!

I would be sitting on my bus waiting to pick up my first student and I would look up to see that little trash truck flying out the apartment buildings I knew right away that was Jabali. Even though I didn’t get the chance to really know you the brief time that I did was heart warming, as he would pull up he would have his music playing and bobbing to the beat with a big warm smile and cheerful good morning that will definitely be missed. I can tell that you were full of life and a fun person to be around, I am happy that God blessed me to meet you! My deepest condolences and prayers for strength healing and understanding goes out to Ware and family I know he will be truly missed. #stayfly

From the ground up....All around life of the party YOU will surely be missed but never forgotten thats for sure .

LIL Brotherrrr, Clearly- I’m looking forward to seeing you again. ACTS 24:15 refers to a Resurrection . I believe in that . I’m proud to call you my brother. The Love, Laughter, Smiles and your heart is still attached to my soul. I can say you kept an open mind on life, and that kept you moving forward (Progressing ) in the way you were. I’m not done Mentoring you, giving the opportunity I would love to be there upon your resurrection. 

Jabali
I’ve been holding myself back from writing on here because then I would have to accept this nightmare as reality. This is truly a hard road to travel on and we have been struggling to get by from day to day. I’ve  sat,  prayed, and wished that you would call or pop up and bless us with that beautiful smile, happy spirit, and strong embrace. There is no words to express the pain of losing you but I know you would want me to be strong to help your big brother through this. You will always be remembered and carried in our hearts. Love you my (Lil Bro). See you in paradise. 

Hey Jabali,
I’m speechless unc, I miss you everyday. It seems like just yesterday you was at the house in a football jersey sharing drinks, and just having fun. Or the time we shared playing Madden all the time. I can’t help but feel mad, sad, and bad but all at the same time you know I love you. Rest easy dog, praying one day we can spend time together once again. 

Though recently we didn’t get to hang out our past meant a lot to me. The long conversations, your ride or die attitude, yet really a soft soul inside with a smile of gold. You stayed a friend through it all and a gentleman Who danced and loved life I’ll always love 💕 you my friend. Rest easy till we meet again

A true soldier, A true friend, A loyal person ,that's a combination that is hard to find in most people. You will be truly missed B. It was an honor to have shared life with you. I love and miss you B.


Words CAN NOT explain this loss.  Good guy all the way around true friendship loyalty and honesty. We all miss you so much. A soldier who had finished his time here on the planet Earth. But Heaven couldn't wait and you answered God's call when he hit your line. Rest well my friend

Sincere love to all the Fam.  I will definitely miss Jabali. He welcomed me in the family with open arms, and always said, "what's up loved one" every time I saw him. He was a very gentle, funny, and a kind- spirited cousin! Lord knows this has truly affected us all in a very implausible way. I can sometimes still hear his voice and see that sincere smile. He was definitely a great person!! 

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away." Jabali was a kind and gentle spirit always spreading love and words of encouragement. I'm going to miss his hugs that were wrapped in cologne. To his family weeping only endures for the night but joy comes in the morning. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Hold on to the countless memories and breath taking moments you all had with Jabali because that is what will sustain you. Stay blessed Loved Ones. 

A good dude. Didn't deserve it. Now we all have a hurt in our hearts. You will indeed be missed you always had the biggest smile on your face that could light up the whole room. And always smelled good. Gone but you won't be forgotten

Jabali always had a hug for everyone, you never turned them hugs down, even if you just wanted to get smell of his latest cologne. He was a good dude, I used to see him on his job driving the truck dropping off his load... He would wave and yell love one. Gonna miss you..
