Kedar Askia Wallis

Kedar was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, to the late Diane Trosclair-Wallis and Ronald Wallis. He lived a life marked by strength, resilience, faith, and a genuine love for people. His warm smile, generous spirit, and willingness to lend a helping hand left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Kedar proudly served his country as a United States Army Veteran. Following his military service, he earned certifications in Electrical Technology and Facility Maintenance, using his knowledge and skills to build a meaningful career.

One of Kedar's greatest passions was serving God and sharing his love with others. Through his ministry with Victory Outreach, he had the opportunity to travel to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and California, where he encouraged others with his testimony, his faith, and his servant's heart. His desire to uplift others reflected the compassion and kindness that defined his life. Kedar was a devoted son, brother, family member, and friend whose presence brought comfort, laughter, and love. He cherished the moments spent with those he loved and created memories that will forever remain in their hearts.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories his loving siblings; Romeo Wallis (Felisha), Terrence Wallis (Charlynn), Brittney Wallis

and LaRon King.

He shared a particularly special bond with his uncle, Grayland Wallis, Sr., whose love, guidance, and support were a meaningful part of Kedar's life.

He is also survived by his devoted stepmother, Lisa Wallis, along with a host of loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends, all of whom will forever hold his memory close to their heart.

Kedar was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Ronald Wallis and Diane Trosclair-Wallis; his paternal grandparents, Cleon Wallis and Josephine Wallace-Wallis; and his maternal grandparents, Robert Trosclair, Sr. and Genevieve Spencer-Trosclair.

Although our hearts are broken by his passing, we find comfort in knowing that his faith carried him home. Kedar's legacy of love, compassion, and service will continue to live on through his family, his friends, and everyone whose life he touched. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever treasured.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Psalm 34:18
