Kalizibe David Okoya, 20, of Norman, Oklahoma, passed away on April 29, 2024. Born on September 9, 2003, to Ogbinya Peter Okoya and Enieni Elizabeth Enegile, Kalizibe's life full of compassion, laughter, and melody.
Kalizibe, a native of Norman, spent his formative years immersed in the vibrant rhythms of the city. He pursued higher education, completing some college, while his heart remained tethered to his hometown. With a soul attuned to the melodies of classical and electric music however, his all-time favorite was Liebestraum NO. 3, (Orchestral Edition). Kalizibe found solace in the depths of deep blue, a color that mirrored the serenity he carried within. His perfect day was a simple pleasure: indulging in snacks and embarking on a series binge, enveloped in the comfort of his favorite tunes. A beacon of joy, Kalizibe's laughter echoed through the corridors of life, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.
His warmth radiated in the company of family and friends, reminding us of the simple yet profound joys of human connection. Patient and understanding, Kalizibe embodied empathy in its purest form, teaching us the virtues of kindness and compassion. He leaves behind a legacy of thoughtfulness, caring, and generosity, a testament to the depth of his character. Music was his muse, his sanctuary, and his passion. From the soul-stirring melodies of classical compositions to the electrifying beats of modern music, Kalizibe found solace and inspiration in every note. His love for bass instruments and the adrenaline rush of boxing were testaments to his zest for life and his unyielding spirit.
Among his many achievements, Kalizibe's talent as a musician shone brightly, he was an Okmea all-state athlete for three consecutive years. In the symphony of life, Kalizibe's melody may have faded, but the resonance of his spirit will endure in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he be remembered not only for his remarkable talents but also for the kindness he bestowed upon the world.
