A true friend, who always, always lifted others up. Nakia always, always deflected praise, gave others credit even though he was deserving. He is truly missed. So grateful our paths crossed and hopefully they will again, if I am so worthy. If they do, he'll smile and pat me on my back and give me the praise, just as he always has. My sincere condolences to his family. Miss you, big guy!

Nakia,
Just want you to know that I am most appreciative to the most high for allowing our paths to cross. You were a very good person. I enjoyed our endless conversations about everything under the sun. Thanks for being in my wedding and thanks for being a friend that I could always call on when I needed you. May God grant you a place in his kingdom. I will cherish our friendship for all the days of my life. Thanks for being a wonderful friend, Missing you from the bottom of my heart.

I am a member of Nakia HS basketball association. My very first GHSA game was with Nakia and this year my first game of the season was with him. I can still remember his words "Tony, make sure you look over your shoulder when going to the new lead". From this moment on I will see Nakia as I run to the lead. He always made you so comfortable and was always concerned about you. I think we talked more about football and volleyball in our pregames. This one really hurts. My condolences to his family. He is missed already.

Basketball Officials wear the same uniform, but we all aren't alike. Kia was the model of a gentleman and we need more like him. Rest in Peace and we will "see you again" in a land that knows no parting, because, "Christians never say goodbye for the last time."

Nakia you will truly be missed by your family and friends. I haven't seen you since we left Troup High but the laugh we had in the hallway as we would say the West Point Crew was memorable. All I say now is rest on my friend and Job well done. My prayers are with your family and friends during this time.

A poem for Nakia....
Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone. And no one knows the heartache as I carry on. My heart still ache with sadness and many tears still flow. What it meant to lose you,no one will ever know.
My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
There will always be a heartache and often a silent tear, but always a precious memory of the days when you were here. If tears could make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane, we'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain, until that day we meet again. -author unknown
To the family I pray the peace of God comfort you.

My son, My son, My son......I am SO hurt that you left me. When you were here at the house last, and we had our long talks, as usual....you left and said "I should have been talked to you." I had no idea that was our last time talking. I didn't know you were going to leave me. Thank you for being a Great Great father to my grand son. You always helped to take care of me when I was sick, now you have left me. I promise, I will always help see about your son. Who am I going to make corn bread and sweet potato pies for now? I Love You, and I'm gonna miss you!!

To the family,it sadden me to hear about Nakia. He was a great person. I remember he would be standing in ApolloMD lobby and he would greet me with that beautiful smile. He would always have something positive to say to me and he took time out of his busy schedule to come to some of my son's football games. "Gone to soon" but I know God is too wise to make mistakes. We love and miss you. Family I will continue praying that God gives you all strength during this difficult time. Nakia will be forever missed.

I met Nakia several years ago through one of his dearest friends (Hassy). Nakia was a kind soul and a true friend with a big heart. He had a great sense of humor & behind the tears are many memories of joy and laughter. Nakia is resting in peace now and no longer have to worry about the troubles of this world. I truly pray God gives strength to his family and friends as you celebrate his life and legacy. Nakia - you were a great person and will be missed so much.

No one could have told me Nakia last week as we parted in the elevator, that it would be my last goodbye. Who's going to guide me now to the best college prospect for Zuri?
I'm going to miss you asking me every Monday "how did we do this weekend"? "who won the game"?
You are truly loved and missed Nakia, but I do have consolation in knowing my friend, that we will meet in the "East".
The angels are rejoicing....Sleep well my brother.
To the family: You've raised a fine young man with a loving heart! May that peace of God which surpasses all understanding, rest with you as you get through this time.

Kia, I remember sitting around laughing at you because you were always joking and had a smile! The 90's were the best! Even though it's been a while since we spoke or saw each other, I remember the old days like yesterday! You will truly be missed and you were "Primetime" if there ever was one! ♡

I am grateful to have known Nakia. His jokes, smile and charm made a rough day into a good day. I’m saddened to hear that such a beautiful person has left us too soon.

Nakia,
An awesome person with a big smile and positive attitude towards life. Being around him was always a joy and learning experience. To the family, no one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. But take comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the arms of our Lord. My deepest condolences to you and your family

I had the awesome pleasure of working with Nakia, at ApolloMD for over 4 years. He always had a smile on his face or a kind word to say. He genuinely cared about people and their well being. When I heard the news it was like my very own brother had passed on, because that is the kind of spirit that Nakia walked with every time I saw him and he will truly be missed. To the family: mourn your loss for as long as you need to, but please know that Nakia is resting in Our FATHERS bosom, and he was better than this world ever deserved. May our FATHER GOD give you peace beyond all understanding.

Nakia...A real genuine person that always made everyones day by simply coming in contact with him whether in a parking lot, hallway or in church.

Many people only wish to be remembered this way. God speed my loving brother. You are greatly missed

Nakia the business and vocation of officiating has lost a true gentleman. You were a good referee, a good friend to so many, a good partner and off the floor. As competitive as this business is you never lost sight of the friendship/relationship side of it. You always had a kind word and encouraged your peers. That is something I always admired about you. You will truly be missed my brother but your spirit will always live in the memories of the many lives you touched on and off the floor. May your family find peace and comfort in the legacy you have left behind for others to aspire to. Rest in peace "Kia" job well done my brother.

It doesn't get easier. This year was more difficult for Kaden than any other year. I think it has EVERYTHING to do with him walking into adulthood and you not being here. He's working and in school but he verbally expressed it was difficult. Keep watching over us. You are missed EVERYDAY. Love Big Guy and Mom

Chrissy Jones cookies
March 5, 2015
by Andrea Cox
Kia's locker was right beside mine during my time @ Troup High School. Chrissy Jones used to sell freshly baked hot cookies every morning before class. She only had two flavors; peaut butter which was my favorite and chocolate chip. Chrissy's locker was right beside Kia's so we always got the cookies first before she started selling them to everybody else. One particular morning, Kia got to his locker before me and when I got there he said, Chrissy aint got no cookies this morning! I said boy you lying. I waited and waited. Chrissy finally showed up and sure enough she had sold out of cookies. I said Chrissy, you know you supposed to have my peanut butter cookies waiting on me every morning. (They only cost $1 for a bag of cookies) she said Kia told me to give them to him this morning!! I said what!!! When I turned around Kia was gone!!! I was hot because that silly boy
ate my cookies. It took me 2 days to catch up with Kia again and when I confronted him all he did was laugh!!!
