He also leaves behind his beloved sons: Kyle Whittaker, Jaden Marrero, Elijah Marrero, and Jayce Sears; brothers: Gabriel Lopez, Isaiah Lopez, Traevon Pierce, Kishon Pierce; sisters: Joy Perkins, Christy Perkins, and Tracey Perkins; as well as a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

My family is forever saddened by his passing. Kawon has in my life since my son Ezekiel married his mother Tawana. He felt like a grandson to me as well as his boys who called me grandma. You were always respectfully and loving towards me. I love and I will truly miss you being around when I visited. Love Sylvia

I would like to send my condolences to my whole entire family as this is a great loss to all of us. To my cousin Tawana no one can empathize just sympathize with what you’re going through and this tremendous loss. God had you is his hands and he will grant you the strength that you need to get through this time. I will pray for your strength. I’m not sure if I ever met Kawon or if so it’s been forever but I know that he was and is amazing young man full of love. May he rest in peace and be the angel God had called home to watch over his family.
Kawon was my cousin through marriage. I could remember when I found out I had a new cousin and he was my age . I was so excited. I haven’t seen Kawon in years, the last time I saw him was in Jacksonville Florida. When we were young teens . Boy was he funny, and full of life and energy. I’m so sad to hear that you are no longer here. Leaving behind your 4 boys and all of us family and friends .
To my auntie Tawana , Tio Ez and cousins Gabe and Isaiah. I can’t begin to imagine how you all feel but I know that Kawon is with God and his heart and soul are free of hurt and the world’s problems. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.
Love you all .
I have known the family for about 40 years and this is a tragic loss for the whole family!Rest In Jesus!
Im so sorry for your loss cuz. My family and I will continue to pray for strength for you all. Our deepest condolences go out to you all.
Love you ❤️🙏💔
This right here hurts and hurts deep. All I can say is the most high has another Angel. I was 15 when Kawon was born and all I could remember was Wow what a beautiful gift. I looked at Tawana and Trae (The birth parents) like y’all did that and was amazed. This was my 1st nephew and such a blessing and beautiful soul that I knew I wanted children of my own to walk the path with him and my nieces and other nephews. Kawon even worked with me with Ethan Allen furniture and showed not only a very strong work ethic but this young man would not even want lunch to save all of his money which I said you’re not doing that I’ll buy lunch. He would take his money and go buy his fitted caps, clothes and sneakers but then go to the city and spend money on his cousins and family. He was so giving, caring, funny and loving. Kawon I cannot imagine not having you here but I’m guessing you were needed in a higher place that’s all I can think of. To Tawana and Trae (The the birth parents) all I can say is I know how hard this is and y’all know how I know. My truest condolences and prayers 🙏🏾 ❤️. I’m not good with words in these moments but my heart is broken with this. I love you Kawon always S.I.P. until we all reunite in one Kingdom forever eternally. Until then say hi to all we’ve lost up there some have not met you yet and some have but all will be blessed with the spirit of you that we’ve been so blessed with. 🙏🏾
Dear Tawana ,Tracey and fam,
It is with deep sadness to hear of the loss of my great nephew. My last memory of him is a birthday gathering when he was much younger. Still as a young man God has called him home.
