Kieya Lee-Ann Grant

Kieya Lee-Ann Grant was born on July 31, 1993 to her parents, Sandra Levine and Stephen Grant on the beautiful island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Nickname Kiki, like her big sister Kira. She came into this world full of personality, spunk and joy.

On January 19, 2015, Kieya gave birth to a beautiful, smart and outspoken baby girl, Ka'Niyah Fleming. She too came into the world full of personality like her mom. She was perfect in Kieya's eyes! Kieya was so excited and proud to become a mother. She made sure Niyah had everything and anything she needed. They did so many fun things together, creating priceless memories. Kieya truly enjoyed spending time with her daughter and loved her with everything in her being.

Kieya was a sweet, kind, and loving soul. She was funny, loved a good joke but she was always ready for anything, at anytime and anywhere. She was very protective over her family and friends. Willing to defend them without question. She was strong, brilliant, resilient, bold, loving and caring.

Kieya, my friend, my baby sister, we all miss you so much already, words cannot describe this feeling. Sis, you left us way before your time but God had greater plans for you. But you left us with your beautiful princess, who will be greatly loved, cherished and cared for the rest of her life.

Let us all remember her love, her strength, her laughter, her contagious smile and all the wonderful memories we shared with Keiya! She was the official ride or die.
