Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Khayos spent his formative years in the local schools and was a member of the Dr. Tuwaner Hudson Lamars' Fl. Math Fan Club and competed multiple years at Morehouse College Math Competition Bootcamp. His later years were split between MacClenny and Gainesville, Florida.  A proud Baker County High School Wildcat, he graduated with a roaring spirit that stayed with him. Also, he was formally employed by the Florida Department of Corrections.

At just 14, Khayos accepted Christ and became an integral part of Central CME Church, where he was baptized. His faith remained a cornerstone of his life, guiding him to spread joy and positivity wherever he went.

Khayos was a radiant light in the world, known for his infectious energy, goofy personality, and natural humor. He had a gift for making everyone feel seen and valued, and his presence was unforgettable. Whether he was hog hunting, cooking up a storm, or simply being his wonderful self, Khayos lived life to the fullest.

A true country boy at heart, he loved the outdoors and the thrill of the hunt. More recently, he discovered a passion for cooking, which brought him immense joy. His zest for life was inspiring, and his determination to seize every opportunity was contagious.

Khayos had a natural talent for connecting with people, and promoting was one of his favorite pursuits. He effortlessly lit up any room, and his love for life was palpable.

Above all, Khayos was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed. His legacy of joy, resilience, and authenticity will continue to inspire his family and friends. Though we may say "see you later" instead of goodbye, because goodbye felt too final we take comfort in the memories we shared and the impact he had on our lives.

And so, in the same spirit, this is not farewell. It's simply, see you later Khayos.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
