Keondre Shalon Adams was born on January 7th 2003 to Quiana Smith and Andre Adams. Keondre was a native Staten Island resident who was loved by all that new knew him. Keondre was an old soul. As people like to say, Keondre has been here before. He was wise beyond his years. He was extremely intelligent and academically gifted. Which placed him in several honors classes at the schools he attended such as P.S. 16, Eagle Academy for Young Men of Staten Island, Michael J. Petrides and Curtis High School. He loved basketball and was top 5 on Staten Island while on the team at Eagle Academy. Keondre could speak his way out of a paper bag. He was eloquent…charismatic like a politician. He was privileged enough to meet Barack and Michelle Obama during a family meet & greet but to much surprise…he did not have many words then…he was speechless.

Keondre loved music. At a young age he would be rhyming and recording himself. He was so passionate about it that in his most recent years, he began to go to the studio and rap. Most of all if you knew Keondre…you knew he loved family.

Keondre’s village was HUGE! With large families on both sides, he leaves so many to mourn. He leaves behind his mother Quiana Smith and father Andre Adams. His 3 brothers Kalel, Richard and Robert. His aunt/mom Heather Colbourne. His aunts Marion “Nano”, Chenise, Auria (Wimpy), Laverne and Jamillah (Jadi). His uncles Michael, Edward, Shaun and his great grandmother Inez Colbourne. He exceeded his grandmother Auria, his uncle Bobby and his Abuela.
