KiJuan was a talented football player. I was at West Hills when he was. He was a pretty funny dude, too. On this day, I offer my continued prayers to his family and friends.
Long live KiJuan.

Kijuan was a classmate of mine in California at West Hills. For some reason, he crossed my mind today. I'm not sure how to reach out to his family, so I wanted to reach out and leave a message on here.

He was a solid dude. He was great on the football field. His personality was really a great to those who knew him.

I hope the holidays are good to you all.

Kijuan lives on through each of you.

Arlene & Donald: I am so sorry for your lost and I will pray that GOD grant you peace during this time. The scriptures says in Psalms 30:5 - Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Also, Arlene and I served in the military together, and my eldest son name is Kijuan as well. GOD BLESSINGS!!!

I've known Kijuan since 8th grade & he was a sweetheart. We treated each other like sister n brother. I remember him coming to my house after school on Fridays so I can braid his hair, & our last convo. a few weeks ago was about the old days. "A sis, I think I paid you in advance for a hair do, you still owe me." Lol, I'm going to miss him like crazy. It was a pleasure to have had you as a friend.

S.I.P Mr Kijuan L.O Byrd
I will never forget you
