We are gathered here today to bid farewell to Kiante Williams, who passed away on January 11, 2025, at the young age of 27 in Savannah, Georgia.

Kiante was born on April 23, 1997, to Perry Williams and Natasha Sloan. They were the beloved partner of Charles Sheppard III and the proud parent of two children, Cassidy Olivia Sheppard and Cayden Emanuel Sheppard.

Kiante attended Alfred Eli Beach High School and continued their studies at Savannah Tech, where they excelled academically and made many lasting friendships.

Despite their intelligence and wit, Kiante struggled with life's challenges and ultimately succumbed to the darkness that haunted them, choosing to end their own life.

She lived a life of service she loved helping others. Kiante touched so many people in and number of ways from helping out the kids on the block to absolute dedication to whatever it was she locking in on she never quit and she had a life alot harder then most but time and time again she pushed though. remember her love for others, her grace, her wisdom, her resilience and lastly her strength. We may not understand the circumstances of why but we know GOD is in control

While we mourn the loss of Kiante, let us also remember the moments of laughter and joy they brought into our lives. Their quirky sense of humor and infectious smile will forever be missed.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to a mental health charity in Kiante's memory.

Rest in peace, Kiante. You will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved you.
