Aleigha Keith, a radiant beacon of kindness and love, took her final breath on October 9, 2023, far too early at the tender age of 13. Born on October 1, 2010, Aleigha shone brightly in her short time on earth, leaving an indelible impact on the lives she touched.

She is survived by her loving boyfriend, Jonnie Sanders, who will forever cherish the memories they created together. Aleigha was distinctly characterized by her beautiful soul, cool demeanor, infectious kindness, and her unique ability to make people laugh even on their darkest days.

Aleigha was a lover of life, with a passion for basketball. She displayed her love for the sport on and off the court, exuding team spirit that was felt by all. Her greatest accomplishment, however, did not lie in the baskets she made but in the joy and motivation she instilled in others.

Aleigha's life was a testament to positivity, echoing in her profound lesson that 'hate is not something to be worried about.' In her wisdom beyond her years, she taught us all to rise above negativity, embodying her legacy of kindness and love for all.

Her absence will be deeply felt by all those who knew and loved her. 'I will miss my girl,' echoes the sentiments of all of us. Yet, we find solace in the knowledge that her spirit will remain with us, guiding us towards a path of love and understanding.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up in Aleigha's name to further the causes she held dear. Donations can be made to the Children's Defense Fund. For more details, please visit the following link: https://everloved.com/life-of…

Though her physical presence is no longer amongst us, Aleigha's spirit lives on through her unyielding love and kindness. She will forever remain in our hearts, a constant reminder of the goodness in the world.
