Kemjika's obituary

On July 16, 2023, Dr. Kemjika Onuoha, 36, passed away peacefully in Grayson, Georgia. He was born in Miami, Florida on February 8, 1987, but was raised and spent his formative years in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was an avid fan of basketball and spent the majority of his free time playing as much as he could with his friends and family. While Kemjika found joy in sports, he nevertheless excelled academically and went on to attend college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. He next attended medical school at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, graduating with his Doctor of Medicine degree in 2013. In the following years he completed his medical residency program and a yearlong fellowship in orthopedics. Finally, realizing his lifelong dream, he returned to Atlanta and began work as a full-time orthopedic surgeon in the Fall of 2022. He was passionate about making an impact on the lives of his patients through “fixing bones”, and he could not have been more thrilled to start his medical career in Atlanta, a city that had a special place in his heart. He lit up every room that he entered, and his gregariousness, laughter, and friendship will be sorely missed. He is survived by his son Jeremiah of Baltimore, Maryland; his parents, Dr. Maximus Onuoha and Josephine Onuoha of High Point, North Carolina; his brothers, Enyioma Onuoha of New York, New York, and Ukachukwu Onuoha and Ugonna Onuoha, both of Charlotte, North Carolina; and many uncles, aunts, and cousins around the world.
