Whenever Kaleek's help was called upon, he would step up with help however needed without hesitation. Kaleek lived life to its fullest, and would light up everyone and everything around him. His eyes would sparkle, he would crack a smile, and that laugh would be contagious. You could hear him singing, rapping (oh lord) and shaking his dreads at times, music was always a passion for Kaleek.

He grew to be the host of many family gatherings, and began to be known as quite the grill master, and cooking was also another passion of his. Children could be seen and heard laughing and playing, Kaleeks music blaring, with the adults playing cards, with a drink and good conversation. Kaleek was the center of it all. Kaleek was the master in whatever he chose to do, cake decorating, babysitting, mowing grass, moving furniture, laundry, meditating, and partying. In essence, he worked very hard, but played even harder. As he grew into a man, the world was his for the taking, he had plans to go back to school and open up his own family restaurant, of course he had plans for each family member to be a part of his dream. Whatever life threw at him Kaleek embraced and made the most of it. Everyone that knew Kaleek, loved him for Kaleek. He was real, loyal and unwavering on his journey in life.
