Celebration of Life for Mr. Ke'Juan Alexander Poole

Ke’Juan Alexander Poole was born in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 24, 2009, to Olivia Poole and Cantrell Harris.

Ke’Juan attended several churches with his parents. They were in search of a church home, with Greater Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church being the latest.

Ke’Juan was educated in the Jefferson County school system and was a seventh grader at Irondale Middle School. Ke’Juan was an active member of the Irondale Community Boys Club, as well as a member of the Irondale Middle School football team and a trainer with the basketball team. Ke’Juan was an outgoing and cheerful student and well respected among his peers.

During his spare time, Ke’Juan enjoyed playing sports, playing video games with family and friends, rapping, and just listening to music. Ke’Juan was very fashionable, and his latest goal was to start a fashion line beginning with hoodies. With that being said, he even developed his clothing logo, “Real Loner.”

He was very loved within his family and always wanted to make sure family was together. Ke’Juan was very close to his maternal father, who affectionately referred to him as “Phat Daddy,” and the name stuck with all of his father’s family. During his younger years, he developed a close bond with his great-uncle “Uncle J.” He and Uncle J. spent many hours together attending sport events, visiting sick friends, and just being together. He was close to all his siblings, but held a very special bond with his mom, dad, and bonus dad.

Ke’Juan transitioned to his heavenly home on Thursday, February 2, 2023. He was preceded in death by his great-grandfather, James Brown, Sr.; uncle, Clifford Harris; and many other relatives.

Ke’Juan leaves to cherish his memory: his mother, Olivia Poole; father, Cantrell Harris; bonus dad, Rickie Wilkerson; four sisters, Rihanna Wilkerson, Cariyana Wilkerson, Treniya Harris, and Aubri Young; two brothers, Chicotti Wilkerson and Trevyon Harris; grandparents, Alfonza Poole, Lisa Poole, Anita (Carlos) Crim, and Teresa Wilkerson; great-grandmothers, Wynola Brown and Lillie B. Trummer; godmothers, Yunesia Warner and Alyssa Clark; godfather, William Hardy; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
