Help Honor Ezekiel Elijah King's Memory

Hello.

My name is Tetranique and I am trying to raise money for my cousin’s funeral expenses.

Ezekiel Elijah King. Born Kenneth Ray Washington, worked at ASU downtown where he took his life Friday, December 6th. Ezekiel was such a good guy. A man of God. When I called him, he was always there. When I lost my mom in 2021 to Covid he drove me to the hospital and waited over an hour for me to say my goodbyes because they only let me in. He helped me with her funeral arrangements calling around to funeral homes. He helped me through my grief because he too lost his mom in 2005. He was my back bone. My protector. Ezekiel and I were more like brother and sister. Growing up, we were always together. He was my ride or die. He loved his job. He loved helping people. Anyone who knew him fell in love with his charm. His aura was infectious.

He suffered a silent battle. One where he didn’t have to suffer alone. One that ended up consuming him so that he couldn’t handle this world anymore. With that left many pieces to a puzzle I am trying to put together. But I need help. I want to honor my cousins life in the best way possible and send him off the way he deserves, the best way I can.

I know it is the holiday season which makes it even harder to give, but if you find it in your heart to donate, please do. If you can’t, please at least repost, share. Send prayers.

I thank you in advance and truly appreciate every one of you. God bless!
