It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved “Keara”. Zy’keara Barnes passed away on January 10,2021 due to a tragic car accident. She was born September 18, 2005 to Shawanna Mcknight (mother) Akil Barnes (father) in Norfolk, Virginia.
Zy’keara was full of life. She loved dancing and listening to music. She would always come to me and say “listen ma, you gon like it, I promise”, next thing I know she’s dancing and having a good time. No matter where she was, you knew Zykeara was there, her goofy laugh was contagious. Her style was unique. Her heart was pure and her love was loyal.
Zy’keara played basketball for Lake Taylor High school in her 9th grade year.Her position was center, she tried her hardest every game, she was so proud of herself to have made it threw and completed a season of Basketball, because she always wanted to play. Then as soon the game was over, she would say” Ma, I need my hair done”. That is who she was Smart, Loyal, Goofy, Stylish and Full of life!

I am sending love, light and prayers. Zykeara was a beacon of sunshine on some of the darkest days for me. Her individuality, fun nature and her brilliance always impressed me. I am so proud to have been her teacher. It is students like you that make teaching worth it.
You will be greatly missed by many, may your memory live in the hearts of all whom love you and all who were blessed to even know you.
Rest In heaven beautiful soul.

January 25, 2021 at 11:14 pmI am so sorry to hear about Zykeara’s passing away. I was her 9th grade math teacher last year at Lake Taylor. We had a good teacher-student relationship from the start. I was tough on my students but they knew that I loved them. She was no different. I often told her that my “the last time I fought a girl was the 3rd grade, and she beat me up…don’t make me have to fight again to get you to do your work!” I switched up the grade every time I told the story and Zykeara was quick to tell me, “Mr. Cook, you said it was the 5th grade last time…” She was moved from my class for a scheduling issue but would often come by and tell me she missed my class and give me a hug! I miss that young lady…my heart ache to think that such a promising young lady is gone from this world…God’s Peace and Comfort for the entire family!
