With deepest sorrow, we announce that Kendrick Malijah Williams-Burgess, 22, of Conyers, GA, our most beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, family member and friend passed away unexpectedly on July 20, 2021 and the family is deeply saddened.

Malijah was born on August 17, 1998 to Gary Joshua Williams and Daisy Percell in Columbia, SC. Malijah resided with his grandmother in Georgia, where he graduated from Norcross High School, was passionate about the JROTC program, and learning various languages.  After graduating high school, Malijah was currently attending Georgia State University.
