Obituary For Ke'Aniya Tyasian Thomas

"Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God and me. In my father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And I prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself: there, where I am, there ye may be also.”

John 14: 1 -3

Ke’Aniya Tyasian Thomas was born September 30, 2008, in Columbia, South Carolina, to Kimberly Maxine Eady–Capers and Tyrone Thomas.

At an early age, she sought God's direction and worshipped at Greater Faith Temple C.O.G.I.C. in Fairfax, SC, under the leadership of Elder Paul Johnson.

Ke‘Aniya was a native of Columbia, SC, and she later moved to Aiken County with her family. She attended Kennedy Middle School and she became a proud cadet of the JROTC Program. In 2023, she graduated from Kennedy Middle School.

Ke‘Aniya was a sophomore at Aiken High School who excelled in her studies. She was currently enrolled in the culinary arts program.

“Niya,” as she was affectionately called, was a very spiritual teenager who believed in the “power of prayer.” She expressed daily, “Don’t forget to pray!” She enjoyed traveling, shopping, and cooking with her family, alongside expressing her desire to become a chef. “Niya” was a devoted daughter, sister, and loyal to her special friend, and she will forever be remembered for the love she had for her family.

Our loved one has been taken, but God has gained another angel. On Sunday, April 6, 2025, Ke‘Aniya was called home to be with the Lord in the comfort of her home.

As she begins her new journey of life, she will be greeted with love by her loving Maternal Grandparents: James Eady, Sr., and Hattie Mae Eady; Paternal Step–Grandmother: Lillie Mae Capers.

Her presence shall always be remembered by: Her loving parents, Kimberly Eady–Capers and Stepfather: Frank Capers, of the home; (3) Loving Brothers: MarQuis Williams, Columbia, SC; Acavedeus Brown; of the home; MarQuivedeus Brown; Aiken, SC; (3) Step – Sisters: TyJae Carbo; Charleston, SC; Naomi Frazier; Cayce, SC; Amanda Graham; Savannah, GA Special Friend: Iasiah Brantley; Aiken, SC; Father: Tyrone Thomas; Charleston, SC; Paternal Grandparents: Yvonne(Frank) Aiken; Charleston, SC; (3) Loving Aunts: Pastor Phyllis Eady – Spencer; Connie (Larry) Jackson; all of Columbia, SC; LaVerne (Clifton) Mikell; New Ellenton, SC; (1) Loving Uncle: James (Tomeka) Eady, Jr., Sumter, SC; (3) Grand Aunts: Louella(Clarence) Housey; Rincon, GA; Emma Jean (James) Ginn; and Ruth Ann (Gerald) Frazier, all of Fairfax, SC; Devoted Cousin: Isaac Sharpe; Columbia, SC.

Well Lord I know it's your will. But father God please give my extended family strong strength to endure this sweet baby's transitioning. Niya you was such a good baby who turned into a well mannered sweet teenager. You never gave your parents no trouble. And, I use to love to care for you when you, your mommy Kim, your 3 brothers, me and Bj would go shopping so many times together. All of y'all was such good kids playing in the stores under the racks. Even the Caucasian people was always complimenting all of you kids. Don't worry we're going to take good care of your mommy Kim, father Frank and the family.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
