Keno Tafara Chance

I will never forget the first time we met at school in 2008. You were making fun of someone and I got mad. You couldn't believe I had an attitude over a stranger I didn't know and although we always saw each other in passing, we had never spoken before then From that moment on the wheels started turning first friendship, then we fell in love, and back to friends. I remember when I would randomly call you throughout the years you would always say how did you find me? How did you get my number? My response was always the same. I work for the government and it's not hard to find someone named Keno Chance. So imagine to my surprise and utterly devastation when I go to find you and you're no longer here. My soul is crushed, heartbroken. I let to much time pass by before I called. I'm so sorry I didn't look for you sooner. You will always be in my heart Keno. I just can't believe your gone💔💔 rest well my love and dear friend. Your best girl💕

Your always there to answer my call bro and I'll never forget that.dane your lil brother

This Dane bro even though we was miles apart you still find time to be my big brother I'll see you when I get out of prison bro you always take my call.

Keno , it was me and you down here.. me and you.. and now your gone and I'm a bit lost. I could always count on you to show up even though I had to text you my address every time!! I promise to keep Carebear and Jr. Close. I will be there for them the was I was for you growing up because that what big cuz do. I go back and read our text and they all end with I love you cuz. I love you too. I can hear your voice and I'm sorry I didn't hear it more this past year. The lesson you left me with is pause , stop what your doing and when someone crosses your mind reach out right then and there don't put it off. This is so unreal.. Gathering at my home will not be the same without you. I miss you my little cuz, and I'll end it like we always do. I love you cuz, I love you too❤️

Rest well Keno. Thank you for being a honorary son to my parents and a brother and best friend to my brother. You will be missed. We will continue to keep you family and children in our prayers.

Lovingly the Asia and the family

RIP Keno. May the peace of God rest with your family and my the comfort of the Holy Spirit draw near to them.

Love my bro ❤ you will be missed ❤ 😢 🙏 love to your family and children.

Words can be a sword or an shield.  No matter how sharp  they cut you always So live your truth. You should never hide behind a shield   but speak it like how you see it, not what the world wanted it to be.  Rest up King.. love Diego and family

Keno, may you rest In Peace. Our condolences to the family🙏🏾 Green's family

It is often said "stop and smell the roses" or "tell those you love, you love them because tomorrow isn't promise".  Keno, words cannot explain the shock and confusion I felt upon hearing of your passing. Up to this day I am still in disbelief. Rest ashore that your memory will live on in the life's you've touched throughout your time on earth. Your frankness towards every and anything will be missed. There wasn't a gray area where you were concerned. It was either black or white. It's either we love you or we hate you, and as you can tell you were loved and will be missed. "Sleep on beloved, sleep and take your rest, we love you, but Jesus loves you best"

Keno we have known you from elementary school back in New York, seen you grown to a man and have children. You will be sadly missed. Now you are gone home to your maker. No more pain or sorrow.The Lord knows best. May your soul Rest In Peace. Our condolences to your family. from the Dawson Family

Where do I begin? First and foremost, I want to give my upmost respect and condolences to Keno's family and loved ones. Your personality and character speaks volumes of the type of person you were. Keno, you were that person who can be trusted, make anybody in the same room as you laugh with the jokes you told, and give everyone a sense of who they really are. We were roommates for about a year and a half in Atlanta and I must say, you were a great roommate! (no offense to you Jamel) I'm sorry that I can't be down there for the funeral services, but just know I'm there. If I could see you one last time through FaceTime or in person, I would throw on a Styles P. and Jada track so you could Wild Out. Miss you bro! Until we meet again. Love you brudda!

Death is such a hard thing to process. I'm sure your looking doing on all of us, telling us to get it together and stop the foolishness. I'm sure your making everyone in heaven laugh. I'm sure they are enjoying you. You were always the life of the party. A genuine true one. We love that about you. One thing about Keno is he gonna keep it real. You will be truly missed. We know your at peace now. Until we meet again family!!! With love!!! Glen and Antonia

It is often said give your loved ones flowers while they are here for we know not the time nor the place that it is our time to go to our forever home. This one is hard and so close to home for us so finding the words to express what we are feeling has not come easy. It is surreal to know your physical presence is no longer here with us. You had a strong personality. Stubborn as a bull but a truly one of a kind guy. We could always depend on you to be "Keno" every day all day despite what people felt about you. Either love you or hate you no gray area. It is our hope that you knew how much you were cared for and loved during your time in this crazy world. Who are we going to bump heads with now? You left a void in us that no one can ever come close to fill. We are so glad we had the chance to see you again after so long not knowing it would be our last. May your legacy live on through your kids. Rest assured we got them and will be there for them. Our condolences to the family. Rest on our beloved brother, Keno. See you on the other side.

This has truly been a crazy year and for some reason God is choosing to bring all his soldiers home. You been straight up with me and always had my back since high school. When nobody else would stand with me you would and be ready for whatever. Small dude with the heart of a lion and a straight up comedian lol. You will be missed brother. My love and condolences go out to your family and I hope your kids read this and know their father was a GOOD MAN and will be missed by many. Till I see you again, LOVE YOU BROTHER. REST IN PARADISE. 💯 ✊🏾✊🏾

To the most interesting and amazing I will ever meet you will be heavily missed and loved may you rest in peace❤️

I remember the first day we met it was my last day at my old job....We connected in that moment, it was like magic nothing but jokes all day every day. We shared our life our past out present together in that moment. We both felt we knew each other for a long time, Like two old friends getting caught up with old stories. I am so glad that I met you, and I'm so glad and happy you were part of my life, my kids life and I was part of your kids life as well. I am so glad I get to spend the last eight months with you....Now I have a part of you that's growing inside and it just hurts to see that you're not here with me to see this beautiful bundle of joy, But I know you're here in spirit watching over us. I know you're at peace Keno Chance ♥️💐 I love you and I miss you dearly until we meet again my love ♥️

Words can't even express how I am feeling. I will surely miss you Keno. I know we had our moments but you are the father of my kids and you was a great father and Active dad and for that I thank you and got mad love for you. It hurts so bad to see the hurt in our kids eyes and as I'm typing this I am realizing and accepting you're gone. I won't be able to tell you, how you getting on my nerves and laugh with you because our daughter is growing up and coming into womanhood. It was so funny when she start developing and you was just in a shock, well now I am in a shock with this. You always told me I was a great mother and I'm strong. Well more than ever I will continue to be. Rest In Peace Keno until we see each other again💐❤️❤️❤️ Ansley the mother of your kids.

I Had to ask him if he not going home because he can chat he chat the whole day lol but i still enjoyed his company and we both learned alot about each other those Last couple weeks.he gonna tell me he didn't know i was a good guy and then minutes later tell me im fuckery for making him wait so long for a haircut yall know keeno straight fwd and logical speaker lol so he say. Smh damn im gonna miss this guy my condolences to the family .sip my bredda.

Keno it was really nice to hear about all the great plans you had. Thank you for valuing my advice. You we're definitely a straight up person and respected you for being very transparent. You always cracked me up with your slick baby jokes because I was pregnant every year LoL. I admired your love for your sweet children. I remember the 1st time meeting you in person at Aunt Christine and the way you hugged and looked at her was love. Keno are missed already. Rest up King and keep watch. Really gone too soon -sharien

I haven't cried in a long time big bro. It's was you that always keep people laughing, always had some slick shit to say. I'm deep saddened, I tried to be strong, but the memories brought tears. I wish I could've chill and build before this unwanted event. I know You're with the most high now. I'll keep praying and do whatever I can for your family. Sleep in peace big bro.

Your unique transparency was unmatched and will definitely be missed. You were unapologetically you and stayed true to yourself. Those are the attributes that were admired. Thank you for keeping a smile on my face....seeing others smile because of you is one thing I know you enjoyed (even if you never admit it lol) we love and miss you Keno! -Kee Dawson
