Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, a close friend and former classmate of Bounce television executive Ryan Glover, shared words about the bright 11-year-old, who passed away last week after suffering from injuries sustained from a jet ski accident on July 6th.
Kile’s stepdad Usher Raymond also attended the funeral, but appropriately remained out of the spotlight.
A white horse-drawn buggy transported Kile, who many described as “A Beautiful Mind,” to the funeral service which was held at the Wieuca Road Baptist Church on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Kile was dressed in an all white suit from head to toe.
Service arrangements were handled by Phaedra Parks, who coordinated the event with Willie Watkins Funeral Home. Others who appeared to show their respects include Nene & Gregg Leakes, former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, Sister2Sister editor Jamie Foster-Brown and more.
Details + photos/video below…
The funeral program honored Kile with several photos taken with family and friends. Tameka’s words about her son, “A Beautiful Mind” was used to describe the bright youngster on the cover as well. He was also remembered in a video, titled, “A Beautiful Mind.”
Just hours before the accident that occurred on Lake Lanier, Kile sent a postcard from his iPhone to family and friends. The family shared the postcard in the program where Kile wrote:
Hello from paradise,
wishing you were here. Our vacation is everything we have hoped for and more. We’re also excited to come home to family and friends.
There were several film and camera crews around the area and I knew a video would soon be coming. Rolling Out posted the following live from the scene footage where they also interviewed Willie Watkins, who spoke of Kile as a ‘soul without sin’.

While it’s clear that nothing can replace her son, helping others save their’s is a noble goal on her part. No mother should ever have to bury their child.

This is so heartbreaking. RIP Kile
My heart prayers goes out to his entire family.
RIP KILE GLOVER.
So very sad.Just look at the baby crying, but the young man is in a better place.Rest peacefully.Yes, HE gives you rest for your soul.
The entire situation is really tragic, I’m not the biggest Tameka Raymond fan, but my heart truly goes out to her and her family during this difficult time
Was it necessary to mention your dislikes for Tameka. Just wish she and her family well during this diffucult time.
I know right, how she,going to feel sad but disrespectful at the same time? smh
RIP Kile
Rest In Peace little Kile, you are with the Lord now. May God bless your soul.
R.I.P lil man!! My thoughts & prayers to the family.
Rest In Paradise. May the memories and priceless moments they shared with Kile give them strength and comfort forever.
Bless them all. Laying your child to rest is the most painful thing ever, wishing them peace at this difficult time
… just heartbreaking.
Best post you’ve ever done! This should remind you to be sensitive of other’s feelings everyday, NOT just when someone dies!
I agree.
Tameka is a real mother, while laying her baby to his final rest she comforts her other in her arms..all the while in pain..ONLY a mother could do that..I pray for peace someday for her and the family
Beautifully stated. God Bless their entire family.
No mother should ever have to bury her child. I pray for her strength, peace and gods grace and mercy to cover her. I find it so un necessary to start off your condolences with ‘even though I’m not a fan of Tamekas’. Tact and couth is truly something not everyone has.
Well dayum lol. I’d be lying if I hadn’t thought the same thing, though lol
So young! RIP. I wish courage to Tameka Foster.
Damn that is so sad.
It is obvious that Kile was a gifted and talented spirit, I am truly saddened this happened.
From the post card alone, you can tell Kile had a way with words and was a very respectful and grateful person.
I don’t know why tragic things happen to great people but I guess we just have to accept it.
Oooh this is sooooooo sad. I feel like crying right now. I can’t imagine and my heart aches for them. Rest in peace Kile. My prayers continue to be with them. That’s why it is important to love one another. Life can change in the blink of an eye.
That is just so sad. I might know how they feel right now.
Is Tameka a member of Wieuca Road Baptist Church?? Hmmm.
Rest in Paradise Kile.
@Uh: I am not sure of her church membership, but funerals are moved all the time based on capacity, etc. I believe that Left Eye’s funeral was held at one of New Birth’s locations. The church had the space to accommodate her family, friends, fans, supporters, etc.
Death is so sad but we all have to face it one day. My condolence goes out to the entire family, may God be with you in your time of need.
“a beautiful mind” is very inappropriate since it was a head injury & that movie is about a person with a disorder…#IJS
I’m going to need you to immediately….. KILL YOURSELF.
LMAO. Some things are better left as a thought, never to be expressed.
Wow.
Agree the other response as well.
I must say you truly just made yourself look like an idiot! Do you really think Tameka and Ryan were thinking about a movie? Please do us all a favor and have several seats! Thank you!!!
U have to read btwn the lines ….duhhhh
Rest in peace young man, you are now sleeping a peaceful sleep!
now um…why is tameka holding that boy? how old is he? he appears to be spoiled because im sure he don’t have a clue as to what is going on..her lips are telling him to shhhh..where was usher? this would have been the time that usher should have been by her side holding his son and conforting her.
ummm..is phaedra pregnant? were the rhoa cameras following her? i hpe not, cuz that would have been so tacky and wrong. phaedra stop wearing those dresses that are so tight it shows your gut! spanx please!
again..rest in peace little kile, this is so very sad….i pray for tameka her ex huband kiles father and all involved…Lord have Mercy!
Chile you need to shut your mouth. This is a sensitive subject I hope your finger tips fall off so you can’t type anymore dumb shit like that. Have some respect moron.
Are you being serious right now?? This is really tacky of you. SMH.
Common sense would tell you that Usher’s presence would deter from the family which is why he stayed out of where teh camera could find him.. So what if this child is spoiled..you don’t know what was said to him about his big brother..he may not understand which is true and doesn’t get why Kile won’t "wake up"..I know blogs are for gossip and some people take the cattiness to heart..but there is a time an a place and this isn’t it..do better
Are you serious? Please do us all a favor and shut up!!! Believe it or not the child may know what is going on. Further more, that is her child. If she wants to hold him and comfort him that is her right. How about you find more important things to worry about. Get a life and a clue!
Play nice people. The difference of opinion is what makes this world so interesting. What may be sensitive to some, is not to others. So as insensitive and out of place it may sound, they have their right to a comment and opinion. Some people are not afraid to go against the grain and say what feel. I am not condoning the comments but I am not upset by them either. To the above poster, you will be amazed what children understand. My three year chases and waves at airplanes in the sky because the last time he saw my daughter she was on plane headed to Korea. To him she has not gotten off yet. When he goes to sleep at night, he wakes up every morning and says, "ma, i missed you" because he knows that when his eyes is closed, he no longer can see me. So imagine what a child might feel to know that their brother is tucked away in a box, sleep, and they get to watch that box go in the ground. He understands, maybe not at our level but he understands.
I know Tameka and Usher are going to a custody battle but I do feel that if she needs time, which I encourage her to take, that Usher will care for them boys until she is mentally and emotionally able. He can provide her all the support she needs and my advice to her is to take time and don’t lose yourself in making sure all else is fine and functioning as normal as possible. Big Hugs and Kisses to the whole family.
@Trulyblessed: I the part of your comment about your children and the airplanes, missing you, etc. So cute!
@ Mary: I believe that you were the person tearing Phaedra to shreds for her swimsuit two or three weeks ago. Apparently, negatively and criticism are both key elements of your day to day personality.
Shame on you…just heathenish!
Lord my heart goes out to Tameka and Kile’s family.
I am tearing up looking at his little brother crying in his mother’s arms. I can’t!
How incredibly heart-wrenching to ever consider a mother losing their child. I hope that something can be done at Lake Lanier because I have heard of too many tragedies and so far it seems that nothing has been done to correct these terrible occurrences. #PrayersforKile
Mary you are quite the simple bird. I am so curious to know what pile of excrement your life form emerged from. May you live long enough to have your callousness rebuke you.
hahahaha now you KNOW she didnt understand anything that you just posted!!! I could NOT have said it better.
LOVED this tribute to the Beautiful Mind that has touched us all through this tragic situation…my heart still hurts for Tameka and the family.
I must say that I almost didnt read the comments…this post was soooooo beautiful that I didnt want to read any negativity as I am sooooooo over the bashing of Tameka…neverthless YOU ALL did my heart some good and I thank you all for being positive and focusing on what really matters.
Ummmmmm Mary…sigh…she was holding her SON and I am sure if she could have held ALL of them at that moment she would have…that’s what mothers do you know. People will always look for SOMETHING!!! I didnt read the rest of your comment as I found it to be a waste of my few seconds.
May we all learn from this and increase our love like never before. Life is short and tomorrow isnt promised.
Kudos to you Michelle this is the BEST tribute I have seen on the internet yet, I am sure there was plenty of other things that you could have said but THIS is what is needed…may you be blessed in abundance for your kindness.
Thanks @Vay. That’s very kind of you (((hugs)))
This is so heart breaking!! My son and Kile were born a few days apart that year. I pray for comfort and strength during this time for Tameka’s heart and soul!! The thought of not having my son is unbearable and brings tears to my eyes!! YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS TAMEKA and RYAN!!
MARY??? Seriously! You couldn’t hold that tidbit? that was so unnecessary and judgmental!! this wasn’t the post for that comment. Have some tact!
@ MARY U ARE A HATER, STRAIGHT UP!! STOP HATING ON PHAEDRA!!! SHE ACTUALLY LOOKS HOT IN THAT DRESS…MY PRAYER GO OUT TO TAMEKA RAYMOND AND FAMILY!! IT IS SAAD THAT PEOPLE STILL THROW SHADE DURING THESE TIMES SHAME ON YOU! MY PEOPLE WE HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER WITH THE PESSIMISTIC BEHAVIOR WE HAVE NOW A DAYS!! WE CAN NEVER GROW IN A BOX WITH NO LIFE…LIVE LOVE LAUGH MY PEOPLE
@ ATLIEN KUDOS FOR A GREAT STORY WITHOUT SHADE…#BRINGTHECLASSYBACK
Tameka is really strong. She can’t even mourn one son without another son crying. I can’t imagine. God bless the entire family, and everyone please either continue to (or start to) send positive prayers up for the entire family.
Unfortunately, the funeral doesn’t end their grief. I know from personal experience losing my father as a teenager. This has all probably been a whirlwind for the family with all of these major tragic events happening so close together. When the family sits down and there is idle time, that’s when the true grief sets in.
Agreed. It is after the funeral when people pull away. That’s when you need the support most…when that person is in the ground and the physical body will never be seen again. That’s what’s hard…letting go of that physical presence.
The baby picture of Kile in the upper right hand corner of the video at 1:26 is heart stoppingly stunning. His eyes just glow with a light of a pure spirit. You can tell that he had an amazing spirit.
My prayers to the family doing this difficult time. Heartbreaking to lose a child!!!!!
This whole thing is heartbreaking, but when I noticed we shared the same zodiac sign, that did something to me. That Aries energy is something to experience!
From the footage above, Tameka certainly held it together. I see the point Mary was trying to make about the baby being with Usher and Tameka not having to deal with it, but I’m sure he wasn’t with Usher because he needed to be with his brothers/mothers up front. Usher SHOULD have been in the back. I’m guessing that’s why he’s not commented on this whole situation as well, out of respect for the family; to distance himself. I will continue to pray for the entire Glover family, and for Tameka to find peace and comfort sooner rather than later.
Adding to say, I think it’s very tacky of the woman behind Tameka to be talking on the phone while following the casket. NO phone call is that damn important. Come on, people!
My heart bleeds for Tameka,Ryan,Kiles heartbroken siblings and extended family & friends. I just don’t agree with pastors when they say a child’s death or anyone’s death is part of God’s plan and he’s in a better place,because no matter how strongly you believe in heaven or not I never see people in a hurry to get there…. God didn’t cause this tragic accident and the truth is there are many of us left wondering what does happen when the lights go out! God bless this family and so many others suffering in mourning over a lost loved one.
my condolences to the family of Kile Glover to young to leave earth may this child rest in peace.
