Malachi" King Kii" Palmer departed this life far too soon, leaving behind an unwavering love, and a legacy of quiet strength that spoke louder than words. His love was loyal and constant. His humor was subtle, but unforgettable. He could make you laugh without trying.

Malachi was protective, steady, and deeply loyal - his presence alone brought comfort and security to those around him. If you were in his circle, you were covered.

Malachi also embraced his creative side. He enjoyed creating beats, making music, and freestyling — expressing his thoughts and humor through rhythm and lyric. Music was one of the ways he shared his heart with the world. He was also passionate about creating AMVs (animated music videos) blending music and animation to bring his ideas and imagination life. There was depth in his creativity, and those closest to him knew the sound of his passion.

He leaves to cherish his memory a loving mother, Judie Palmer; his father, Kevin Lewis; his brothers, Darnell and Alex; his sisters, Destiny, Mahalia (twin), D'Seana, Marley, and Iris; along with a host of nieces nephews, cousins and friends who will carry his memory forward.

Though his life was tragically cut short, his legacy cannot be erased. Twenty-six years may seem too short, but the measure of a life is not counted only in time – it is measured in love given, protection offered, and impact made. King Kii's memory will live on in the hearts of his family, in the music he created, and in the creativity he shared with the world!

His story will continue in the memories shared at family gatherings, in the music that still echoes and in the quiet strength he modeled for us all.
