Kwali A. Shockley Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Kwali Aaron Shockley blessed us with his life on June 2, 2005 to his very young parents DeShanta Campbell and Joshua Shockley. Kwali was raised by his mother in a Christian home, with the guidance of her parents, David and Lorna Campbell. Kwali was silly, always helpful and such a gentleman. He was caring, hilarious and always knew the latest dances. He enjoyed helping his grandparents take care of their pets, and spending time playing video games in the mancave that his grandfather built for him and his cousin. The love of Kwali’s life, other than his mother, was basketball. Since age 5 at Chester Biddy, Proverbs31 it was basketball where he truly shined. He would fall in love and never look back. He would be on the court in the Ville with the big boys waiting for his turn to take a shot, thanks for giving him time to take free throws. It meant a lot to him and to his mother. Memorial Park was his new place to play ball. This desire to play continued on for these 13 years and 11 months. After being the captain of his basketball team this year, Kwali was ready and eager to go to high school to play for Archbishop John Carroll—but God saw him and took him unto Himself and wanted him to play behind Heaven’s gates. Kwali attended two churches, Life in Christ Church and New Hope Missionary Church. He has been a student at Widener Partnership Charter School since kindergarten. He was an honor roll student and had been accepted on a scholarship to Archbishop John Carroll High School this fall. Kwali is now playing in the playoffs—no losses all wins. His life will be remembered and treasured by his mother, DeShanta Campbell, father Joshua Shockley, maternal grandparents, David and Lorna Campbell, paternal grandparents, Viola Lewis and Mike Shockley, Aunts, Gina Minter and Maya Shockley (Shaw), God-Aunt, Alexus “Pooh” Robinson, Uncles, David Campbell 3rd, Solomon and Malcolm Lewis and Jermaine Shockley, Sisters, Shamajah and Shamyjah Shockley, Jenna Pyatt, One brother, Noah Sewell, Two very special cousins, Jasir Cook and Malcolm Lewis Jr., Two best friends Sani Lawler and Randy Baker-Brown, and a host of family and friends.
