Zaria Janae Kiner

With heartfelt sorrow and love, we celebrate the beautiful life of Zaria Janae Kiner, born on April 29, 2005, in Orlando, Florida, to her loving parents, Shaunelia and Leonard Kiner, Jr.

Zaria grew up in Ocala, Florida, where she received her formal education through the Marion County school system. She continued her studies in a work-study program, showcasing her determination and love for learning.

From an early age, Zaria accepted Christ as her Savior and became a faithful member of New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church, where her spiritual growth and love for God flourished.

Zaria’s vibrant spirit shone in her favorite pastimes. She cherished swinging, walking, and being outside, where she could enjoy the beauty of nature. A music lover at heart, she delighted in the simple joys of life, like family car rides during vacations and watching children play with pure admiration. She also loved TV shows, finding comfort and joy in these moments of entertainment.

On November 16, 2024, Zaria peacefully departed this life, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. She will be lovingly remembered by her devoted parents, Leonard and Shaunelia Kiner, Jr., her caring brother, Josiah (Amyiah) Kiner, and her sweet niece, Jia Kiner. She also leaves her grandparents, Rod and Lawanda Kiner, Jr., and Rebecca McMillan, her aunt Tameika Miller, her uncle Stanley (Sha) Miller, and a host of other aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends.

Zaria is now reunited with loved ones who preceded her in death, including her grandfather Stanley Miller, her aunt Tasheika Miller, her great-grandmother Vivienne Williams, and her aunt Barbara Holmes.

Zaria’s life was a light of joy, love, and grace, and her memory will forever live in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
