Keriona E'niya Gore-Stuckey

Keriona E'niya Gore-Stuckey was born March 21, 2009, and departed this life Sunday, January 26, 2025. She was a 9th grade student at Enka high school, where she was a very proud member of the Air Force JROTC.

She was preceded in death by her great-grandmother Minnie Pearl Ferguson, and her great-grandfather Carey Stuckey.

Keriona leaves behind a loving family to cherish her memory: her mother Tasha Gore of Asheville, father Christopher Stuckey of Rembert, SC, brothers Tabis Gore and Zamari Gore-Stuckey of Asheville, sisters Kaliyah Gore and Tezia Gore of Asheville, niece Kior Gore of Asheville, grandmothers Reva Breazeale of Asheville and Jeanette Stuckey of Rembert, SC, aunts Tierra Gore, Crystal Weston, and Keanti Wise of Asheville, Jessica Holloman, Sharnetta Stuckey, and Latoya Stuckey of Charlotte, and Kenisha Ervin and Tracie Ervin of Columbia, SC. Keriona also held a very special bond with cousins Clement Davidson and Davion Gipson who were like her brothers, and cousin Shaneiqua Ferguson who was like an aunt.

We also would like to give a special thank you to her close friends Chanel Jeter, Monahe Motley, Deniya Miller, Zanya Greene, Brisiah Fate, Aalayah Young-Carson, Graceyn Garnett, Hanna Kirshner, Trianne Holloway, Amiya Porter, Destyni Young, Tyana Shannon, Nasiah Roy, Ashley Feimister, Qaycie Martin, and Miyanna Harper.
