Tragedy struck this weekend when 11-year-old Kile Glover, son of Tameka Raymond and Ryan Glover, was struck by a jet ski in Atlanta. While tubing, Kile was hit by a jet ski being driven by a 38-year-old family friend.

At just 11 years old, doctors pronounced Kile brain dead from the accident.

Kile was born in Atlanta to Tameka and Ryan Glover, who at the time was a clothier. Kile’s father is currently serving as the president of the new black digital network Bounce TV, and before that served as an executive for Peachtree TV, an independent Atlanta television station.

Kile graduated elementary school in May, where he won medals for academic achievement. Kile has a love for art, cooking and academics.

When he was six, his parents divorced, but soon after Usher came into his life when Tameka married him the same year. Like his stepfather Usher, Kile also enjoys singing. Kile often showed off his personality on his YouTube Channel with his show, “The Kile Show.”

In 2010, Tameka wrote a Mother’s Day blog for GlobalGrind where she described Kile as “an artisan.” She continued, “He’s Andy Warhol meets Bill Gates coupled with Justin Bieber and infused with Emeril.”

Kile Glover is the third eldest of Tameka’s five children.

Back in December Kile posted a video to his YouTube channel, TheKileShowIsBack titled “Countdown to Christmas – 7 Days” that garnered over 20,000 views. Check out the video below…
