Kile Glover, RIP

Kile Glover with his stepfather Usher Raymond

Two weeks after a tragic boating accident on Lake Lanier, Kile Glover, 11, has passed away.

Kile’s mother is Tameka Foster, who was formerly married to R&B star Usher Raymond — who helped raise Kile for a number of years.  Tameka Foster is currently married to Ryan Glover, a television executive in Atlanta.

We regret the unimaginable pain this family has endured since the accident on July 6th, when Kile and an unnamed friend were riding an inner-tube being drawn by a pontoon boat on Lake Lanier.  A friend of the family riding a Jet Ski struck Kile, causing the fatal blow.

In breaking the official news on Saturday, July 21st, Georgia DNR Public Affairs Coordinator Melissa Cummings expressed what we are all feeling:

“The Georgia DNR, Wildlife Resources Division is saddened to report that sources have confirmed that the 11 year old victim of the incident on Lake Lanier of July 6, 2012 has passed away.  Our thoughts are with the family at this time.  The investigation into the incident continues.”

According to AJC.com, Willie A. Watkins funeral home in Atlanta confirmed Saturday it was handling funeral arrangements for 11-year-old Kile Glover.  We refer you to them for funeral arrangements.

Once again, our hearts and prayers go out to Kile’s family.
