A natural athlete, Kiba excelled in both baseball and basketball. His first love, however, was basketball. He attended Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools through high school, playing basketball at both Kennedy Junior High and Olympic High School. Kiba went on to Play at Central Piedmont Community College, where he earned a scholarship to Georgia Perimeter College. He won a championship with his team at Georgia Perimeter. Kiba never met a stranger. He always wanted everyone around him to have a good time. An eternal comedian, Kiba loved to play practical jokes and make people laugh, especially his family. The only thing Kiba loved more than basketball was family. Spending time with his niece, nephews and cousins was his joy. He loved family get togethers. He shared a love for Air Jordan sneakers with his brother, Donnell. They always competed to see who had the latest pair. He loved to play video games with Donnell and his friend KT. In Atlanta, he worked for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, where his personality made him a top salesman. Atlanta is also where he met the woman who would capture his heart, Jennifer. At the first meeting, Kiba gave Jennifer his number, but she never called. He ran into her again a week later at the grocery store and something clicked. They married in 2009 and were blessed with one special boy, their dog, Jedi.
