Kion Frisoen

Kion Jamaal Frisoen, born September 2, 1989, was a beloved son and cherished member of his Baltimore community. Those who knew Kion remember a young man whose presence—steady, familiar, and kind—left an impression on family and friends. He carried with him the everyday hopes and plans of someone building a life close to home.

Kion’s family and friends recall his laughter, his loyalty, and the small acts of care that revealed his character. Whether in simple moments with loved ones or in the neighborhood where he lived, Kion mattered to people who relied on his friendship and company. His life reflected deep connections to family and community, and the memories shared about him speak to a person who was present for others.

His passing on August 24, 2016, at the age of 26, was met with profound sorrow by those who loved him. While the circumstances of his death are part of the public record, Kion’s family and the people who knew him wish to be remembered first for who he was in life: a son, a friend, and a neighbor whose everyday presence made a difference.

Kion’s memory lives on in the stories his family tells, the photos and messages left for him, and the quiet ways his life touched those around him. May his loved ones find comfort in those memories and in the knowledge that he is remembered with warmth and dignity.
