Alijah was not your average, nine year old, boy.  He wasn't a big fan of sports.  Nor anything remotely outside.  Never a fan of getting messy, he was a man with his mind made up.  Once it was set he stood firm, to the point of being stubborn.  He had a voice that would not be unheard, even when he couldn't speak.  Alijah was smart, not just book smart, he was people smart.  He spent time fixing Play stations, tablets and cell phones.  He would question everything as if he was weighing your words against his vast 9 year old mind, As if he knew the right answer and was testing you!  He wanted to be an Engineer.

Alijah was a GAMER.  His most recent Handel was, the one-handed gamer.  There was not a minute spent that did not somehow lead to or came from a game.  His favorite gamer to watch was gaming with Kev.  His game of choice was Minecraft and Fortnite.  He didn't have a favorite system, he kinda just had to play all of them.  He did have one he just didn't like and that was Xbox.  Lijah loved spending time with his cousins, they'd build Legos, playing Fortnite, watching movies and You Tube videos.  He was always up for building a fort with sheets, lights, and a few pillows.  He was always ready to help and be apart of things.

His Best Friend in life was his baby sister, Serenity.  As toddlers the two would cause havic on many occasions.  From eating all the snacks out of the cabinet, to painting their entire room and half the hallway in paint…..  Red, blue, and green to be precise.  But he truly doted on her Really!  Always there to defend her or order her favorite dress!  He was one of a kind Big Brother.  Who seemed wise beyond his years.

Alijah had a hunger for learning that is unmatched.  He would find something new and fun to learn every day.  Even when his mind and body stopped matching his plans, he was quick to change course, factoring the change so he could accomplish his goal.  His hunger for learning often found Alijah, not agreeing that sleep was something we as people needed.  In fact, in his mind it was optional.

Alijah was Loved! Not just by family but by a community, a small city of people from all places in the world.  His frankness, sharp mind, and witty remarks, along with his smile was enough to win over even the most distant of people.  He wouldn't just be remembered as the boy who passed from cancer.  He will be remembered as the one who changed a small army of people's lives and hearts.

Alijah is survived by his Mother, Galaxy Brown, His Dad, Troy Floyd-Brown, His sister, Serenity Floyd-Brown, Grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Brown and GG Thomas Brown and a host of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins
