"I Did It My Way"

Hello, for those who don't know me allow me to introduce myself.

I am Reyniko Michelle Abram, and this is my story...

I was born on a Tuesday, November 21st, 1972, it was the 326 ^th day of the year with only 40 days before the new year. in Denver, Colorado, Denver County, to Joyce Marie Abram and Anthony Quinn Evans.

My mother named me Reyniko because it means beautiful inside and out! Momma and Daddy had Me, YoLonda, and Tene. Then life sent their love on a two-way street, and I have amazing siblings from both parents that I love so much!

Momma then had Thomas, Felicia, and Trelisa. From Daddy, I got AJ, Lawrence, Juanita, and (my twin) Antoninette. To my family, I am Nika, and there is nothing I love more than spending time with family and music.

Everybody knows Nika loves to perform, and if there is a stage, I am on it, giving the band direction on how my impromptu performance will go. I had a fantastic childhood with many memories of lavish parties and fun adventures with family and friends.

I went to the best schools in Denver County for middle and high school. That's where I met most of my lifelong friends and got the nickname "Red."

Education is important therefore I furthered my education by earning an Associate for Business Administration/Entrepreneurship at the Community College of Denver, I didn't stop there I also received my B.A. in Early Childhood Education from Metro State College.

There was nothing I loved in this life more than my journey of motherhood. My children were the LOVES of my life. Joey Lavon is my firstborn son, then came my first daughter TaSharee Meshelle, next my son ReySean DeQuinn and my Daughter Joyclyn Kianne. All of my children are me in many fragments of myself.

I love them all so much, make no mistake they are my legacy of love! My only hope for them is to be happy in whatever journey they choose! And to know that no matter what, I am so proud they chose me to be their mother.

No one would disagree that I am the life of the party, and I have truly lived my life on my own terms. I wouldn't say that I am a rule breaker; YET, I am the exception to any rule. I have done many things in my life and enjoyed many career paths. Fitness, health, and beauty have always really been vital to me. I lived by the model that "when you look good, you feel good, work from the inside out"

In the 90s, I studied and trained to be a female boxer in the Lightweight division with the Johnston Family Company. I also started the first childcare program at the House of Joy Miracle Deliverance church. In the early 2000's I started my own company with the family AtoZ Janitorial service. I never left my love for music and performed on many stages.

I had an adventurous life with love for travel and new experiences. I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, for several years, where I met many wonderful people. I embarked on a new excursion of self-love and self-healing. There I was free to find healing after losing my beloved son Reysean. Peace became a way of life for me, and how to use the earth to heal myself and others.

Returning to Chicago, IL, because it felt like home. I got married and raised my children there; the holidays with my grandchildren were magical and priceless.

The curtain closed on my final act Wednesday, October 26th, 2022. As of now, I am your beloved ancestor!

Proceeded in death by my beloved son Reysean DeQuinn Abram, My father Anthony Quinn Evans Sr.
