Hi, my name is Abbey.

I am the oldest sibling, there are 7 of us. For about 23 years, I was the oldest of 3. Me, Mana and Alika.

Alika was the baby of the 3 from his childhood to adulthood (our parents divorced then our dad remarried and had 4 wonderful little siblings).

We (Alika, my son, my bf and I) had just come back from a vacation with our dad in Colorado. We drove for almost 24 hours, we had taken shifts. We had so much fun, spending time with our younger siblings, and some sightseeing again from when Alika and I were young kids.

It was a beautiful sunny day Friday(04/07/2023), we went to Garden of the Gods (look it up, amazing views). Alika his goofy self, started to model for us. We were trying to get his America's Next Top Model application ready.

Tragically Alika lost his life on Easter. The day he returned, from his trip to visit his dad, he was killed at the residence he was staying. In an attempt to move out, an altercation with his landlord/roommate. He was fatally shot during an argument with his roommate.

Alika leaves behind 2 beautiful, caring, and kind children. Children that miss their father dearly. The entire Rose family is devasted by the loss of a father, brother, and son. Our hearts are broken and will be for some time.

We are looking for donations for his children. For their future education, medical, dental, and any other needs that their father would have provided in the future.

This is a sad time for the Rose family. Memorial services are being planned. Any contributions to his children are greatly appreciated.

On behalf of the Rose family. Thank you.
