In the early morning hours of November 2nd, tragedy struck in St. Paul. Around 3:25 a.m., officers responded to a single-car crash at Arlington Ave. E and Prosperity Ave. When they arrived, the vehicle was engulfed in flames. Despite their efforts and the quick response of St. Paul Fire, the passenger — our beloved Keke Gleason (26) — was tragically unable to make it out and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Keke leaves behind four beautiful children — ages 4 year old girl, 1 year old boy, and 6-month-old twin boys. She was a loving and devoted mother who worked tirelessly to provide for her kids and give them the best life possible. Her world revolved around them, and she would do anything to make sure they were cared for and loved.

We are Keke’s Aunt and Cousin, writing this GoFundMe on behalf of our family. Our goal is to help support the care and daily needs of her four children as they adjust to life without their mom. Funds raised will go directly to their grandmother, Nicole Castile, who will be stepping in to provide for and raise them with the same love and dedication that Keke always showed.

Every donation — big or small — will make a difference in helping these children stay supported, clothed, and cared for as they grow. We also welcome prayers, kind words, and sharing this link to help us reach others who may want to help.

Thank you for your love, compassion, and support during this heartbreaking time.

With love,

Keke’s Family
