The Shakeva Dixon Obituary

The news of Keva’s passing has struck the Duke University Hospital area with a “heartbreaking” intensity. Keva was a “vibrant and beautiful” 27-year-old whose “meaning and warmth” provided the foundation for a life focused on her three young girls. She had moved to Durham seeking a “fresh start” and a “bright light” for her family’s future. To lose such a “vibrant spirit”—a woman remembered by her cousin, ShaRena Steeple, as a “genuine, kindred spirit” who “wanted to see everybody succeed”—is a reality that has left the community searching for comfort in the midst of “indescribable” sorrow.

According to the Durham Police Department, officers responded to the 2800 block of Crest Street after 10 p.m., where they discovered the “profoundly sad” aftermath of a domestic-related shooting. While her three daughters were home and were fortunately “unharmed” physically, the emotional weight of this “nightmare” is a burden no child should carry. As her family navigates this “heartbreaking loss,” they are leaning on the “vibrant and beautiful” memories of a mother who “wanted to be there for all three of her girls” with a “bright heart.”

A “Vibrant Heart” and Devoted Mother

Shakeva Dixon’s 27 years were a masterclass in “vibrant beauty” and sincere connection. Those who had the “privilege of knowing her” describe a woman with a “bright heart”—someone who was a source of constant “meaning and warmth” and worked tirelessly to provide a “vibrant spirit” for her children. She reminded us all of the importance of an “unwavering spirit” and the value of a courageous, loving heart. Her absence is a heartache that will be felt throughout Durham and Goldsboro for years to come, yet her legacy of “vibrant spirit” remains a guiding light for her three daughters.

The “outpouring of support” following the news is a direct reflection of the love Keva sowed during her journey. She was a “beacon of light” who taught those around her that the true measure of a person is found in the “meaning and warmth” they bring to their home. Her story is one of “vibrant beauty” and “quiet and powerful” resilience—a legacy that will continue to guide her family as they honor her memory and find peace in the “vibrant and beautiful” life she led before her “profoundly sad” departure.
