Kaliah Simone Graves

Kaliah Simone Graves, 21, of Louisville, passed from this life on October 24, 2026. Born May 25, 2005, Kaliah was a bright star — full of life, light, and love — who touched the soul of everyone she met.

Kaliah was the beloved daughter of Cindy Gallivan and Patrick Alexander, a cherished granddaughter of Sharon Wall, Kenneth and Christine Gallivan and a devoted sister to Patrick, Darius, Janae, Ahtiana, and Autumn. Devoted aunt to Nylah, Delilah, and Jayvion. She was a loving niece to Jill and a treasured cousin to Madeline and William. Even her dog JJ knew the warmth of her heart.

Kaliah dedicated her life to caring for others. She worked as a Patient Care Assistant at Jewish Hospital, where she cared for patients with compassion every single day, and she was an aspiring nursing student at JCTC, working toward the future she dreamed of. Caring for people wasn't just her work — it was who she was.

Smart, kind, funny, and outgoing, Kaliah lived her life exactly the way she wanted to, every single day. She loved her family fiercely and was surrounded by too many friends to name — each one better for having known her. Her smile could light a room, and her spirit will live on in everyone whose life she touched.

We know God is watching over our angel now.

Relatives and friends may visit Lombardo Funeral Home (Northtown Chapel), 885 Niagara Falls Blvd, Amherst, NY on Thursday, November 5th from 1:00 - 7:00 pm.
