He loved listening to oldies and Jamaican music, which brought him comfort and joy.
A'Quil was a true family man, devoted wholeheartedly to those he loved. He showed up for everyone without expectation, always placing family time above all else. His greatest passion in life was being a father, a role he embraced with pride, patience and unconditional love.

Though he was not a social person, he was always present and available for family, cherishing the quiet moments together that meant the most to him.
