Knifesa Holden

Knifesa Samantha Holden, born on August 10, 1979, in the Bronx, NY, passed away leaving behind a legacy of warmth, love, and unwavering devotion in her beloved Jacksonville, FL. A dedicated Certified Nurse Assistant at Riverwood, Knifesa spent over 20 years nurturing others with compassion, tenderness, and a servant's heart. Her commitment to caring for people reflected her deep love for both her work and her family, and she was known for her ability to light up any room she entered.

A cherished daughter of Mary Parker, Knifesa was a loyal sister to Ronald Holden Jr., Shakema Gail, and Angela Fraser, and a supportive in-law to Donna Holden, Rasheem Fraser Sr., and Robin Gayle. She was a loving partner to Ronald Jones, and a devoted mother and source of strength to her son Marc Parker. She was also a treasured aunt to her nieces and nephews: Alexis Green, Serenity Fraser, Rasheem Fraser Jr., Anthony Fraser, Samir Fraser, A'nyla Gayle, and Ja'siya Gayle. Knifesa fostered bonds that stood the test of time-always ready to give her last to ensure the well-being of others.

Beyond her professional and familial roles, Knifesa was the life of the party, bringing joy and laughter wherever she went. She had a heart for family and made it her mission to make sure everyone was taken care of. Her gift for listening, comforting, and bringing people together made her not only a dedicated nurse, but a true confidante and friend to many. Her memory will continue to live on through the countless lives she touched and the stories shared by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Knifesa was preceded in death by her father, Ronald Holden, and her daughter, Karizma Parker.
