Navy Fireman (E-3) Jakia S. Cannon, 20, of Baltimore; assigned to the aircraft carrier Enterprise; died Oct. 25 of natural causes while underway in the Persian Gulf.
SHE SANG IN THE CHOIR
USN SEAMAN3 Jakia Sheree Cannon, 20, from Baltimore, MD died in Bahrain due to natural causes. She was a Seaman E-3 Fireman aboard the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) out of Norfolk, VA. Jakia had only been aboard the Enterprise for a little more than a month but she was already singing in the choir. It was an unexpected loss for the Enterprise and her shipmates. Following her death her friends raised money among themselves to send to Jakia’s 14-year-old brother Joshua, a freshman in high school, to help with his future education. Prior to her death she had run track in Italy and sang in the Greater Mount Zion Baptist Church where she was also an usher.

I was deployed with her. She was such a nice person to be around. We sang in the choir together.

She was one of the nicest people I've ever met. We dated while we were both stationed in Great Lakes, IL. I will never forget her smile, it could light up a room. May she rest in peace. You have never been nor will ever be forgotten.
