I am Carolyn Gaddy-Perry and I want to welcome you to the website of my only begotten son, Captain Keymarthanese Rahim Rashad-Ali, formally Kenneth Le'Vondris Gaddy, also affectionately known as "DoDo." DoDo was "a unique individual who enjoyed everyday life."

My son has always been my hero, my inspiration, my companion, my confidant, my very best friend and the love of my life.

On June 21, 2004 my son was killed instantly due to a fatal motorcycle accident. Having lived only 34 years, his life was prosperous and he lived it in excellent health. I decided to have a website built in his honor for all that he had become – to himself, to me, to his children, to his family and to those that knew him.

I hope that those of you who are visiting this site will enjoy learning of this outstanding captain and wonderful person. You will see that he enjoyed his life and lived one of integrity, compassion, and courage that enriched, empowered and encouraged others to follow his example.

If DoDo were here today, he would be the first to tell you "HE TRIED." He would also tell you…
