SW Atlanta's Willie Watkins Funeral Home to Handle Usher's Stepson's Arrangements

The AJC has reported that Kile Glover, Usher’s stepson has died. Kile was 11 years-old and the son of Tameka Foster. He died Saturday morning, two weeks after a Lake Lanier boating accident left the child critically injured.

Kile was unresponsive when pulled from the lake following the midafternoon crash. He and the teenager were flown to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
