Shantiasia N. Tardani's Obituary
Shantiasia Nickole Tardani, aka “T.T.” was born in Muskegon, MI on November 21, 2001. She left us too soon on December 12, 2021 at age 20.
Shantiasia is a beam of light on the darkest of nights. She shines down on all who had the honor to know her presence, and even upon those who did not. She has a warrior spirit, full of passion and drive. Her radiant beauty was much deeper than merely the surface, she deeply cared for everyone she met. She wanted to feed the hungry, house the homeless, and love the unloved. She had natural style, with a little less grace, and was a talented self taught hair stylist from a young age. Her perfectionism drove her to pouring her heart over hours of braiding and crafting handmade lace front wigs. It was no secret that she was going places with her talent.
To know her was to know the best and the realest. She spoke her mind, and loved fiercely with her whole heart. She was emotionally intelligent, a gifted empath, full of compassion. To be loved by her is a privilege, it is to know pure love. She fills us all with laughter even now through our tears.
She is a wild child of God. She loved her family and would do anything to protect them, especially her younger siblings.
And boy could she dance.
Her love radiates through us all, and her life will not go in vain. She left an impression in her short life. We lost her here on Earth but heaven gained an Angel. She is watching over us now, and though we have lost someone so special, we have gained a guardian Angel. We will honor her life every day.
She is a best friend to many, a sister, a daughter, a lover, a niece, a granddaughter and a great-granddaughter, a survivor, a fighter, a true Goddess among us all. She is Goddess Gang forever.
She is survived by her family, her mother Amber Nickole Tardani; her siblings, Tianna Amarea-yh Coleman & Jay’Coeby Rodriguez Coleman; her aunty, Ki D. Tardani; her uncles, Joshua Mathew Tardani & Jacob Allen Tardani; her grandparents, Richard Jacob (Sandra) Tardani II and extended family, Tony Coleman, Shondra Coleman and Jackie Moore.
She is preceded in death by her family Lisa Ann Schadel, Richard Jacob Tardani, Judith Ann Tardani, Mary Ann Schadel.
May your spirit rest in green pastures be lead beside the still waters.
