SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. — Heartbreak has struck the Sonoma County community with the passing of Kylee, a young woman whose life was filled with passion, hard work, and love for her family and friends.

Born and raised in Sonoma County, Kylee attended Santa Rosa High School, where she was actively involved in 4-H and FFA, dedicating countless hours to breeding and showing livestock at both state and national levels. Her commitment to agriculture and community involvement earned her respect and admiration from peers and mentors alike.

Outside of her work with 4-H and FFA, Kylee had a zest for life that was evident in the things she loved most. She was deeply connected to her race car and her horse, passions that brought her joy and showcased her adventurous spirit. She also cherished time spent with her niece and nephew, who were a constant source of happiness and pride.

Kylee leaves behind her loving mother and father, her grandparents, her sister and brother-in-law, her niece and nephew, and her boyfriend, Dakota. Her sudden passing has left her family and the wider community devastated, as they now face the painful reality of life without her.

In the midst of this tragedy, a fundraiser has been launched to help support Kylee’s family with funeral costs and the difficult adjustments that lie ahead. Community members are encouraged to contribute in honor of a young woman whose light shone brightly and touched so many lives.

As her family and friends grieve, they ask that Kylee be remembered for the love, energy, and dedication she brought to everything she did. Whether in the show ring, behind the wheel, or spending time with loved ones, she lived with passion and left behind memories that will endure forever.

Kylee’s passing is a devastating loss, but her legacy will live on in the lives she touched, the family she adored, and the community that now mourns her absence.
