Funds will go to assist in arrangements for the tragic loss of Kaytlyn Jean Hastreiter.

Kaytlyn Jean Hastreiter, age 24, passed away unexpectedly in her home in Hutchinson, Minnesota, on Tuesday, March 18th.

Kaytlyn was born on April 2nd, 2000, to Matt and Angela Hastreiter in Fridley, Minnesota. Kaytlyn was a fun-loving person. She loved spending time with her family and friends. She especially loved spending time with her younger brother, Josiah. Kaytlyn and Josiah had a wonderful relationship. As they hit adulthood, they became very close. Kaytlyn was always there to protect her brother.

Kaytlyn enjoyed spending time outdoors, going on nature walks, sitting by a campfire, and just communing with nature. She also enjoyed spending time with her friends, going to the movies, going to the mall, or just sitting around and listening to some good music while they hung out and talked.

Kaytlyn was on her way back to her faith at the time of her passing. She hadn't always been strong in her faith. However, due to some current events, she was on a path back to her faith.

Kaytlyn was always a fun-loving soul who could put a smile on your face even when times got tough. She was always there to provide encouraging words to someone who was feeling down. Kaytlyn will be greatly missed by many friends and family.
