Dear Friends and Community,

We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Kayla Kieko Black, a beloved daughter to Bill and Gail Black, sister to Brandon Black, and friend of many, who tragically lost her life in a skydiving accident alongside her instructor, Devrey LaRiccia in Perris, CA on Friday, Aug 2nd. Kayla was a vibrant and loving 28 year old woman whose spirit touched everyone she met. Her infectious smile and boundless enthusiasm for life brought joy to her family, friends, and all who knew her.

Kayla was deeply cherished by her family and friends, who will forever remember her kindness, warmth, and unwavering support. In this time of immense sorrow, we find solace in knowing that Kayla's legacy will live on through her selfless decision to be an organ donor. Her generosity will provide hope and new beginnings for many individuals and families in need.

We have created this GoFundMe campaign to support Kayla's family with funeral expenses and other financial burdens during this difficult time. A portion of the donations above the financial burdens incurred will be slated for charities Kayla cared deeply about. Your contributions, thoughts, and prayers are greatly appreciated as we come together to honor Kayla's memory and celebrate her life.

Thank you for your support and for helping us keep Kayla’s spirit alive in the hearts of many.
