A Call for Support in a Time of Grief and Faith

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” - Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

It is with deep sorrow and unwavering faith that we share the heartbreaking loss of KaRyah Duncan, a beloved daughter, friend, and radiant soul, whose life was tragically taken on October 6, 2025, due to a senseless act of violence.

Born on February 15, 2010, KaRyah brought light, love, and laughter to all who knew her. Her presence was a blessing—full of promise, compassion, and joy. Though her time on earth was far too short, her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and community forever.

Her mother, Ashley Pratt, is now walking through the unimaginable valley of grief. In the midst of this tragedy, Ashley has had to step away from work to grieve, while still trying to care for her five kids and make final arrangements for her precious daughter.

We are prayerfully asking for support to help cover funeral expenses and urgent household needs during this time of mourning. Your generosity—whether through a donation, a prayer, or by sharing this campaign—will help lighten the heavy burdens this family is carrying.

In times of sorrow, we turn to our faith and to one another. We trust in God’s comfort, and we thank each of you for being a vessel of His grace and provision in this family’s time of need.

May KaRyah’s memory be eternal, and may peace surround her loved ones.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Family and Friends of KaRyah Duncan
