On September 29th, 2025, our beloved friend Kiana transcended this world, leaving behind a legacy of love, light, and unforgettable memories. Her passing is something words can barely touch, but we hold close the joy she brought into our lives.

Kiana was light. She was strength. She was love. She had a way of making you feel seen, heard, and held. Her laugh was loud and contagious, her hugs were healing, and her presence was magnetic. She was the kind of person who made you feel like you belonged, no matter who you were or where you came from. Kiana carried generations of beauty, resilience, and wisdom. She was proud of who she was, and she inspired us to be proud of ourselves too. She showed up for her people, and now it’s our turn to show up for her.

We’re raising funds to help her family plan a celebration of life that honors Kiana with the dignity, love, and support she deserves. In celebrating Kiana's life, we want to keep her spirit present in our lives by coming together to share memories, stories, and the lasting impressions she left on each of us as the unique and adored human being she was. The ceremony will be held in March 2026 (date TBD).

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps lift the weight off her family’s shoulders during this heartbreaking time. If you’re not able to give, please share this page and keep Kiana’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your support, your love, and for helping us celebrate the life of someone who meant so much to so many.

With love and gratitude,

Iya's Family and Friends
