Kristen’s love for aviation touched everyone she met. Her bright smile and endless curiosity brought people together, whether they were seasoned pilots or new to the community. Kristen was always asking questions, eager to learn, and she inspired those around her to keep growing and exploring. Her energy and warmth made every gathering feel special, and her kindness left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

On September 23rd, friends, family, and fellow aviators will gather for a hangar party to remember Kristen and celebrate the joy she brought to our lives. We’ll share stories, laugh, and honor the inspiration she gave us all. It’s a chance to come together, support one another, and keep Kristen’s spirit alive. The event will be filled with memories, laughter, and the spirit of community that Kristen cherished so much.

We’re raising funds to help cover the costs of the event, like food, decorations, and other essentials, so everyone can focus on celebrating Kristen. Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing a story—means so much to everyone who loved Kristen and wants to honor her legacy.
