On January 7, 2025, the Kerkstra family experienced an unimaginable loss—their sweet baby boy Kamden Jay, who brought light and joy to everyone he met, gained his angel wings. He was a beloved son to Kara and Dustin and a cherished little brother to Kenley and big brother to Kaiya.

Although his time on Earth was far too short, he touched countless hearts in the 3 years with us, with his adorable smile, his pure spirit, and his ability to bring warmth to every room he entered. He was Daddy’s “mini-me” and Mama’s precious boy, always surrounded by the love of his family.

In this time of immense grief, we want to come together as a community to support the Kerkstra family. Losing a child is an unimaginable and a profound loss and no family should have to navigate this heartache alone. The funds raised will help ease the financial burden of medical expenses, funeral costs, and allow Kara, Dustin, Kenley, and Kaiya the space to grieve without added stress.

The Kerkstras are a family filled with love and faith. They know their little boy is now safe in God’s arms, but the void left behind is immeasurable. Please consider donating, sharing this page, and lifting this beautiful family up in your prayers as they navigate the difficult days ahead.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Let’s surround the Kerkstras with love and support during this heartbreaking time.
