Kayla is described as “one of the greatest people any of us have ever known” by those who knew her and her journey. Her family states that she fought for perfection every minute of her life, from her birth on August 7, 1982 in Lubbock, Texas to her passing on February 16, 2021 in Midland, Texas.

On December 14, 2016, Kayla and Shawn brought two amazing twins into the world, Ella and Quinn. Kayla spent her life organizing, designing, and touching many peoples’ lives with her perfection, her Godly advice, and her motivation to be the best in whatever they were doing.
