It is incredible that already pass two year of her lost. Our familly loved her so much, and miss her all the time. She will lived in our lives for ever.

You my love brought smiles to everyone around you! Lit up any dark room. I pray for strength for your family and friends. I miss you dearly and I know heaven gained an Angel, life is so fragile and speaking about you in the past tense breaks my heart. My mind is still trying to process that you are gone! I’ll keep you alive in my broken heart with the memories we shared and the love we had for each other. Until we meet again sweet lady. 

Will always remember her smile and positive attitude..my condolences to her family she will be missed and remembered fondly.  SSG Guzman 

Klynn was the most amazing, energetic woman I have ever met. Everytime I looked forward to visiting FL to see friends, Klynn was in the list of people I needed to see. She made up the beautiful trio with me and Jermaine. And her time in Wisconsin lead me to one of my now closest friends. In Chicago, we shared the biggest laughs. I still remember her practically screaming in the street like she always does. Klynn being Klynn. She accepted my crazy and that's about all we can ask for from our friends. If I meowed, she meowed back without skipping beat. Klynn, I'll miss you now and forever. 

Kaylynn, We love you so much. I miss you so much already and still can't believe that you have passed. Many great memories from New Venture, high school graduation, fair, In-N-Out, summer hang outs to just driving around town and venting to each other. You always cheered up the room when you walked in with your bright, cheerful and happy smile. Now God has gained another angel and you will be missed by so many here on earth. You will always be remembered. Rest Easy lil sis.

Words can't express my hurt hearing of your passing.  All I could think of was how Beautiful you were both inside and out.  I remember meeting you for the first time and thinking how professional you were, ensuring sponsors were comfortable during the Yellow Ribbon events.  You would gather us in a circle and brief with a big smile and stopped by each table to ensure we had everything we needed.  You were a Beautiful Soul and now a Beautiful Angel.

Kaylynn was such an amazing soul and beautiful person. She was a big sister to me and I know will continue to be with me as I hold her in my heart. I love you Kaylynn and I know you’re looking down on us all. You are an angel up above now and I miss you everyday! Love, your lil sis Ashley 

Mannnn. KAylynn…….. can’t you see that smile… such a wonderful soul. God takes the angels he needs for it’s new regimen. We will miss you and I know you will be among all angels next to him.. we will never forget you. I hope you are in a better place. Love your life and the time we spend.

I’m gonna miss you. I love you sister❤️

I met Kaylynn at WhirlyBall and from day one she was the sweetest, most caring person!  She made sure everybody’s birthday was remembered and even remembered how much I liked Guadetama and got me some for my bday.  When Packer season came around I happened to have tickets to a Packers Raiders game and I asked if she would be interested in going and obviously she was! It was so great to get to experience a game at Lambeau with her (plus the added bonus of her favorite team)!  It was such a fun day and I will cherish that memory .  The boogers and I will miss you BooBoo!! 

I first met Kaylynn when I was volunteering at MDAS. Oh man from the start she was so bubbly, silly, and considerate. Our friendship definitely grew from all the carpool karaoke‘s we had. Her sunshine and personality were so infectious, even if you were having the worst day of your life she could make you smile and laugh. Even though we did not talk every day I could definitely call her a good friend. She even came to my graduation and made me feel loved, accomplished, and proud. I cannot fully put into words how much she impacted my life or how much I am going to miss the bright, wholesome, goofy, nerdy, loving, accepting, and just absolute ray of sunshine individual she was. 

Ella era especial, era unica, siempre con una sonrisa,se ganó en poco tiempo el amor de nuestra familia.por siempre te recordaremos y estarás en nuestros corazones...MARTINEZ FAMILY

I am so sorry to hear of Kaylynn's passing. I made her acquaintance as the girlfriend (at the time) of Duncan when he was working in Milwaukee.  She attended our work events (and even planned a few) and immediately became a fan favorite. I remember her beaming smile as she showed off her engagement ring and excitement sharing the proposal story and upcoming wedding plans.  The memories shared are a testament to a what a truly special genuine person she was.  

Here I was, new to Milwaukee and my car battery had died right in front of the elevator to my new apartment. By God’s grace, Kaylynn came off the elevator and immediately offered to help jump my battery with her brand new car!! She brought her car over and tried, but it didn’t work. I needed a new battery. She immediately offered to drive me to Walmart to exchange batteries. She had literally known me for all of 10 minutes, but offered to help. I truly have no idea what I would’ve done if she didn’t come along and help me that day. She saved me. I found out she and Duncan lived a couple doors down from me and that began the start of a friendship. I had to show her the fall activities here in WI since she’s never had Fall before so we carved pumpkins and I showed her how to build a snowman in our courtyard. She was a light and always made me smile when I was with her. She was an amazing person and I’ll miss her chats so much!! 

It’s hard for me to really put into words exactly how important Kaylynn’s existence was in my life. Me and her weren’t close. It’s probably even better to call us more acquaintances than friends. I knew her as the girlfriend/wife of my friend Duncan. However whenever I was around her company, social butterfly didn’t begin to define her. She was able to talk to everyone and bring joy everywhere. I only met her a handful of times and not one of them was she not smiling. As if she was born with a permanent smile. That was what it was like to be in her presence. I didn’t realize till now how powerful her influences were.
--------------------------------------
Duncan and Kaylynn once visited Minneapolis. Duncan invited me along and Kaylynn invited two of her friends. Through this interaction one of Kaylynn’s friends became one of the best people I’ve ever met in my entire life. Someone who ended up helping me get through the most unexpected darkest moments I’ve ever experienced. I don’t know where or who I would be had I never met them. And that was thanks in *gigantic* part to the *smallest* amount of Kaylynn’s company.
-------------------------
And I guess that’s what I want to say. You didn’t need to be around Kaylynn long for her aura to envelope you. For her to make your life infinitely better. She was a snowball effect. A butterfly effect. A domino effect. She could be the smallest rock tossed into the lake that is your life and the ripples from the splash would just expand bigger and bigger. I knew her for less than 1% of her time with Duncan, and I won’t be able to forget her. And I think that’s special.

Kaylynn added so much laughter and love to our family.  My favorite memory is when she introduced family olympics to our yearly 4th of July family celebration.  That year I discovered our family was a bunch of naysayers (me included) saying we didn't want to do silly relay races, balloon toss and host of other games!  But Kaylynn was persistent .... she organized and created all the games by herself (with help from Duncan).  All I can say is that day was so much fun.  The silliness, the laughter, remembering how inept we all were, the competitiveness that was brought out in each of us :). It was wonderful!  This was the spirit she brought to our family.  She was smiles and light.  We love you Kaylnn!!!  Kisses and Hugs!

I remember the first time I met Kaylynn.    It was at a family outing and when we were introduced she gave me this HUGE hug.   I thought... "this girl is trying too hard..."  But when the second hug was that big, then the third, then every hug since... you figured out pretty soon that was just who she was.   A huge spirit with huge hugs.   I am going to miss them, and family outings will be a little less warm from now on.   But I'll always think of her hugs.      

She attended BLC with me at camp Blanding in Florida and such a bright soul with a big heart and an amazing smile.  This really hurts so much but I know she is still smiling.  Rest in heaving queen .

The first time I met Sgt Atoy was the activation to hurricane Irma. Even though we had just met she treated me as if she had always known me. She found a green stone during the the cleanup and called it her heart of tafiti. I laughed but the next drill she still had it so I borrowed it and carved it out to look like it was really the actual rock from Moana. I saw her like a year and a half later and she still kept it on her. It was stupid but it meant a lot that she kept it the way she did. That was just Atoy though she cherished the little things. I often wonder how long she continued to wear it.

Kaylynn, Duncan, and the rest of us had an amazing time in Chicago and Milwaukee! It's a sad time to see a friend taken too soon, but she will always remain in my memories as the fun-loving person she always has been. My condolences to her and her family. Rest in peace Kaylynn.

We were the Charlie’s Angels of the 260th! 

We met in RSP waiting to ship out to Basic Training. You left before me so I didn't think I'd run into again for quite some time. Low and behold, I ended up staying longer than planned at Basic Training and you ran me down! Haha it was so great to see not just a familiar face but a fun spirited friend like you. You gave me a feeling of being home when I had been away from family. Thank you for being so lively, sweet and fun. Rest in peace battle, 'Til Valhalla. 

I'm very luck to have a vivid memory of the bear hug she gave me before leaving for California and the "love you's" we exchanged last time I saw her.  My most special memory is Kaylynn and Duncan coming to stay during the shut down. Her love, positivity, and ability to uplift  were lifesaving. She was so giving and her love was something that made you feel special.  Not to mention the fun she was.....or the great cook.  She was a natural caregiver and a kind soul. ❤️

So many amazing memories with you. From deep conversations to making fun of each other. But my favorite would have to be, when I realized why you always called me "Hay Hay" I thought it was just because of my last name. But it turns out it's that goofy bird from Moana. 🤣🤣. You truely will never ever be forgotten. 143. 

 One of my favorite memories is the love she had for our family.  Her enthusiasm setting up our family games on the for the Fourth of July.  Her cooking Mexican night. We will always love and miss you.    Peace Kaylyn  Love, Nonie

Kaylynn was a good spirit. I remember working with her when Whirlyball first opened, she was excited to see I came in because i was second guessing my decision at working there. As time went on I noticed she was crazy for holidays. She would get upset when we used to steal the candy canes. Always say wait until the holiday is over to take them or im going to kick your butts. The day she left to Florida for a better job opportunity everyone was sad. She gave out gifts and hugs before leaving too. She will be missed. Glad i had a chance to meet/work with someone like her.

Although I haven't seen Kaylynn since high school, I remember her as being one of the brightest, most kind humans I've ever met. She was nice to everyone and had a way of making people laugh. Her smile was contagious and I'm grateful to have witnessed her light. Sending my condolences to her family and everyone who was close to her.

Kaylynn will always be remembered as a beautiful soul. A woman that made everyone around her happy with her loving personality. 💚

Open the gates of Heaven for this angel.   

I love you so much your spirit will always live on! I’m at ease knowing your in a better place with the many loved ones we’ve lost prior! And I want to tell you thank you for always keeping in touch over the years. I miss you more than you’ll ever know, and I’ll always be talking with you, love you cousin ❤️

To my friend - your spirit lives on. I am blessed to have met you and had you apart of my life. You joy and natural happiness will continue to live in us throughout these coming days. We love and miss you battle - Rest In Peace Queen
