 Kiana, you were one of my best friends, and I'm going to miss you terribly. You were the first one to show up to my 30th birthday event last month and helped me to take the best photos with the group. I'm so glad we were able to celebrate together drinking champagne and for ALWAYS having a great time. :)  I'm extremely grateful for our friendship and all the laughter and fun you brought.

Kiana was one of a kind and a hell of a character - more alive than most people. She was super fearless, confident, spunky and ruthless. She said the darndest things and made me laugh incredibly hard. Somehow she was able to convince to me to get a tattoo with her artist Lucy and to get more ear piercings which I got 4 total compared to her 8 in one sitting! I will miss all of our adventures, countless wine wednesday’s, double dates, happy hours, dog park fun with Coco and Alfred , Disneyland, Animal Crossing, our narwhal and shark love, etc. 

Kiana was so much more than just a friend to all of us. To me, she was my birthday twin,  someone who I always sought out at work just to say hi to because there was always a smile and a crazy story and something exciting she wanted to share with me, and a force of change that brightened the whole world. She was always compelling me and anyone else around to join her in every fun idea no matter what it was. You wanted to do things just because she was so enthusiastic about it. 
Everything was always 100% for her and she brought so much joy and such life to her friends, the family she chose. She made time for everyone even when she didn't have it. She wanted to see and do everything she could and it was truly inspiring to see her becoming the exact person she always wanted to be. I wish we could have seen more of all of it. 
I'll miss you and all of the silly, irreverent, boisterous moments you made so memorable and cherish the journey where we grew as friends. I know we'll meet again someday. 

When Kiana and I first met, there was a joke going around that she and I were siblings because our last names were both Nguyen. So starting that day, she would often call me “brother” and I would respond with “sister.” It got to the point where I heard some people at work began thinking that we were ACTUAL brother and sister.  Being an only child, I never called anyone “sister” before.  So this past week, it’s been hard being forced to realize that I really did lose a sister.

Sister, I’ll miss our rant sessions, and the light and energy you brought to my life.  I’ve never met anyone like you before, and for sure, there will never be another that could replace who you were in our lives.  I keep really wishing you would call me on the phone so that I can hear “Brother!” one more time even though I know that won’t happen.  Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life.  Thank you for all the smiles.  Thank you for genuinely caring about us.  Till we meet again. You will forever be my sister in my heart.

This is so unexpected!!
You are in our prayers. ♥️

I had the pleasure and privilege to sit in the office next to and work with Kiana for the last 3+ years at Kia.  She was one of a kind and she added an energy, enthusiasm, and artistic viewpoint to every project.  She was my right hand person during some customer clinics and she traveled with the team for two of the off-site ones held in Parsippany, NJ and Dallas, TX.  Colleagues and customers alike all loved Kiana!  She made everything special, even the authentic Texas Bar-B-Que that we had for lunch in Dallas.  I will miss her every day and my heart goes out to her family and friends.

When Kiana started working within our group at Kia, I thought, wow, what an energetic (understatement), positive person- I  wonder how long this is going to last... Well, it lasted.  And even though we did not always get along, she could always bring a smile to my face, and lighten my mood.  When I married my wife, she was quick to make her feel welcomed, and quickly became friends.  

We am going to really miss you, Kiana - even the heated political conversations we had.  Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life.

Rest easy, my friend.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kiana and my fondest memories of her are still fresh in my mind. Kiana was a pretty and smart girl, who always had a beautiful smile on her face. Pray that Kiana continues to be free spirited in heaven. I will always love and miss you Kiana. Cô Vân

It is with deep sorrow and sympathy to her family and friends that I am beginning to grasp that we will no longer make new memories with Kiana. She made me feel like a longtime friend shortly after joining her Kia family 3 years ago. I will always remember Kiana’s signature laugh, when she shouted out my name in greeting, and when she ran and almost jumped into hugs when we hadn’t seen each other in weeks. She always made me smile that way, and the memories will continue to bring me warmth and smiles.

Kiana, may we meet again—perhaps on a Sunday as we were planning to do just before we lost you. Bye for now, my friend…

Chị Kiana was a wonderful person with a kind soul. I truly cherish my memories that I have of her and believe that she will forever stay in our hearts. I remember being in awe of how beautiful and smart she was. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go to the rest of our family, her friends, and all who loved her. May she rest in peace

My favorite memory of Kiana was when she came over to Bác Cương’s  house with Bác Chau and her brothers Tyler, Michael, and Kevin and we would spend time together when I was kid and they were teenagers and she was such a nice and wonderful cousin I could ever ask for because when ever I needed help with something she would help, and that is the most beautiful and meaningful thing she could do for me in my life. my prayers and condolences go out to Bac Chau, Kevin, Michael, and Tyler
