Kai Jade Gloria was born on June 22, 2026, and passed away on October 4, 2026. Though her time was brief, it was bright. In the quiet ways she watched the world, and in the joy she brought to those nearest to her, Kai left a tenderness that will not be measured by months, but by the love that was felt just by being near her.
Kai was preceded in death by her aunt, Elizabeth Ann Aguirre; her grandfather, Guadalupe Montoya Jr; and her grandfather, Rafael Partida.
She is survived by her parents, Jadah & Kaleb Gloria; and her siblings, Lorenzo, Leonardo, Jhené, Ladilynn Gloria.
Those who knew Kai will remember how she loved playing with her siblings, laughing with her parents, and the delight she found in toys and music. She loved attention and the closeness of family, and she enjoyed walks and hikes—observing everything and everyone as if each moment held something worth noticing.
Kai will be remembered for her beauty, her intelligence, her happiness, and her big heart—an open, generous love that seemed to have room for everyone. In the lives of those who held her, her memory remains: soft as a lullaby, steady as a heartbeat, and lasting in ways words can only begin to name.
