Born on August 1, 1974, Kristen spent her early childhood in Kirkwood, Pennsylvania, before making Florida her lifelong home. She was the beloved daughter of Jay C. Koch and the late Sherry Koch.
Kristen was a proud graduate of the University of South Florida and built a successful career in pharmaceutical sales. Known for her intelligence, confidence, and bold approach to life, she touched many lives both professionally and personally.
Above all, Kristen was a devoted mother to her two daughters, Kylee and Nyah, who were the center of her world. She is also survived by her father, Jay C. Koch, and her brothers, Jay Koch and William Koch.
Kristen’s kindness, strength, and love for her family will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
A private memorial will be held by the family. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to Family of Christ Lutheran Church, 16190 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, Tampa, FL 33647 https://familyofchrist.org/ .
