Kiana Bowers Obituary

BOWERS Kiana Marie Ke'Alohi Bowers, beloved daughter, sister, niece and grand daughter. Born on June 16, 1988 and joined our Lord on January 17, 2008.

Vibrant and artistic in every aspect of life, she crossed oceans with relationships and brought together family and friends. She brought peace and love to every person she touched. When she walked into a room her infectious smile lit up with brightness. She was truly loved by all that knew her. Beautiful heart, beautiful personality and a beautiful person with a beautiful love for life, she will always be missed by all that knew her and will never ever be forgotten. She walked the line like it was a mile wide and lived life to the fullest every moment.

Kiana, Your memory will live in our hearts forever. We had so much fun in high school and you always lit up everyone with your attitude.
May the road rise up to meet you.

may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I did not know Kiana very well, but the time I spent with her, she struck me as a very thoughtful and creative girl. She loved music, had great taste in music, and seemed very passionate about the music she enjoyed. She also liked to drink lemonade - she threw some in my face once on accident. :o) To Kiana's family and friends: I am so sorry for this terrible loss. I hope that somehow you are able to find peace and comfort.
