Kristen Alexandra "Alex" Kahle

Kristen Kahle Obituary

Kristen Alexandra Kahle wanted her epitaph to read: "She made the sun stand still."

That's what she wrote on a questionnaire for the Carousel Queen pageant.

"I hope to have an impact so great, that it reaches beyond my community farther than anything I could ever imagine, even the sun," she wrote.

She was scheduled to represent her school, Porter Ridge High, in the pageant next week.

Kahle, 17, died Sunday when she lost control of her car on a two-lane road near her home in Monroe. She was on her way home from a friend's house, driving about 65 mph as she entered a curve, lost control and struck a tree, N.C. Highway Patrol officials said.

The speed limit on Medlin Road about a mile south of Monroe is 45 miles per hour.

She was alone in the car and wearing a seat belt. The wreck happened around 12:45 a.m. officials said.

Kahle, who went by Alex, had an infectious laugh and always wore a big smile, said Jordan Griffin, one of Kahle's best friends.

Griffin, Kahle and three others -- Lauren Little, Hailey Helms and Kayla Morton -- had been best friends since preschool. They called their group "the fivesome." They attended different high schools, but remained close.

"We were always laughing," Griffin said.

She remembers a video they made late one night while cooking fries.

"We were making a reality show like `Survivor' and interviewing each other," Griffin said. They called it "French Fry Island."

Kahle loved to celebrate "Kids Day" with pool parties at her house; it's a calendar holiday only she seemed to know about, Griffin said.

Porter Ridge High held a candlelit vigil at the school Sunday night. Students painted the giant rocks in front of the campus as a tribute. They drew Spider-Man, because she always liked him, said cheerleading coach Catie Brown. Kahle had kept a Spider-Man punching bag in her room since she was a kid, friends said.

Kahle, a senior, had been accepted to Western Carolina University and Charleston Southern University in Charleston, friends said.

She was active in school as a cheerleader, student council member and honor roll student, said Porter Ridge Principal Sam Basden.

"If you're lucky, you get two or three kids like her in your career," Basden said. "She was one of those ray of sunshine children."

I never got the chance to know you, but from everything that I've heard about you, you were a wonderful person and touched many peoples hearts with your presence and attitude. My teacher Mrs. Helms had coached you when you were cheer leading at Porter Ridge High and told us all about you and how wonderful you are! Just by hearing about your story gave me hope and taught me that "life is short, so be happy" God bless y'all.

February 26, 2016

I never knew you personally, but my teacher and your best friend, Katie Hoff, have told us a lot about you. You are greatly missed by the ones that love you the most. I pray that your family and friends have found or yet to find the inner peace they need to cope with the wonderful and beautiful young women they have lost at such a young age. RIP Angel Alex. You are loved beyond what words can describe. ♥♥♥

Seven years later, still think about you everyday. Never going to meet another cheer coach quite like you. A lot has changed since I was an 11 year old kid looking up to the pretty varsity cheerleader; now I am that senior varsity cheerleader. Thanks for inspiring me, Alex. You are the one who told me to stay strong, never give up, and reach for the sun. Rest in peace.

I never knew you personally but you've changed my life and made a difference. Yesterday your mom came to my school (Monroe High) and shared your story with us. It gave me a different outlook on everything. VIP for a VIP is an amazing program. While your mom was speaking I couldn't stop crying. I'm sorry it had to end that way..no matter what you'll still live in the hearts of your loved ones. rest easy beautiful.. and thank you for changing my life. God bless you and your family.

April 8, 2013

I heard about your story while watching an old sermon from Elevation Church in the Dominate series. I am praying for your family...I know this accident was years ago, but you are in my heart and on my mind. I know you are in a better place.

I know it's been years since you left us but I was just thinking about you today and wanted to let you know that you will never be forgotten. I still remember sitting beside you in English class and how everytime we were told to find a partner we would quickly pull our desk together. You will forever be in my heart.

I met her when I was 8, only a couple days before she died. I'm now 14 and always have her in my head. I always say "never give up." <3

June 24, 2011

My husband and I moved to Monroe 3 years ago. We see a yellow bow and a sign that has this young lady's name on it each day as we leave our home on Medlin Rd. We often wondered who she was. Now we know that she was a special young lady that is loved by many, some who knew her and some who did not. May she "Rest In Peace" knowing that she did leave her legacy.
May God continue to bless her family and friends. Rest assure that you will see her again one day.

Dear Dick & Pat,
I worked for you at Carol's years ago. I no longer live in the Charlotte area & just found out about your loss today. I can remember you bringing Alex with you to the store. She was a little girl then. I remember her sitting up on the counter with that contagious smile. From reading the other posts I can see that Alex grew up to be an amazing young woman & touched many people's lives. I am so very sorry to hear of your loss.

Alex there is not a day that i dont think about you. You changed my life Kristen Alexandra Kahle.
You know, the first time I saw you I looked at my brother's face and knew he wanted to be with you. I dont know what it was about you but that very day I felt peaceful about you and him. You were the only person I found good enough for my brother. I would tell him time and time again to date you, but I think he thought he didnt deserve such a beautiful girl. I dont know anymore, but Alex I love you and love the dreams we have together...
Watch over us!
I love you!<3

It has been nine months yesterday since I last saw you. I know you will never get to read this but I wanted to let you know that you made those 16 years of friendship the best of my life! No one could ever fill the gap that is left in my heart for you! You truely were the best freind I could ever ask for, our bond was one that only sisters share. My family can never be whole without you in it! I love and miss you so much every day. There is almost not a day that doesn't go by that I don't cry for you. Please watch over us all, continue to be my yellow butterfly, and I will see you.....until then my sun will always stand still! I love you:) Jordan

Alex was an amazing young lady. She changed my life and I am so lucky to have been apart of her short, but power life. I remember the first time I met Alex. It was May of 2005. I went up to her and asked her if she knew my brother and her exact words were "OH PATTY McFATTY. I LOVE THAT KID". From that moment I knew with her crazy personality, beautiful smile, and big heart, that I would grow to love her. She always had a way of making me feel better even when I was having the worst day. I turely miss Alex and I can't wait till the day I get to see her again. May she rest in peace.

Glenda just called me tonight and told me about Alex. I know it's been several years since I worked for you at Hallmark, but I always thought a lot of you both. I remember her coming in the store a few times. Time sure does fly. She was beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words at a time like this. I am praying for you both.

Dear Dick and Pat:

You are often in my thoughts and prayers and I will continue to be "with" you in prayer during this time of grieving and loss.

May you, in the midst of your grief, also sense, in new and fresh ways, God's care and love for you both. "He will never leave you nor forsake you..." (Hebrews 13:5)

Love,
Paul

Mr. and Mrs. Kahle,
I am so sorry for your great loss. You created a wonderful young lady and she will never be forgotten.Alex Kahle was one of the greatest people in my life. Whenever I was feeling down she would always find a way to make me fall to the ground laughing. Just the way she would go out of her way to make someone else happy would make me smile. I hope you will be comforted knowing she is in heaven looking over you all everyday. We will miss her everyday in cheerleading practice. If yall ever need anything just let us at Porter Ridge know and I am sure the whole school will help. You all have and will be in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

I truly miss you and can't wait till we meet again

Oh my God I miss alex so much. We have grown up since kindergarden and have been in the same classes until we parted ways in high school. I totally miss her. I didn't find out until the day after her funeral when it was in the paper. I want to send my deepest condolenses to the family and say that i am so sorry for missing her funeral but i jusy found out a liitle too late. Alex did not deserve to die she is such a radient girl and brought life wherever she went. I want to leave you all with my prayers an my favorite quote because it expresses her so deeply; Those who bring sunshine to others cannot keep it from themselves =>

Pat and Dick,
Tim and I think about you guys so much. Alex was such a beautiful and sweet young lady. As we stood and watched the Christmas parade, it seemed so strange not to see and hear her cheering and yeling out to us as PR passed. Jordan, Hailey Luke and Lauren
have a lot of funny and memoriable "Alex" stories. We still laugh about the girls riding go-carts and getting covered in mud.
Please remember that our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Come join us on Wednesday night sometime.

Pat,
I remember when Alex was probably 3 or 4 years old and my mom would watch her so that you and Dick could go out. She used to show me how she could do push-ups (at three years old). We would just laugh at her the whole night.You guys really raised a special daughter. Just being at her funeral and hearing what everyone had to say about her makes you want to be a better person. I think about you guys every day.

I am so sorry to hear about your Angel. She was a loving girl. I do not know the pain that you are feeling. But I know the feeling of loss an parent. God call home another Angel. God open his arms wide open and said to Alex come home my child come home. When Alex got to the gates of heaven God said to her welcome home my child welcome home. God be with you and your family. Just memory all the good times. God will help you get thur this sad time.

"HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST"
GOD SAW ALEX WAS GETTING TRIED, AND A CURE WAS NOT TO BE; SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND ALEX AND WHISPERED,"COME HOME WITH ME," WITH TEARFUL EYES WE WATCH ALEX SUFFER AND FADE AWAY.
ALTOUGH WE LOVED ALEX DEEPLY. WE COULD NOT MAKE ALEX STAY. A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING, HARD WORKING HANDS AT REST, GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US;
HE ONLY TAKE THE BEST.

GOD BE WITH YOU ALL AND WE ALL LOVE YOU AND WILL BE PRAY FOR YOU.

ALEX YOUR WORK HEAR ON EARTH IS DONE. BUT YOUR WORK IN HEAVEN JUST STARTED. GO REST NOW ALEX AND WALK THE STREET OF GOLD AND WE ALL WILL BE UP THERE WITH YOU AND ALL OUR LOVES ONE SOME DAY.

ALEX WE ALL LOVE YOU AND WE WILL MISS YOU SO.

AN ANGEL AT REST.

I didn't know your daughter personally. What a read really makes her seem like a great person. I just lost my brother two months ago Tuesday about the same way. I just want you to know that I am really thinking about your family and some of us really do know what your going through.
"It's not the life in your years, it's the years in your life" There is no doubt in my mind that she had very full years.

there are no words to explain or help understand such a senseless loss.. i hope you can find strength in your faith and know that there is another angel in heaven watching over all her friends and family.. while i did not know alex all the entries in this book are amazing and i am sure she was a wonderful person.. perhaps she did make a lasting impression on those around her. having a daughter at piedmont high i will look at every day with her a blessing knowing that we are never sure of another day. i will, because of alex, appreciate her more and try not to sweat the little things and remember what is really important. find comfort in what your daughter accomplished in her very short life.. god bless

I heard about your daughter through my son...he and his family attend Elevation. I have been reading the comments and looking at the pictures. (Wow, what a happy, beautiful young lady!) Alex looks to have a contagious smile and a glowing that comes only from within. I'm looking forward to meeting her in heaven. Love and prayers.

I was visiting my niece, Taylor, the weekend of your devastating loss. It was apparent by the reaction in the community that she meant so much to so many people. The pictures of her are proof that you raised a happy, outgoing, positive child and you should be proud. I always remember something that I read after I lost my parents..."Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". May God bless and comfort your family and all who are feeling the pain of this terrible loss.

Dick & Pat,
The service last night was a moving testimony to a truly remarkable young woman. When I read of all she accomplished in her short life, I am not surprised.
She showed that smile and affection for others at such a young age. I can still see her stretching to reach the cash register keys at Gift Basket and always think of her whenever I hear the old song Butterfly Kisses. Your are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. and Mrs. Kahle:
We did not know your daughter but we do know young people whose lives she touched. You should be so proud as she was truly an Angel here and is now an Angel in heaven. What a wonderful young woman you raised and may the Lord bless you in this time and help you get through this. I truly believe he will not give us more than we can handle. We will remember you daily in our prayers and may that be of some comfort.
God Bless you,

I am soooo sorry for your loss. She was truly one of the best students anyone could ask for! Thank you for the way you raised her; your family values taught her to be very respectful of herself and others. She was such a bright and shining star :) I know you are PROUD of her and the impact she has made on so many people's lives. Thank you for sharing your beautiful young lady with us!! My thoughts and prayers are with you in these days and many more to follow! Amy Yermack ... Monroe High School

I'll never forget the day Alex walked into the bandroom at Monroe Middle School and asked if she could be in the band. We couldn't say "no" to her, so she joined the band at Monroe Middle playing the mallets. She was a great student and always a joy to teach! She will be missed greatly, but never forgotten! You are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. I hope that the power of love and prayer is at least of some comfort to you as you progress through the days, weeks, and months to come.

Dearest Pat & Dick,
I can't get the 2 of you off my mind and my heart aches for your loss. Alex is an angel now and when she was with you. I pray you both find peace in knowing this. The love and guidance you dedicated to Alex reflected in every part of her life. My whole family is praying for you.

We hope our daughter Reagan(your friend) is as much a great girl as you are. I know we'll meet again, but until then, We Love You.

Alex was truly a ray of sunshine. I knew her through Kayla (my niece). I had the pleasure of meeting you as I sat with Connie at one of the games this year. We were blessed to get to spend some time with Alex at Disney this spring when she went with Kayla. She was sweet to my children and they loved to watch her cheer. She will be missed by everyone who knew her and you are forever in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

To alex and her family, alex was always the happiest person. Whenever i was sad at school she always would give me the biggest hug and make me happy and say something to make me laugh. Whenever i stayed at your house i always remembered one specific thing, and it was the bbq sauce next to her bed ! Alex was always the one to be a role model and i was so lucky to have her as a friend. She is missed by everyone and also loved.


i love you alex kahle,
and also the kahle family <3

wow, where do i even begin? i can't beleve that just a little over a month ago i was sitting with you at the piedmont and monroe football game. Alex was such an amazing and inspirational person to be around. she always had a smile on her face and there was never a time that i was around her and she wasn't in the best mood. I never saw Alex get mad over anything. But even though she is no longer with us, she stays in our hearts. and her family is always in my prayers. Stay strong.

I've never met your daughter but it sounds as if she was perfect in every way. My heart hurts to know that she was so well known and she touched a lot of people in just that little of time. Look at it as if her work here was done she SHINED for everyone who knew her an for those who didn't. Like myself! I'll miss you Alex for the hard work you put fourth to make the world see you for who you really are! My love and heart goes out to your family and you rest in peace forever......AMEN
