Karlee Malik Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cannon-Byrd Funeral Home & Memorial Park - Fountain Inn on Oct. 23, 2025.
Karlee Noel Malik, 33, passed away surrounded by love. A beautiful, free-spirited soul, Karlee lived life with passion, strength, and heart. She was known for her infectious laughter, and the way she made everyone feel seen and accepted just as they were.
Karlee loved being outside in nature and dancing barefoot through life with a spirit that couldn't be tamed. She was never afraid to speak up when it came to standing up for others, especially in the face of injustice.
Her dog, Misfit, was always faithfully by her side.
Karlee is survived by her children, Kizzie Malik and Miles Malik; her mother, Tara Rader, and father, Chris Malik; her sisters, Kayla Malik, Kendel Rader, and Kelsey Bagwell; her grandparents, Betty and Frank Malik; her nieces, Delilah Bagwell, Sunshine Malik, Gemma Malik, and Layla Roberts; her nephews, Dawson Bagwell and Sherwood Malik; step father Brian Rader and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who were deeply impacted by her presence.
She is preceded in death by her beloved son, Kyle Malik, and her maternal grandparents, Billie and Joseph Mrozek.
Karlee will be remembered for her strength, her humor, her wild heart, and the way she made people feel truly loved. Her presence in this world was a gift. Her light, her laughter, and her wild heart will never be forgotten.
"Never above you, never below you, always beside you."
