Kaylee used to make slime a lot, Everytime she would make daddy hold it knowing he didn’t like the way it felt. she would catch you off guard and hand you the messiest one. She loved to play sports, volleyball, softball, but she also loves to sleep if she didn’t have something to do after school she’d sleep. She gets that from her momma all of us girls could sleep! Kaylee loves to dance and loves music, she was always making TikToks with whoever she had over. She would ride the side by side everyday! Blasting music and if the speaker died she’d stop and charge it, she couldn’t ride without music. If it was warm out she’d have Daddy outside throwing the softball or shooting basketball with her. Anytime she could be, she was with Garett, at his house or he was at hers. Kaylee was our girly girl, she started wearing heels to school before middle school. Dresses, heels, make up, just being dressed up and cute for every or even no occasion. She loved to bake and even sold cookies she would make. Anytime I was going somewhere and called to see if she wanted to go she was on the way. They both loved spending time with their family.. We’d all get together and talk the most stuff about any and everyone. We were safe to say anything we thought to each other. And definitely did.

Kaylee is preceded in death by her grandparents, Bobby and Linda Whitehead, Dale Weber, and her aunt, Melissa Weber.
