Kc Heaton Obituary
When KC was a senior in high school, he and his family moved to St. George, Utah where his family still resides. KC went on an LDS mission to Billings Montana, where he made many close lifelong friends.
KC married the love of his life, Kayla Volksen, on August 9, 2013, in the St. George, Utah Temple. They loved to travel together, especially to Disneyland. He and Kayla have two beautiful children, whom he loved dearly, Paige Diane and Ethan Christopher. He loved his job in the Emergency Department at the hospital and was part of a wonderful work family.
KC battled brain cancer for six years. He had multiple surgeries, rounds of chemo, radiation, and hospital stays, all while being so positive and brave. KC is survived by his wife, Kayla Heaton; his children, Paige and Ethan Heaton; parents, Rex and Pam Merrell Heaton; siblings: Merrell (Emily) Heaton, Robin (Colin) Meeks; and multiple nieces and nephews. To know KC was to love him and to be loved by him.
We want to thank all the doctors and nurses who have helped KC throughout the years, his work family at the Emergency Department at St. George Regional Medical Center, and the outpouring of love, and support given by them to KC and his family.

KC was my second mission companion and was one of my favorites. I remember his desire to work hard and share with everyone. He was a genuinely good person and I'm proud to have known him.

I was blessed to meet KC in the ED while I worked there for two years. He was always so kind and patient with me as I learned the ways of the ER and would answer any questions I had! On a slow night, he quoted little rascals and I had no idea what he was talking about, it blew his mind that I had never seen little rascals so we sat and watched the movie as he laughed and quoted the movie he whole time! I am forever grateful to have known KC for that short amount of time. He was a light in the ED who cared so much about other people and helping them as much as he could.
