In Loving Memory of Kiley Collen Francis

January 5, 1988 – September 10, 2025

Kiley Colleen Francis, born on January 5, 1988, in Heber City, Utah, left this world on September 10, 2025, in Herriman, Utah. She was a beacon of light in the lives of everyone who knew her, and her absence will be profoundly felt by family and friends alike.

Kiley was the cherished daughter of Jay and Shelley Francis, who preceded her in death, along with her beloved grandfather, Glenn Evans. She is survived by her precious son, Kane Blackard, who was the center of her world. Kiley's legacy continues through her siblings: her sister, Shay Pappas (Jason, Jax), her brothers Luke (Sara, Viv, Shay), Ross (Megan, Reese, Quinn), and Hayden (Megan, Dakota), all of whom held a special place in her heart.

A proud graduate of Wasatch High School, Kiley was known for her strong will and unwavering determination. She excelled in various roles throughout her career, demonstrating a remarkable work ethic and a zest for life that inspired those around her. Kiley had an innate ability to connect with people, and her kindness made a lasting impact on everyone she met.

Kiley had a rich tapestry of interests that colored her life. She found immense joy in watching her son, Kane, play sports, and her face would light up with pride at every game. Family gatherings were a source of great happiness for her, as she loved spending time outdoors, whether camping, hiking, or simply enjoying nature's beauty. Kiley also had a fondness for fashion, with a particular passion for shoes and clothing that reflected her vibrant personality.

In every way, Kiley was a dedicated mother, sister, and granddaughter. Her love was fierce and unconditional, and she poured her heart into nurturing and supporting her family. She will be remembered not only for her strength and resilience but also for her kind and loving spirit.

As we gather to honor Kiley's life, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the family and friends who offered their love, support, and donations during this challenging time. Your kindness has been a source of comfort and strength for her family.

Kiley Colleen Francis will forever be missed but never forgotten. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched, and we take solace in the memories we shared with her. Rest in peace, Kiley; you will always be loved.

Forever loved. Forever remembered.
