Lilly Mariah Pike

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Lilly Mariah Pike, age 11, of Three Rivers, Michigan, who passed away on March 30, 2025, in Fulton, Michigan. Lilly was born on July 16, 2013, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Joshua Pike and Destiny Woods.
Lilly was a vibrant 6th grader at Three Rivers Middle School. She was a competitive cheerleader with both Champion Force Cheer and the Three Rivers Middle School Cheer team. Lilly was also a talented band student, playing both the French Horn and trumpet. Lilly was the light of every room she entered. Her humor, kindness, and bubbly personality made her a beloved friend to many, especially her best friend Rylee Scott. She loved her phone and had a passion for making TikTok videos, playing video games with her brother Kartter, and riding hoverboards.
Lilly was a loving daughter, sister, and friend. She cherished the time spent with her family, including riding motorcycles with her Dad, enjoying shopping trips with her Mom, and watching Heartland together. She loved her siblings and her cousins.
