Willow Guin King, 1, of Kersey, Colorado, was welcomed by Jesus into Heaven on April 24, 2025. She was born on October 1, 2023, in Wray, Colorado, to her loving father, Dillon King.
Our precious angel baby, Willow - one of the sweetest, spunkiest souls to ever walk this earth. Though her time with us was far too short, her spirit was larger than life. From the moment her eyes opened, she was ready to take on the world with energy and joy. Willow had a way of wrapping everyone around her tiny, perfect fingers.
She loved being outside, climbing, and spending time with animals - especially the cows at Grandma and Grandpa's. Water was her happy place, whether it was bath time, shower time (hers or yours), lake days, or even the water bowls - nothing was off-limits. Her first words, fittingly, were "Dadda." She was happiest safe in her Daddy's arms - cuddling, laughing, playing - and their bond was something truly beautiful.
Willow's smile could light up a room. She'd crinkle her little nose or stick out her tongue in that playful way that made everyone laugh. She may have been small, but she had a mighty holler - especially when letting the boys or the dogs know what was what.
She was pure joy. A blessing beyond words. Though we didn't get nearly enough days with her, each one was a precious gift, filled with memories we will cherish forever. You are so loved little one.
Willow is survived by her father, Dillon King, and her mother; siblings, Sondrena, Ashtyn, Carson, Olivia, Addilynn, and Bryson; her bonus mom, Brittany Brehon; and a large loving extended family.
She is preceded in death by her great grandfather, for whom she was named, Bert Guin.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Calvary Chapel of Greeley, 2602 W 27th St, Greeley, CO 80634, on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 11:00am.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the 'Willow Education Fund' for her surviving siblings, in care of Lighthouse Family Mortuary, 2525 W. 16th Street #C, Greeley, CO 80634.
Condolences may be sent to the family at www.LighthouseFamilyLFM.com. Lighthouse Family Mortuary is entrusted with arrangements.
