On July 10, 2026, Kieshayne Kirk Young’s life was tragically cut short in Los Angeles, California, as a result of senseless gun violence. At just 36 years old, Kieshayne was taken from his children, parents, siblings, extended family, and countless friends who loved him deeply. He was so much more than the tragedy that claimed his life—Kieshayne was a devoted father, a beloved son, and the oldest sibling to many younger half-siblings in Belize. His kindness, love, and presence touched everyone who knew him, and his loss has left an immeasurable void in our hearts.
Although Kieshayne passed away far from home, his heart always belonged to Belize. All of his children and the majority of his family are there, waiting to say their final goodbye. Our greatest wish is to bring Kieshayne home to Belize City, so he can be laid to rest surrounded by the people who love him most. The costs of funeral arrangements and transporting Kieshayne from California to Belize have placed a tremendous financial burden on our family during an already devastating time.
We are humbly asking for your support to help cover these expenses and give Kieshayne the dignified farewell he deserves. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help us honor his memory and bring him home. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others. Your prayers, kindness, and support mean more to our family than words can express. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us bring Kieshayne home to his children, his family, and the country he loved.
