Kaya Huling

Kaya Lynn Huling was born November 14, 2002 in Rapid City, South Dakota, the daughter of Heather Nelson and Robby Huling. She and her mother made their home in Rapid City . She was dedicated to Christ at Bethel Assembly of God Church in Rapid City.

In December 2003, they moved to Phoenix, Arizona. While in Phoenix, they made their home with Tyler Watson.

Kaya and her mother were very close, spending every waking moment together, and lived each day as it came their way. Kaya was energetic, fun loving, and so full of life. She talked all the time in her own little language. In her short time, she touched many many lives. She loved being outside, swimming, and playing with her babies and toys. She loved playing with other little kids, running, and laughing with them. Her favorite games were peek-a-boo and patty-cake, and just recently she learned how to blow kisses.

She will be truly missed by all.

Grateful for having shared her life include her mother Heather Nelson of Phoenix, Arizona; her father Robby Huling of Box Elder; her maternal grandparents Diana Williams and Dennis Nelson of Philip; paternal grandfather Rick Huling of Box Elder; maternal great-grandparents Lavern and Dianne Terkildsen of Wall, and Lester and Frances Nelson of Lemmon, South Dakota; paternal great-grandmother Eloise Huling of Rapid City; paternal great-grandparents Maria and Robert Houser of Sioux Falls; several aunts and uncles, Heath and Kim Kennedy of Aurora, Colorado, Zane Nelson and Dane Nelson, both of Philip, Rick Huling of Miami, Florida, Reed, Randy and Rachel Huling, all of Box Elder; a special friend Tyler Watson of Phoenix, Arizona; and a host of other relatives and friends.
