Kaytlynn Grace Cargill

The amazing Kaytlynn Grace Cargill, 14, was born on January 18, 2003 in Austin Texas to Trisha Hill and Beau Cargill. She grew up surrounded by the people who loved her the most in a small community in Central Texas. As a kid she loved all things furry, scaley, and crawly including Hank, Bear, Scrappy and Montie; she loved all living creatures big or small, except for spiders, no spiders! She was a natural born athlete and enjoyed softball, volleyball, basketball, soccer and golf (especially if she could drive the cart). Being outside was her passion. She could be found fishin’ with Pops, hiking (but only if she had a cool hiking stick), running, and flying her drone. Spending summers with her Mimi and Pops in Carlsbad, New Mexico, she made many friends and loved playing outside on dirt bikes, her Ground Force Drifter and Pocket Rocket. While visiting with her Nonnie and PawPaw, she enjoyed creek fishing, riding four-wheelers and being on the farm playing with her cousins.

Kaytlynn was always an explorer and an inquiring learner. She loved to take things apart and put them back together to make something new. She made a drum set that she spent hours assembling and playing. As a critical thinker she loved doing puzzles, she challenged everyone to games, and she usually won. She attended Central Junior High where she played sports, was active in band playing the trumpet, and spread her love of life to friends around her. Homework, was not her favorite, unless it was practicing her trumpet as loud and proud as she could.

Kaytlynn was an optimist, with a heart bigger than anyone will ever know. Her energy and spirit shone through and was infectious to everyone around her. She was always looking to protect her little sister Paislea, even though they drove each other crazy, and no matter what, she took the side of the underdog. She was a giver and volunteered with the Carlsbad Assistance League, taking the time to make sure that others were always taken care of. She and her mother were baptised together on Mother’s Day in 2006 at the First United Methodist church in La Grange, Texas.

During her young life, she was fortunate to have traveled to places all over the USA and internationally including Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. She had no fear; she was incredibly brave and took risks in trying new things like surfing and zip lining. Kaytlynn loved being a season pass holder to Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor. She got so excited to go with her family and friends.

She gained her angel wings on June 21, 2017. She is survived by her mother Trisha West, step-dad Keith West and her little sister, PaiPai (Paislea West), father Beau Cargill, Mimi and Pops (Lewis and Donna Hill), Nonnie and PawPaw (Jerry and Brenda Cargill), step grandmother Edith Shaklee,great grandmothers, Frances Cearley and Beulah “Grace” Hill, her TT (Tiffany Hill) and Uncle Savio D’mello, aunts Sybil Cargill and Penny Ramirez and a host of cousins, step brothers and sisters, other relatives, friends, and animals. She is preceded in death by her namesakes Robert “Lynn” Mitchell and Ilona “Kay” Providence, her step grandmother Sharon West and a number of great grandparents and other relatives that welcomed her into heaven with open arms to care for and love her until we are all together again.
