Kalea Anne Arguello

Kalea Arguello departed this world on November 10, 2021. Kalea, during her short time on this earth, managed to positively impact the lives of all those around her. From her beloved family, teachers and fellow students, to her friends, her co-workers, and finally to her love of her life, Alexis Rayburn, Kalea's love of life, silly humor and endless devotion to those she loved reflected her uniqueness and resulted in loving bonds that will endure the test of time. Kalea's adoring family remembers her by bringing to memory Kalea's manner of "marching to a drummer that only she could hear. She was a unique, loving partner, daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, niece and friend". They all recall how Kalea was "full of adventure and determined to draw those she loved along for the journey". With both sadness and the joy of being an intimate part of Kalea's life, her mother, father, brothers and sisters acknowledge that "our lives will forever be changed without this amazing, beautiful young woman who loved, and was loved, fully and completely". Even the briefest of Kalea's encounters left a lasting impression on those who Kalea's sprint touched. Rebecca Harkey, Kalea's 9th grade teacher, recalls Kalea as a "freshman in braces with the biggest smile, a flawlessly gorgeous girl wearing athletic shorts and t-shirts", who would "go out of her way to help anyone. A girl with a fiery spirit and so much spunk". Alexis Rayburn, her fiancé, her caregiver and her best friend for eight years, recalls the magnetism between the two which occurred so naturally from the first day they met. The hours they spent in each other's company passed as quickly and easily as proof that their entire lives together was unquestionably their destiny. Even if they sat in silence together, the communication never ceased between the two. Their thoughts, which began as their own, soon became entwined with the others and a wordless expression of comfort, love and affection was spoken without a sound leaving the other's lips. It was a connection neither had previously experienced and gave proof of a love that both knew was not only exclusive to each of them, but will endure in this world and the next. Kale, you have taught us true love, devotion, optimism and strength in the face of adversity. You have been and continue to be an inspiration to us all. Thank you for being part of all of our lives.
