Kayla Rose Giesbrecht

Our beloved daughter, sister and auntie, Kayla Rose Giesbrecht, was born to us, Thomas and Patricia Koehn Giesbrecht, in Turlock, California, on March 24, 1994. While enjoying the day of July 10, 2013, with her friends, she was suddenly taken from this life in a tragic UTV accident. The Lord gave her to us for just 19 short years. In 1995, Kayla moved with her parents to the hills of central Missouri, near Stover where she spent her growing up years. She was a special bright spot in the home, full of life and energy. She attended the Oak Ridge Country School where she completed her 8 years of education. At the age of 12, she heard the call of God, and yielded herself to the Lord finding a new life in Christ. She was baptized into the Church of God in Christ Mennonite, Oak Ridge Congregation on March 19, 2006, by Minister Will Koehn. Kayla was a person who enjoyed life and lived in the moment. Her family and friends were very important to her, and during her last days expressed delight in the anticipation of seeing them again. She possessed a love of song and singing that was often an inspiration to those around her, spending hours singing with her family and friends. As young Christian, Kayla faced the tests of her day, not always a victor, but with a desire to be saved. It seems that her going to Fountain Run, Kentucky to live with her friend Tonya Miller, and her mother Kelly, was of the hand of God. There, she made many friends and found a job there as a housekeeper in a nursing home. On July 10th, she was enjoying the day sewing with Lindsey, one of her close friends. Towards evening, they went for a ride on an UTV during which an accident took place, and Kayla was suddenly taken from this life and carried by the angels to rest, and await the Glories of Heaven. We appreciate the testimony she left during the last months of her life, in that she allowed God to prepare her for this sudden passing. Left to mourn her passing, and cherish fond memories are her parents, Thomas and Patricia Giesbrecht, one brother Shawn, and wife Cheryl, and one niece Alli Giesbrecht, all of Stover Mo. Also, special friends Tonya, and Kelly Miller, Lyndale, Carolyn, Lindsey, Sheldon, and Tyler Penner. She was preceded in death by a niece, Lexi Allyn. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, July 16th, at the Oak Ridge Mennonite Church in Stover with Ministers Will Koehn and Gary Mininger officiating. Graveside services and interment will follow in the Oak Ridge Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Monday, at the Kidwell-Garber Funeral Home in Versailles. Expressions of sympathy may be left online at www.kidwellgarber.com. Arrangements are under the direction and care of the Kidwell-Garber Funeral Home of Versailles.
