Ki'Arri Rayne Winstead

With broken hearts, we announce the tragic passing of our beloved Ki'Arri Rayne Winstead, who left us far too soon on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky. Ki'Arri was born on September 24, 2024, to his loving mother, Amber Winstead, and though his time with us was brief, he touched our hearts in ways words cannot express.

Ki'Arri was a little angel, a miracle baby whose bubbly personality and infectious joy lit up every room he entered. He was a precious bundle of happiness, always calm and content, bringing peace to those around him. He never cried, and his gentle, happy demeanor made him a perfect little guy who was loved deeply by his family.

Ki'Arri had a special bond with his mother, Amber, and sister, Kiyah, and his eyes never left either. He adored them both. A little ham, Ki'Arri loved to pose for pictures, delighting everyone with his adorable smile and wide-eyed wonder.

Though he was only with us for a short time, Ki'Arri loved to watch TV, fascinated by the world around him. His sweet presence will forever be cherished, and the joy he brought to everyone around him will remain in their hearts always.

Ki'Arri will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him. His memory will live on through the love and light he gave to those closest to him.

Rest in peace, sweet Ki'Arri. You were our little angel, and your spirit will forever be with us.

Ki’Arri is preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Carolyn Riley, Geraldine Winstead, and Duke Winstead.

Left to cherish his memory, Ki’Arri is survived by his parents, Amber Winstead, and Tyler Duncan; siblings, Kiyah Winstead, Adrianna Duncan, and Layleiona Duncan; grandparents, Robert “Bob” and Amanda “Missy” Winstead; uncle, Chase Winstead; great-grandfather, Michael Riley; cousin, Patricia Gilpin “Aunt Patti”; numerous great-aunts/uncles; several cousins; and a host of extended family and close friends.
