STANTON - Kristen Alisha Graves, born on Jan. 17, 1992, died Apr. 8, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. She was more than a daughter and sister; she was a beacon of light in the lives of all who knew her. Her journey was marked by her unwavering battle with depression, a war she fought with courage and resilience until her untimely passing.
Though she may have lost the battle with her inner demons, her spirit remains eternally alive in the hearts of those she touched. Her kindness, compassion, and gentle soul will forever be remembered by her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
She leaves behind her two beautiful godchildren Lily and Jasmine; her parents Karen and Ron Graves; her sisters Kassie Ramirez and Kourtney Graves; and their families Duane Ramirez, Nicholas Ramirez, and Sarah Graves, and her 'adopted' siblings, Dillon Smith, Samantha Shankles, Jesi Coates, and Hadasa Eckert.
In honor of Kristen's memory, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Every contribution serves as a lifeline to those struggling, offering hope and support in their darkest moments.
Viewing will be on April 11, from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. at Gilbreath Funeral Home in Stanton. Graveside service will be at Evergreen Cemetery in Stanton on Apr. 12, at 11a.m.
For those in need of immediate assistance, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 at 1-800-273TALK (8255). Kristen may be gone, but her legacy of love and resilience will continue to shine brightly, guiding us through the darkest of nights.
