Kaylee Louise Boham

It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of our beloved Kaylee Louise Boham, who left this world far too soon on March 6, 2026, at the tender age of 18. Born in the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon, on April 13, 2007, Kaylee's life, though brief, was filled with beauty, creativity, and an abundance of love. Kaylee was the cherished daughter of Robert Boham and Marie Bennett, and brought joy and laughter into the lives of her siblings, Devin, Autumn, Anastasia, Layton, Felicity, Adrianna, and her step-sister Serena. She was a loving aunt to several nieces and nephews, who adored her playful spirit and caring nature. Her family, including her grandpa Dale Sr, grandma Barb, and grandma Maria, along with her uncles Dale Jr and Daniel, and aunt Dianna, will forever hold her in their hearts. She is now reunited in peace with her beloved Nana Shery, grandpas Terry, Clint, and Larry, and grandma Shirley. Kaylee was a radiant soul whose presence lit up every room she entered. Her employment at Taco Bell was not just a job, but a stage where her cheerful personality and infectious smile brightened the days of many customers and colleagues alike. Her friends and coworkers will remember her for her kindness, her laughter, and the genuine connections she formed with everyone around her. Art was at the very core of Kaylee's being. Through her drawings and paintings, she expressed the world as she saw it – full of color, emotion, and imagination. Her voice, angelic and powerful, often filled spaces with melodies that lingered long after the song had ended. Kaylee also had a keen eye for photography, capturing life's fleeting moments with a sensitivity and perspective that defined her unique view of the world. Her creative spirit was both inspiring and contagious, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege to witness it. Kaylee was not only imaginative and creative but also incredibly brave and bright. She possessed a loving heart that embraced everyone she met, and her energy was a beacon of hope and joy to those around her. Her courage and strength in facing life's challenges were a testament to her remarkable character. In a heartfelt message from her sister Adrianna, she reflects on Kaylee's boundless talents and the world that simply wasn't ready for such a brilliant light. Adrianna beautifully expresses the hope of one day reuniting with Kaylee, whose spirit, no doubt, continues to shine brightly in the afterlife. As we gather to celebrate Kaylee's life, we remember the joy she brought into our lives and the legacy of love and creativity she leaves behind. Though her time with us was short, her impact was profound. Kaylee will forever be missed, but her spirit will remain alive in the hearts of those who loved her. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Kaylee's honor to support art programs for young people, fostering the same passion and creativity that she so passionately embodied. Rest in peace, dear Kaylee. You are gone from our sight but never from our hearts.
