Makenzie Lingle

In Loving Memory of Makenzie Lingle It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Makenzie Lingle, who left this world far too soon on April 10, 2026, at the tender age of 19. Born on April 25, 2006, in Dayton, Ohio, Makenzie touched the lives of everyone she met with her warmth, humor, and boundless compassion. Makenzie, affectionately known as Kenzie, was a beacon of light to her family and friends. Her life, though brief, was filled with moments of joy and laughter. She possessed a rare ability to find beauty in the world around her, whether it was through the pages of a book, the vibrant hues of her coloring creations, or the virtual realms of her favorite video games. Her love for nature often led her on adventures outdoors, where she found peace and solace in its embrace. Kenzie was a cherished daughter to her loving parents, Richard and Debra Lingle. Their unwavering love and support were the cornerstones of her life. She shared a special bond with her siblings—her brothers Owen Hicks, Richard Lingle, and Gage Bontempt, and her sister Izabella Lingle—who she loved dearly. Together, they created a tapestry of memories filled with love, laughter, and shared experiences. Though Kenzie is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew her. Her humor was infectious, bringing smiles and laughter to all who were fortunate enough to share in her joy. Kenzie's caring nature was evident in the way she treated others, always with kindness and understanding. She is predeceased by her uncle Dustin, with whom she now rests peacefully. The family finds comfort in knowing they are reunited. Makenzie's passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but her memory will forever be cherished. A private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Makenzie's life, allowing her family and close friends to gather in remembrance of the beautiful soul she was. In these moments of grief, we hold tight to the love that binds us and find solace in the legacy of laughter and kindness she leaves behind. As we bid farewell to our dear Kenzie, let us remember her not for the tragedy of her passing, but for the joy and love she brought into our lives. Though her journey was cut short, her impact will be felt for generations to come. Rest in peace, dear Makenzie. You will forever remain in our hearts.
