Kiana Garrard, Camden, AR — The community is mourning the loss of Kiana Garrard, who passed away on May 13, 2022, at the young age of 22. Kiana’s battle with Stage 5 Lupus, congestive heart failure, and her need for a kidney transplant marked her final years, but she was remembered for her vibrant health before 2020.
Her mother, Shantay Monique Marks-Johnson, and her younger brother, Tyler, are deeply affected by her passing. The family has already faced significant tragedies, with Kiana’s father dying in an accident in 2006 and her grandmother being killed while working as a flagger on a road construction site in 2003. These compounded losses have left Shantay and Tyler struggling to cope emotionally and financially.
To give Kiana the memorial she deserves, Shantay has organized a fundraiser titled "Assist in Funding Kiana’s Farewell" with a goal of $2,000. Currently, they are seeking the first donations to cover the high costs associated with funeral services. Shantay is reaching out to the community for support, hoping to honor Kiana’s memory and say their last goodbyes respectfully.
The Camden community has shown solidarity in times of grief, and this fundraiser is an opportunity for everyone to come together and support Shantay and Tyler during this challenging time.
