Kaylin May Stanley, 17, of Southbury CT, a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend to so many, passed away unexpectedly on July 3rd, 2024.

She was born in New Milford, CT on August 9th to her parents Mark and Rebekah Stanley and was a lifelong Southbury resident.

Kaylin was a loving, sweet, generous and creative child with a personality like no other. Her infectious smile, with those amazingly beautiful dimples, lit every room she entered. Amongst all her wonderful qualities, interests, and hobbies, she was most proud to be the big sister to her brother Tyler. Despite the occasional sibling disagreements, all she wanted every day was to take care of, laugh with, and create an amazing bond with him. That bond was unmatched and will always be embedded in our hearts. He was and will always be her best bud.

As a recent graduate from Pomperaug High School, Kaylin was an extremely talented artist, avid softball player, enjoyed every moment outdoors in the sun, and had a deep love of enhancing her life by listening to music of all genres. Spending time with her friends and family is what truly brought her the most joy of all. Besides her parents, Kaylin is survived by her brother Tyler, her maternal grandmother Karen Linden and husband Ron, her uncle Robert Michael Jr. and wife Ruth, her uncle Casey Michael and wife Jade, her aunt Erica Rugan and husband John, her cousins Daniel Michael, Ella Michael and Elyssa Alysandratos, and her pets Tippy & Bella. No words can express how greatly Kaylin will be missed by her family and amazing group of friends who were always there for her. May you rest in peace sweet baby girl, you will forever be in our prayers and hearts.
