Kyleigh Addison was born on June 9, 1995 in Minneapolis, MN. She grew up in Minnesota and Arizona. She moved back to Minnesota in 2008, graduated from Prior Lake High School in 2013 and later Aveda Institute with a focus in Esthiology.
Kyleigh was such a beautiful baby all the way into adulthood. Her outgoing personality and smile drew people to her. She knew how to work a room with her sassy spark. You couldn’t help but not notice her. Her silliness was infectious. She made friends easily and cared for those who touched her heart.
Kyleigh was an expressively creative and artistic person. She enjoyed all things related to music. Whether it was singing, writing songs and poetry, or developing lyrics to music tracks. She also loved drawing, theater, and throwing dance parties with her younger cousins and sister.
She had modeling stints starting at 4 years old. You could see her in a LifeTouch marketing campaign, floating in a pool for a Target inner tube, or a Mervyn’s or Manhattan Toys ad. She also participated in Prior Lake’s Next Top Model and was a finalist in the inaugural season her senior year of high school.
Kyleigh loved being a mother to her littles, enjoying lots of play time, trips to the zoo and parks. She brought her sense of playfulness to life which is evident in her kids today. Sleepovers at Grandma and Grandpa’s were always highlights. Swimming in Auntie Kellie and Uncle Sparky’s pool were adventures on their own. Warner Family gatherings brought an element of joy, lots of laughter, boundless energy, and next-level silliness whenever Ky and the kiddos were there.
Kyleigh is survived by her children, Mateo (6) and Dahlia (5); mother, Lindsay Warner (Jarod Nickles); father, Vilaphong Sirivong; sister Kendyl; grandmother, Linda Warner; grandmother, Vankham Sirivong; aunts, Kellie Klein (Mark) and Casey Rike (Tony); uncle, Phetanong Sirivong; and many other relatives and friends. She will be deeply missed.
She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Greg Warner; uncle, Phommavong Sirivong; and her great uncle, Houmpheng Keopraseut.
