KayLee Dutton

KayLee Joan Dutton, 17, loving daughter, granddaughter, sister, and friend, passed away January 17, 2025, in Cedar City, Utah. Kaylee was Born June 4, 2007, also in Cedar City, to Kimberlee Hunter.

From the second KayLee was born, she was her mom’s best friend. As a young mother Kimberlee had to quickly learn how to balance motherhood and life, and KayLee was along for the ride.

As a little girl KayLee spent lots of time with her grandma and Grandpa Hunter where she developed a close life long relationship with them. This is also when she developed her love for dirt bikes. She spent lots of time with them pine-nut picking and arrowhead hunting.

KayLee was 4 when her mom met Tyrel Bundy, and he quickly became her first father figure. Together they loved to fish, go shooting, and bunny bashing. Her time with him was a crucial and important part of who she became. She loved her time at Bundy Reunions with Grandpa Frosty, and taking care of all the animals with Grandma Lori and Grandpa Kev. They are memories she held dear to her heart.

At 15, Waylon Dutton became a part of KayLee’s life and it was an instant bond. They had a special relationship filled with playful banter, nurturing and love. They loved dirt bike rides, truck rides, and rough housing. Waylon fulfilled KayLees dream of having the same last name September 4, 2024.

KayLee was a quick-witted spitfire with a sense of humor that could fill an entire room with laughter. She had a determined and adventurous soul. If she got her mind set on something, she was sure to achieve it. From dirt bikes, bull riding, to playing football, welding to graduating high school early, she could do it all.

KayLee was a special girl, she had the biggest heart of gold and loved deeply. There’s no way to capture in words how amazing she was. There will be a hole in the hearts of anyone that knew and loved her for the rest of their lives. Fly high baby girl.
