Kaesen Zander Elliott

Kaesen gained his angel wings on the night of Christmas 2023. He was born on December 1, 2018 to his loving parents Shawndra Mundinger and Ronnie L. Elliott. In just 5 short years he touched many lives. He made us laugh with his silliness, cheer when he mastered a new task, and cry our eyes out with his passing.  
 
Kaesen was a fun loving, outgoing, carefree, and spunky little boy that loved life and lived it to the fullest. He enjoyed playing outside, riding his bike, and loved singing. His favorite song was “Last Night” by Morgan Wallen.
