Kyla Burridge

Kyla was a light to anyone that had the chance to meet her. She loved everyone, regardless of color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, or political party. She had a fire for life and wanted to change the world by advocating for social injustice. Her dream was to become a civil rights attorney. Although it was never fulfilled, Kyla did graduate with her political science degree despite enduring radiation and chemotherapy treatments during her last semester of school. She was a true testament of perseverance. Kyla loved her family, dog, and 2 cats more than anything in this world. She loved spending time playing board games, watching Alabama and New England Patriots football, or just sitting around the dinner table telling stories of the past and laughing with her family. After diagnosis, Kyla was an Ambassador for the Head for the Cure, spoke at the Tri-County Cancer Survivor’s annual event, and wrote and was published about her experience and advocacy for clinical trials for brain cancer research. Our world will never be the same without her in it, but she lives in all of us. “The best within you is the best within me”. We will forever miss our sweet Kyla. In the fall, when the sunflower bloom, be reminded of Kyla and how she lived her life. #belikeKyla
