The Locust Grove community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Aleia Kuhn, a cherished young resident whose life was cut tragically short in a recent accident. Her sudden passing has sent waves of grief through her family, friends, and the many lives she touched with her warmth and radiant spirit.

Aleia’s death has left a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her best. Described by loved ones as vibrant, joyful, and deeply compassionate, Aleia was known for her unwavering faith, kind heart, and the powerful connections she built with everyone around her. Her presence lit up every room she entered, and her absence is now deeply felt in homes, classrooms, and across the tight-knit community of Locust Grove.

To her parents, Aleia was more than a daughter—she was their “backbone and heart.” In an emotional tribute, her mother shared the pain of losing someone so special, writing, “My sweetest baby girl is now my forever angel… She was too good for this earth but I’m too selfish to not want her back. She loved so big.”

Aleia was also a devoted sister, a loyal friend, and a young woman of unwavering faith. She expressed her love for Jesus in her everyday actions, and that spiritual light left a lasting impression on those around her. She was deeply loved by her boyfriend, Carter Spence, who is now among those facing unimaginable grief.

The Kuhn family asks for continued prayers for Christopher Kuhn, Aleia’s father, and for her brothers Corben and Colter, as they navigate the sorrow of losing someone who meant so much. They also extend their gratitude for the support and outpouring of love from the community.

Funeral arrangements for Aleia Kuhn will be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, the Locust Grove community continues to remember her not for the tragedy, but for the joy and grace she brought into the world—a young life remembered, honored, and deeply missed.
