Kayelynn Davis Guptill peacefully returned to her Heavenly Father on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 in Beaverton, Oregon after a courageous seven month battle with cancer. She was born on March 17, 1976 to Brent and Julie Davis.
Kayelynn graduated from Provo High School in 1994 and received an Associate Degree from Utah Valley University before serving a faithful mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Boston, Massachusetts. She graduated from BYU with a Bachelor Degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development. Her dreams came true when she married her prince charming, Travis John Guptill, in the Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple in American Fork, Utah on October 21, 2000. Active in the Church she served in Relief Society and Primary Presidencies.
Since childhood, Kayelynn found sports filled a special spot in her life. She was the pitcher on her fast pitch softball teams and when she and Travis participated in coed softball, it was a great family date. She loved the outdoors and family outings and hikes were a big part of their activities. She enjoyed music and taught guitar for many years giving her students the opportunity to share her joy of music. Her passion of recording her family’s life in photos and blogs gave family and friends the opportunity to follow the adventures and joys of her Forever Family.
Kayelynn’s sweet smile and positive outlook on life left a lasting impression on everyone she came in contact with throughout her life. She will always be remembered as a patient, loving, kind, and faithful daughter of God.
Kayelynn was an amazing and loving mother to her three children, Justin (soon turning 12 years old), Tyler (9 years old), and Allie (3½ years old).
Kayelynn is the sister of Amber (Jeffrey) Wright, Heidi Tuttle, Tawnya (Daniel) McMullin, and Jared (Shannon Hill) Davis and a grand-daughter of Aaron Jolley. Kayelynn was preceded in death by her niece, Megan Wright, and grandparents, David and Deaune Davis, and Dorothy Jolley.
Viewings will be held on Friday, May 2nd from 6:00pm – 8:00pm and on Saturday, May 3rd from 9:00am – 10:30am. The funeral will be held on Saturday, May 3rd at 11:00am.
