With shattered hearts and profound sorrow, we announce the sudden and tragic passing of our beloved sister, daughter, and aunt, Kat Sirico, on August 1st. Her departure has left a void so deep, it is difficult to put into words. We share this devastating news with gentle care and immense love, knowing how many lives Kat touched in her time with us.
Kat’s passing was the result of a tragic accident—an unthinkable loss that has forever changed our family and those who knew and loved her. Even in the heaviness of this moment, we find comfort in knowing that in her final days, Kat was immersed in joy. She was fully engaged in work that filled her spirit and surrounded by a place and people that brought her peace and happiness. She left this world doing what she loved, embraced by purpose and light—a gift we will carry in our hearts as we mourn her.
To know Kat was to be drawn in by her warmth, her humor, and her radiant spirit. She had an uncanny ability to make people feel seen, to lift the energy in a room with a single smile, and to offer support without ever being asked. Her creativity, curiosity, and boundless empathy defined who she was, and these qualities shone brightly in all the roles she held in life—as a loving daughter, a fiercely loyal sister, a proud aunt, and a friend to so many.
She lived with a rare kind of sincerity and kindness that was both comforting and inspiring. Whether she was offering a shoulder to lean on, diving into a new creative project, or simply laughing with loved ones over something silly, Kat embodied the essence of a life well-lived and deeply felt.
At this time, no arrangements have been made, and we ask for your patience as our family navigates this heartbreaking chapter. What we ask most of all is that you keep Kat in your thoughts, and hold our family close in your hearts. Grief is a journey we now find ourselves walking together, and knowing we are surrounded by a community of love and support brings solace in the midst of so much sorrow.
As we reflect on Kat’s beautiful life, we encourage everyone to remember her in the ways she made you feel—seen, heard, loved. Let us carry her legacy forward by being a little more present, a little more kind, and a little more willing to see beauty in the everyday. Because that is how Kat lived. And that is how we will keep her alive in memory.
We love you forever, Kat. Your light remains with us, always.
