Kambrie was born on September 15, 2008, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to Marbin and Kristian Caves Castillo. In her short-lived life, Kambrie worked at a few fast-food restaurants, but watching her niece and nephew was her favorite job. She was very smart, both in books and mouth. She was a force of nature – a rare combination of sweet and sass, and a radiant energy that could light up the darkest room, to know her was to love her and all her chaos, but that didn’t take away from her bubbliness, she had a smile that felt like sunshine and a laugh that was truly infectious.

Though she was the little sister, the 4th child, Kam was born with the heart of a protector, she often thought she was everybody’s Mama. This caused many arguments between her and her siblings but that was who she was. She had maturity and a care that went far beyond her seventeen years. She was the backbone, the heartbeat, the shoulder you could cry on, and always had a quick-witted remark to keep everyone in line. Kambrie’s zest for life was reflected in everything she did. You could often find her trying to learn all the newest dance trends on tik tok, or getting lost in the pages of a good book losing all track of time or binge-watching all her favorite shows.

The bond she shared with her sister, Abrianna, was unbreakable, they weren’t just siblings, they were best friends who navigated life side-by-side. Kambrie also shared a deep love and connection with Kaden, her boyfriend of three years who held a very special place in her heart. She was a bright light in a world that can sometimes feel dim. While Kambrie’s time with us was far too short, the impact of her love and the memory of her vibrant spirit will remain with us forever, she taught us how to love deeply, laugh loudly, and care fiercely. Some people shine so brightly that even after they are gone, the light remains.

She was preceded in death by two life-long childhood friends, Devon Gage Wilson and Brayden Brock Saulters.
