About Ciarra
Ciarra was 18 years young when she left this world and what a light she was. She graduated high school early and went to college to become an EMT. She wanted to help people and make a difference in people's lives. She got her certification to work on an ambulance but unfortunately never got the chance to. She was a donor and helped 2 people see again and impacted so many other people that got the honor of meeting her.Her life was cut short but that girl lived life to the fullest. She did more in her 18 years than most in their 50s and 60s can say they did. She loved to travel and try new things. She was a big foodie and tried just about every food at least once. She had so much energy and was always up for an adventure no matter how big or small. She was always the first one in the truck ready to go. At the age of 4 we took her to see the ocean for the first time. That became her first of many passions. I remember her twirling in the waves, wide eyed and so blissfully happy. She had a sparkle in her eye that day that came back every time she was in the ocean. She always wanted to move to a bay city and I don't doubt she would have made it to one, one day.Her next found passion was gymnastics. She went to classes for years and was always flipping upside down. She later joined her high school cheer squad her freshman year. She was naturally good at it and had amazing body control. She loved the outdoors. Hiking, camping, riding, boating, anything outside. She really loved to snowboard and even became an instructor at a ski resort. We are glad she found a love for snowboarding because she wasn't fond of cold weather. Ciarra loved to ride dirt bikes and motorcycles. She was a small girl being 5'3" and 115 lbs but still rode a Honda 450r dirt bike and a Honda CBR600RR motorcycle. They were bigger than she was but she still made it happen.Lake Powell was one of her favorite places and she loved to surf behind our wake boat. We went there every year and she also enjoyed cliff jumping and tubing behind the boat with her siblings.Ciarra has a big, beautiful, blended family of 4 parents and 3 siblings. Ciarra saw the beauty in life and always saw life as an adventure. She loved fiercely, lived fearlessly, laughed unapologetically and truly loved life. She had trials like everyone does but she never let it slow her down. She was outgoing, fun, silly, loving and was a true light in this world that still continues to burn bright through all the lives she changed.
