Kirston Fay passed away peacefully on September 10, 2026, from complications of Type I Diabetes.
Kirston was first diagnosed with Type I Diabetes when she was just 5 years old.
Although doctors once gave her a limited prognosis, Kirston continued to defy theodds. She faced many complications of her illness with remarkable strength
and resilience throughout her life, living far beyond what was medically expected.
Kirston was so much more than her illness. She was a daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend.
Kirston was joyful, kind-hearted, and a gentle soul with a beautiful smile and a laugh that
could light up a room. She was polite, loving, sentimental, and deeply loyal to the
people she cared about, especially her mom, Lisa and her brother, Daniel along with many of her family and friends.
Kirston had a soft spot for beautiful things and enjoyed flowers, the outdoors, the mountains, and most of all, the simple moments that made life special.
Her faith was an important part of her life. Kirston loved her church and treasured her church family.
There was no doubt that she knew she was loved by the Lord, her family and so many more.
The relationships she formed at church brought her comfort, friendship, and a sense of belonging.
Kirston graduated from Pueblo East High School through a program at Pueblo Community College.
She will be remembered by those who knew her for her gentle spirit, her beautiful smile, her laughter, and the love she so freely gave.
Kirston is survived by her mother, Lisa Fay Reinert, her brother and best friend, Daniel Ray Dace, and her dear and special nephew, Daniel Ray Dace, Jr.

Kirston sincerely appreciated all of those who helped her on her life journey.
Her family also extends sincere gratitude to all the medical professionals and emergency service providers who aided in her care throughout her life.
Kirstons life is not defined by the challenges she faced, but by love, laughter, faith and the many memories she leaves behind.
She was so strong and brave through her lifelong journey of diabetes.
Her beautiful smile and her gentle spirit will be remembered by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
She will be deeply missed, forever loved and never forgotten.

I first met thus special girl while she was working on her diploma at PCC. I was impressed with the fight in her, despite her health obstacles at the time. She inspired her healthy peers to persevere without complaining. I am so glad that I was able to know her.
Alva Robinson Sept 20, 2026 10:pm. I am so sorry to hear this about this little girl. I worked for her dad Tom when they lived in Vineland Kirston was a fun loving little girl, always with a smile on her little face. I am deeply sorrowful for her loss. GOD BLESS HER.
I first met Kirston when I moved next door to her and her mom,Lisa.
Kirston was a sweet and beautiful friend,and I was always there for her,when she needed a ride to her dr appointments
I was also there for her as well as a couple neighbors, when her mom wasn’t around.. i remember kirston was going. on a date and she wanted to borrow a pair of nice shoes..she was excited and I was happy for her..not once did I ever see her without a smile ,no matter what she went through in her life..and she always put a smile on my face too.
She was full of life and joy.. i always told her that I loved her and that God loved her even more,she would reply back by saying :I love you too Josetta,even tho my name is JoEtta, it didn’t matter,that was her name for me.. i got sad when she moved away,and always prayed that God would watch over her…now I got sad again when I found out that she went to be with the Lord..; but now that she’s gone,her life has just begun..and I know she’s not in pain or suffering any longer..and I kno she’s got a big smile on her face..love you Kirston and I’ll see you when I get there..
