It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the loss of Kolbe Lilly, a cherished member of our family who was born on June 19, 2012, and tragically left us on October 23, 2025. Kolbe was the personification of joy, kindness, and warmth.

Kolbe is survived by his loving parents, Diana Leigh and James Lilly, and his caring sisters, Belle Leigh and Ryleigh Herrmann.  He joins in eternal peace his dearly departed sister, Chloe Lilly, and brother, Baxter Lilly. Kolbe's absence will be profoundly felt by all these individuals who made up his supportive and loving family.

Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Kolbe instantly fell in love with him—one of his many great accomplishments, testament to an irresistible charm. His favorite pastime was to sit on a willing lap and shower people with love and affection, a testament to his loving nature.

His fondness for people food and playing ball were just some of his adorable quirks. If you were lucky enough to get close to him, you would receive the warmest lick, an embodiment of unconditional love that Kolbe radiated.

Kolbe was best described as the most loving creature our family has had the privilege to know. His heartfelt lesson was that the smallest among us can have the most significant impact—an idea that we will continually remember and acknowledge.

Kolbe's legacy is one of love, kisses, snuggles, and laughter—a testament to a being that joyfully embraced all the love life had to offer. His departure leaves a void that will never be filled, but the memories he gave us will be cherished forever. Kolbe Lilly, though physically absent, will forever live on in our hearts.
