Kira Jean Perryman's Obituary
Kira Jean Perryman, 21 years old, of Rio Linda, CA, was fully healed and went into the arms of Jesus on July 14, 2026.
Kira Girl was born on the 4th of July, 2005, to Jim and Sarah Perryman. She has three older brothers and one younger brother, making her the undisputed princess of the family. Kira is known by many names, most notably, Kira Jean Beauty Queen, Baby Girl, Ladybug, Sissy, Kir-Kir, Kir-Jean, Princess, Sister, Kira Girl, Bird, and Kira Beans.
Although Kira entered this world as the most beautiful and precious medical mystery, living every day with challenges and pain, we know that she left it fully healed, pain-free, and is now in eternal bliss with our Heavenly Father.
When people think of our precious girl, please think of her beautiful face, gorgeous eyes, amazing hair, sweetest smile on the planet, world’s-best cuddler, everyone’s best friend, and a spirit that you could feel trying so hard to communicate and respond to you, if only she were able. That’s who our girl was. But she tried, and had her own ways to communicate to you: fluttering of her eyes, a little half smile, a quick movement perhaps. You knew she was “in there” and knew you were there. She felt the love from every single person who knew her, and we felt her love right back.
Kira was pure love. To be in the presence of our girl was to be in the presence of peace, unconditional love, light, and a true miracle. She was a real-life sleeping beauty. Kira Jean was so very fragile, yet had the strength and resilience that surpassed understanding. She was our little warrior, and now her fight is over. She won, AGAIN! This time, she won the ultimate prize.
Kira Girl will be waiting in Heaven for her loving family, who miss her so very deeply. She leaves behind her Momma Sarah and Daddy Jim; her four brothers, Adrian, Ethan, Logan, and Aaron; her grandparents Debra, Martin, Dennis, Deborah, Robert, and Beverly; as well as numerous aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends who love her beyond measure, but know she is always with us.
Kira Jean was greeted in Heaven by her grandparents of the Harris, Perryman, Doster, and Walker families, who we know are holding and loving on her, as we wish we still could.
Being called to care for Kira Jean was an absolute honor, and never a burden. She was the most precious gift one could ever receive. Though we will never know why Sissy’s life was the way it was, she absolutely had a purpose, and her life had so much meaning.
Without ever saying a single word, Kira Jean Beauty Queen—the Prettiest Girl I’ve Ever Seen—taught so many people, all around the world, so many life lessons. She has transformed the hearts of people. She has given people true perspective on what is truly important in life, and that what truly matters is love and connection.
There are no words to describe the pain that her family is in with her passing. It is immeasurable, but we hear that it won’t cut so deep forever, and we hold onto that. We would gladly carry pain if it means she no longer has to.
We love you Sissy, to the moon and back, with every drop of our hearts and souls. We know we will be together again, and until then, we will continue to talk to you and never allow who you were and are to shrink in the memories of others.
“You are the girl of my world!”
