Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
On April 3, 2009 God gave us the opportunity to love you.
You were the most beautiful baby and little girl. For 4 years we watched you grow into your own personality and your own little lady.
Your smile was contagious everyone fell in love with you immediately. Blonde curls bounced around from your head as you ran thru the yard or throughout the house. The laugh you had is one no one could ever forget. Your goofy sayings and complete love for everything and everyone was amazing. Our world revolves around you. God took you home to be with him on March 13,2014 to heal your body from all the pain and trauma. This world, our world will never be the same without you here with us. Mommy, Nana, Pop-Pop, Daddy, Bladen and Raylen love you BIG Bugg! God gave me you for the ups and downs and always remain the sunshine on our shoulders even on cloudy days! When we cry for you don’t worry my sweet Bugg its only because we miss you and love you BIG!

Her grandparents Leslie and Brian Davenport and Jessie and Rene’ Eremity. Also she is survived by extended family and an enormous amount of loving and supporting friends.

Kilah’s life has touched each of us in so many ways. She accomplished so much for one so young. Our hearts were broken when she was hurt and God gave her back for a short while. We celebrated with you in her life and we will be here to hold you in her passing. She is healed completely and celebrating with Jesus! We love each of you and pray daily for you. We are all family as Kilah has brought us all together! We love you!

Howard Snow says
I am very sad at the passing of Kilah. I only knew her for a short time but she touched my heart deeply. I call her my little hero because of her fight the child abuse laws in NC were changed and she stayed here long enough to see her abuser punished for what he did. I will never forget my little hero and I know she is healed now and looking down on us. Sleep little angel till we meet again. My thoughts and prayers go to the Davenport family I love you all.
karen locklear says
We love you Kilah… Your smile and strength will leave a mark on alot of hearts….. RIP habitual…
Caitlin & Evan Deaver says
Kilah you will forever be a HERO in my eyes. You’ve done more in your four years then I have in my twenty-five. I remember being so proud when NC passed your law & I know the next step is to make it in all states which I know your amazing family will make sure of. God called you home & now you can dance, run, talk & rejoice again. NO more pain baby just complete bliss is what your feeling. I love you BIG Kilah! Evan saw me crying & I told him about you passing, he saw your picture & said it’s okay mama she’s with papaw in heaven, then said she’s pretty mama. You were beautiful inside & out baby & will missed beyond words. My heart aches for your family but I hope they find comfort that they will see you again & you will greet them at those golden gates. ??
Tammy Brewton says
What more is there to say…. We could spend from now until the end of time talking and remembering this little package of all that is special. I wish that I could help any of u carry the burden of the pain the emptiness and the sorrow. But I know that it is not possible. It only makes since to hurt so bad since u loved her so much. They say time heals, it does get less painful but as u know from other lost loved ones it still is in your heart and mind everyday! It is going to be very hard for awhile. You will have times when you are in a crowded room and feel completely alone. You will wonder if anyone can possibly be hurting as bad as you are! Life tends to go on and you guys will rejoice in the children that Kilah left behind. I’m sure you will see moments of Kilah in each of the babies because after all they were siblings! So although Bladen and Raylen are beautiful children in their own rights maybe Kilah left them a small piece of her soul. She will live on in all of you. She also will live on in the legacy she has left ! Although her physical body left this world way, way to soon, her memory, her curly top, grin from ear to ear will always be remembered. Sadly she will also have to be remembered as a victim of child abuse. But because of her families strength and Kilah’s ability to make a statement about abuse without ever saying a word she left this world as not a victim but a hero! May God bless you mighty mouse! I wonder if your angel wings are purple or pink! God speed! To her family, hold your head up and wipe your tears! Kilah is healed and as a spectator watching the endless and relentless work you have done to put a face on child abuse. .. I honor each and everyone of you.
Mercedes says
I could never imagine in a million years how you are all feeling right now. I want to send all my prayers, love, and respect to the Davenport family. Kilah is dancing in heaven now! She is watching over her family now and she is smiling! From the bottom of my heart I am so sorry for your loss! <3
Sherrie Treece says
I am so sorry for your loss,you are all in my prayers. The one thing that will bring you through this, is one day you will see her smiling beautiful face again. You all will continue to be in my prayers.
Kasey Simpson says

Barbara Beam says
May God bless you and comfort you at this time. I know you are sorry to see her go, but joyful that she is free from pain. Wrap your arms around each other and love on each other.
Susan McNamara says
Kilah was such a true inspiration and trooper… She fought and she conquered..
Please, dont cry, do not be sad.
Treasure the time how ever short we had.
I miss you too, but I can feel your love.
Even up here flying, like a little dove.
I know it seems scary, and you feel all alone.
No one can ever replace me, I was your own.
Your sadness means I was loved every day.
Though you cant see me, beside you I lay.
It takes so much courage, for you to go on.
I know our time together, wasnt very long.
But you now will be stronger for knowing me.
It will be okay some day, you will soon see.
In the times that are hard, remember I am here.
Never far from you watching; always very near.
It isnt fair we have to live so far away.
But dont worry; I hear everything that you say.
I am with you with every step that you take.
Sending reminders I love you, for your sake.
I grew in your world but then slipped away.
Instead now forever in your heart I will stay.
Calvin Wright says
I am very saddened by your loss and my heart and prayers are with all if you. All of you have shown more love for that little girl than anyone could ever imagine. Know that she is lucky to have had all of you in her life, just as you all were lucky to have had her in yours. God bless you all.

Fly with the angels precious Kilah! We love you BIG! You’ll always be watching over us. You may not have known all the supporters you had during your much too short time on this earth, but I know that you do now and can see that angelic smile that I’ve seen in so many pictures!!

Kimberly Luther says
I am so sorry to hear about Kilahs passing. I have followed the story since I first heard, she was such a strong little girl and fought as long as she could. I cant imagine what y’all are going through. My thoughts are with y’all during this hard time. R.I.P sweet baby, fly high sweet baby. We love you angel.
Ashley Gardner says
I heard about Kilah through friends of your family. My heart has gone out to you all since that day. I can’t imagine the pain your family has gone through and I am so sorry. Your little girl has touched so many hearts, including mine, and has shown us how to be stronger than we can ever imagine ourselves being. She is a true angel, here and there. May the Lord hold you all in his arms and give you the strength to put one foot in front of the other as your hearts heal from this loss.
Pam Dowd says
As I have said in many messages and it doesn’t get any easier for me..I can feel your pain as you allow God to take this precious baby and heal her from all the pain and suffer she has been through even though we know she is in a much better place it still not easy to say Good bye..But just know she is doing everything she has always wanted to do and she will be waiting to see you again with the beautiful smile we can all remember. Kirbi,Leslie,and Brian I am so sorry for the loss and I will have you in my prayers!!!
Donna Cannon says
It’s amazing to me how such a young little being can make such a huge impact on so many people across the world, but she did. It’s amazing to me how such a young little being brought so many strangers together for the same purpose, but she did. It’s amazing how such a young little being can create a law to save so many children in the world, but she did. It’s amazingly wonderful that now that sweet, precious little girl can not be free of pain, sorrow and once again smile and now what a huge difference she made in the world–AND SHE DID!!!
I am so sorry for the families loss and for the loss of everyone that Kilah touched which are far too many to count…please try to find solace in knowing all the good she did in this world the short time she was here. I won’t tell you the cliché of time will make it better, the pain will go on for a long time, but, as your friends have been there during the last year, we will be here now, we love all of you BIG!!!
Bruce Bowden says
…Kirby, Leslie & Family: please know that Tolitha & I are in prayer as you face the days ahead. May you find comfort that comes from God. We will see Kilah again!

Dear Princess Kilah,
Ever since I’ve been a member of TeamKilah, I have been a part of something way bigger than I ever could be. We will never know the names and faces of the children you short time here on earth has helped, because they will never make the 6:00 news. Only God knows their names. You have earned your wings little one. Fly high in Heaven. When I get there I will take you on a motorcycle ride, it’s going to be fun.
Love You Big Kilah Bug
Later.
