BEREA, Ohio — Sad news out of Berea as the school district reports the death of Kaylee Roberts, a 16-year-old student.
“On New Year’s Eve the world lost an angel,” according to a GoFundMe set up by her family. “Kaylee Roberts died unexpectedly after a short illness at the age of 16. She was such a beautiful, caring, hardworking, and intelligent young lady. She had such an amazing kindness about her and cared so much for so many family and friends. Kaylee was an exceptional singer, animal lover, fashion trend setter, and a wonderful person and had a very bright future ahead. She was always concerned about everyone and how she could help, even in little ways because of her enormous heart and genuine personality.”
The Berea City School District posted the following message on its Facebook page Wednesday:
It is with great sadness that we inform our Titans community of the passing of BMHS junior Kaylee Roberts yesterday.
We are currently working with the Western Cuyahoga County Crisis team to have staff at BMHS tomorrow morning from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to support students or staff.
Please keep Kaylee's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
