Kayden Lee Starr, 29, of Larned Kansas, passed away on the morning of May 7th, 2019 at the University of Kansas Health Systems – Pawnee Valley Campus in Larned.

He was born on April 18th, 1990 in Iowa City, Iowa to Brenda L. Allen (Ganzer) and Tony L. Starr. Kayden spent the last nearly two and a half years working for the Larned State Hospital. Anyone who knew him and worked with him would say that he was a hard worker and always got things done – his work ethic was one to be admired. He loved playing video games and was a very good artist.

Kayden had a very big heart and always did whatever he could for those he cared about. His mother and his wife were two of the most important people in his life and he never hesitated to let anyone know it. He was a very honest and opinionated individual and was certainly not shy about it. Kayden always had a way of getting along with just about anyone. He is and will be very greatly missed by everyone who loved him.

He married Kamryn Hofstad September 18, 2018 in Larned. She survives.

He is survived by his wife Kamryn J. Starr, Larned, parents, Tony L. Starr and Brenda L. Allen (Ganzer); step-dad Kendall Stout, Wichita, step-brother, Michael Stout, Iowa City, Iowa; two step-sisters, Amanda Stout, Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Jackie Dominguez, Iowa City, Iowa and many close friends as well as family who loved him dearly. He and his wife had no children together aside from their 7 ‘fur babies’ – Khaos, Quinn, Smurfette, Batman, Shamus, Dobby, and Bella.

Cremation has taken place and private family services will be at a later date.

Memorials may be made given to the Kayden Lee Starr memorial fund in care of Beckwith Mortuary , P.O. Box 477, Larned, KS 67550. Personal condolences may be left at www.beckwithmortuary.com
