The family of Brian Lee Harned is grieving another heartbreaking loss following the death of his sister, Karlie Odele Haycraft, 29, of Brandenburg, Kentucky.
Karlie died tragically alongside her boyfriend, Trenton Thomas, on Sunday, September 20, 2026. Her obituary lists Brian Lee Harned among her siblings who had preceded her in death, adding another painful chapter to a family already familiar with loss.
Those who knew Karlie remembered her for her vibrant personality and infectious smile, which her loved ones said had a way of brightening any room. She was someone whose presence could bring warmth and happiness to the people around her.
But perhaps the most important part of Karlie’s life was her role as a mother. She was deeply devoted to her daughters, JoLee and Lily, whom she fiercely loved and protected. Her children were at the heart of her life, and the love she had for them will remain among the most enduring memories of her.
Karlie’s sudden passing has left family and friends facing a profound sense of loss. Those closest to her are now holding on to memories of her laughter, smile, personality, and the love she showed to the people who mattered most.
Although her life was far too short, the memories Karlie created will continue to live on through her daughters, family members, friends, and all those who knew and loved her.
Our deepest condolences go to JoLee and Lily, Karlie’s family and friends, and everyone mourning her loss.
