Kristan was an incredible young woman. We were best friends all throughout high school. She was always the life of the party!! And could make you smile at any given moment. I have never had a better friend than kristan. She was always there for me. Kristan, i will miss and love you always! Love your BFF!! Ambi!
ReplyDeleteKristan had a contagious smile, she was a blast to be around. She was the best neighbor anyone could ask for. She always showed interest in your life and always listened to you. She brought fun to even the most boring situations. She is an incredible girl and I will for sure miss her. My heart and prayers goes to her family.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Kristan, I love you and will miss you. You are an incredible young women. You are one of the sweetest girls I know. You have a contagious personality. I always knew if Kristan was around nothing was ever boring. You made anything fun. I hope Brady will be able to see you and give you a love from me. I love you and am so thankful that you are apart of my life. My life is better having known you. Love, Ms. Lisa
ReplyDeleteKristan, we love you soooo much and will miss your beautiful and infectious smile. I know you are still glowing and smiling in heaven with Heavenly Father and with Grandma too. Aunt Julianee and Uncle Mark and the whole family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you. Thanks for raising a wonderful daughter.
ReplyDeleteI love you kay bear 101! I will miss your beautiful smile that lit up the room. Even if you were having a bad day that smile would turn on and your dimples would sink in - And immediatly I felt happy! I last saw you on Friday at school and you were soOo excited to go on the cruis with your family to EUROPE! I was so jealous...You said that you would tell me all about it when you got back and take lots of pictures...You were full of energy and smiles and I love that last memory of brushing shoulders with such an amazing person - To your family: Your daughter was a light to the Paul Mitchell school here in Rexburg and I loved being her instructer. She is forever in my heart and you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing her with us... She will be greatly missed.
ReplyDeleteI remembering being at the Lusvardi home the day Kristan brought home her pink Puma shoes. She was SO proud of how cute they were. Her smile and radiating joy made us all laugh, so happy. It didn't matter how long it had been since you last saw her; if it had been an hour or a year. She always made me feel so welcome, appreciated, and important. You are incredible Kristan.
ReplyDeleteKristan-
ReplyDeleteI have nothing but good memories about you. From being stunt and tumbling partners on cheer to movie nights with Skylar and Jeremy. We definitely had some good times. I looked up to you for always being so happy, smiley, and positive. You will be missed.

Kristen was a standout from when we first moved into the ward. She was always so bright, happy, and exuded complete confidence. Kristen, your early departure is heartbreaking, but may you continue to spread joy and rejoicing where ever you go. Our prayers of comfort go out to your family. You will be extremely missed. The Hoopes
ReplyDeleteI love Kristan Lusvardi. Some of my favorite memories of her are playing in her backyard in Virginia. I remember going to her dance recital where she wore a silver fluffy dress and sang "We're in the Money!" I remember laughing with her, watching her and my sisters create adventures, and I remember her GORGEOUS smile. She is a beautiful example to me of vivacity and joy.
ReplyDeleteI knew Kristan back during her Centennial Middle School days. She was one of the students that made me smile every time she walked in. Always bright and happy, usually laughing about something. I'm glad I had the opportunity to know her.
ReplyDeleteI am truly sorry for your loss. My prayers are with all of you.
Kristan was my gymnastic's teacher. She was a great example to me. I loved going to her house and learning all these new tricks! I'm glad I got to know her. She was a big influence in my life. My prayers are with you!
ReplyDelete-Megan Cook
Kristan and I were never friends but I had a lot of classes with her in middle and high school and she was just so unbelievably friendly. Even though we weren't friend it didn't stop her from reaching out to me and talking to me. Her attitude and smile were contagious. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss, she was such a great person. The world lost a truly good person.
ReplyDeleteKayKay,
ReplyDeleteSo...I didn't go to work today at good ol' Broulims...figured I would start balling as soon as I set foot in that place. Instead I am here on your blog, sipping on a Jamba with thoughts of all the great times we shared. Wow, girlie, I sure do miss you. I'm wishing the "I love Grandma" hadn't been washed off my car. You know? The one you so carefully made sure to cover my ENTIRE back window. :) Remember when we played N64? You had all those little clips in your hair that I gave you. You were so excited. I remember you getting up from sleeping at 11pm, you were half delirious and completely hysterical with your bowl of cereal with OREO's mixed in. The next morning you would be like, "why is there a bowl of cereal in my room?" You cracked me up girlie. You LOVED your OREO's. I loved just sitting and watching Animal Cops with you on Animal Planet and us talking about how we would beat the crap out of people who hurt animals. We would have been awesome at that! And you were the first girl to ever really call me by my favorite nicname. And of course only YOU would put Grandma in front of it because I guess I'm super old compared to you. Well KayKay, time to dry my eyes. You really lit up my life for that short time we lived together. Miss you.
Always,
Grandma Livvy

Kristan was one of those standout students that made your day just by having her walk into the room. She was one of my 8th grade students at Centennial and one I will never forget. I am so sorry to hear of your families loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
ReplyDelete--Karen Soerensen
I am touched by how many lives are affected by a sweet soul. I am in Kristan's father's ward at BYU, he is my bishop. I remember clearly one of the first sundays that I spent in that ward. Kristan was invited by her father to stand and bear her testimony and introduce herself. I am sure the invitation came practically out of the blue, but she handled it like a champ, and bore a beautiful testimony of Christ while making the whole congregation laugh. Though I didn't know her well she exuded happiness, she was like the girl with the perpetual smile. I know from the happy way that she talked about her parents and family that she loved them deeply and seemed to cherish them as best friends. She undoubtedly lived life happy, the way we should. I hope to live life with the same zeal she did. To the Lusvardi family: I love you. My prayers are yours and my heart is with you. Thank you for raising Kristan, such a wonderful person who has brightened the lives of so many more than will ever post here.
ReplyDeleteBishop and Sister Lusvardi, the Madsens love you.
ReplyDeleteKay im so glad that i got to meet you. Everyone thought you were amazing and you still are you were always a blast to be around.

LOVE YOU! Watch over me <3

My heart is broken for Kristen and her family! She was a great kid and had so much going for her! She was so talented, and smart, and one of the biggest thing that I would say about Kristen is her smile. She had a great smile and it always seemed to be on her face. Her smile and laugh were infectious! I just want her and her family to know my thoughts and prayers are with them. What a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love,
Jami Ohran
Former Cheer Advisor
Lusvardi family, thank you so much for raising such a wonderful girl. I have known Kristan since Jr. High. I remember my first impressions of her were that she was so friendly and kind to everyone... and that she loved hippos. Although I wasn't in her close circle of friends, her impact on my life was remarkably great. I am so grateful for that. She always had such a great attitude and she just lit up the classroom. She has inspired me to be more positive about life and to live it to its fullest.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kristan and family
Love,
Sara
My heart goes out to the Lusvardi family. Kristan is such a darling and talented young woman. She has such a bright smile and I loved watching her cheer. Loran...I love you so much and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
ReplyDeleteKatie Ford
Kristan never failed to put a smile on anyone's face. She always made me feel like I was loved and that she truly cared. She did the smallest things that had the biggest impact on everyone's lives and I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say I appreciate that more than ever, especially now. My heart goes out to the Lusvardi family and all the close friends that Kristan had. Kristan, your impact on me was greater than you could imagine. I love you.
ReplyDeleteKristan is such a beautiful girl with bright eyes and a radiant smile. One of my favorite memories of her is her love for "Treazure" the cat and how she was so concerned for its care when she'd go out of town. I remember last summer when we were going to watch it for a week or two while she was gone, she brought us down a huge long list of everything that needed to be done each day and how to care for it. Her list contained 6 or 7 pages all taped together one after the other and she was still very careful that we read and understood our responsibilities. I am so grateful I have gotten to know her over the last few years. Mark and Julie, my whole heart and prayers go out to you. I love you both so much and wish I could be there to support your family this week. Please know that my thoughts and sincere prayers are with you. Kristan lived life to the fullest and I will miss her vibrance and excitement.
ReplyDeleteThis was a lovely young lady. It was a great priviledge to have her in my classes at THS. I am deeply saddened by her passing and will always remember her as well as the many students I have lost over these past many years. Kristen,.... like so many others, you brought great joy to my life. May the family and friends accept my sincere sympathy. You were blessed with a terrific daughter, sister, and friend. Ford White
ReplyDeleteKristan,
ReplyDeleteWe had some amazing times together, thanks for keeping me above water. I don't know how I would've made it without you. Just keep being beautiful on the inside and out.
Kristan, may god watch over you in heaven above. your an amazing girl. i love you so much. we will all miss you deeply. be our guardian angel...<333
ReplyDeletePlease know your family is on our prayers. Kirtis and Gina Hill.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was the first officer on scene that night. He is very sorry for such a sad situation. He wishes he could have done more for her. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We hope you can find peace in this sad situation.
ReplyDeleteThe Manharts
oh kristan im going to miss you and your spunkiness!! i remember being in the same groups with you at school dances and you sure know how to party!! im going to miss you so much. i also remember when we went to the grand cayman islands for our senior trip and you had to make everyone a necklace before we went anywhere and ill always keep mine and remember it was "soapy" for the things i did. :) u will always have an imprint in my life and i will miss you dearly and love you always. love Kelsey Kimball
ReplyDeleteDear Lusvardi Family...
ReplyDeleteI only met Kristan for a few brief times and she was a shining light of God. Her smile was infectious and everyone loved her instantly.
My prayer and thoughts are with you in this time off great loss.
I wish there was something I could say to comfort your family in such a time of need. The only thing I can think of saying is that Jesus Christ lives and loves us. May our Heavenly Father bless your family in this great time of need and may the Holy Ghost feel your lives with comfort and joy that Heavenly Father has a plan for our families.
ReplyDeleteDear Lusvardi Family, I love Kristan so much and will miss her terribly. Corey and I had so much fun when she was with us. I feel very lucky to have had her in my life. She always made me feel like she loved me most, but told me on several occasions that her mother was her very best friend. What lucky parents you are to have had this angel in your life. All my love to her and her family, Lisa DuBreuil Gleave
ReplyDeleteDear Kay. May you do hair for the angels!
ReplyDeleteMark, Julianne and family, we send our warmest thoughts and condolences to you all. We know you're enduring these difficult days with great faith, and that through your tears, you're feeling the comfort, warmth and promises of our Heavenly Father. You've been constantly in our prayers, and will continue to be.
ReplyDeleteWe only rubbed shoulders with Kristan as a young girl in VA. However, we remember watching General Conference at your house the month we moved to Clifton, VA. I still remember Kristan's dazzling smile that very day..a tad shy at meeting a new family with a bunch of big ole boys...yet sweet, kind, and dazzling all the same! What joy she must have brought into your lives!
I wondered how in the world any of us who love you--who have been so positively influenced by your family--could say anything at all that will really assist in healing? I prayerfully decided that there was little to say because you already have that "Light"--you already know the "Plan."
As President H. J. Grant said at a similar time to what you're experiencing, "[T]here was in my home at that time a peaceful influence, a comfort and a joy that is beyond the comprehension of those who know nothing of the Gospel and of the peace that it brings into our hearts."
Perhaps one of the greatest gifts of God is the ability to remember and relive past happy memories. Your beautiful Kristan gave you a myriad of such memories, we know. Many, many blessings on you all as you go through the next weeks. We know the Savior knows exactly what each of you needs at each moment.
With love and with testimonies reaffirming His love,
Dale and Gayle Ellis and Family
She always made everyone in the room happy when she walked in cuz she always had the biggest smile on her face. She will be missed greatly by anyone who crossed paths with her! Kristan - you touched so many lives - I will miss you so much - Love, Brittany Warner
ReplyDeleteDear, dear Lusvardi Family: Kent's and my hearts are breaking at the news of Kristan's passing. We love you and your family. We remember Kristan as a lovely, vibrant, and beautiful girl with a smile that just didn't quit. Our prayers are with you all at this time, may the Lord bless each of you as you struggle to make sense of your loss. Much love, Kent and Marsha Bradford
ReplyDeleteKay, i will never ever forget you, you will always be in my heart! I could tell you anything and i loved how you could tell me anything. my heart is aching and i miss you so much, thank you for always being there for me when i needed you the most. your smile just told me that everything was going to be ok, you could light up a room with that smile. I love you soo much, you have changed my life for the better thanks girl! love ya bunches and i know that you are an amzing angel up there. love lace
ReplyDeleteI'm a "distant relative", Alene, the daughter of Elroy and Lenon Bezzant. My Dad, Elroy, is the cousin of Bob Bezzant, Kristan's grandfather, and my mother is the cousin of Elaine Bezzant, Kristan's grandmother. Although I don't really know Kristan, I know both of her dear grandparents and what loving, enthusiastic, joyful people they are. I know that her Grandmother Bezzant is rejoicing at their recent reunion, even as her Grandfather must be mourning the circumstances. This website is a great tribute to a beautiful young woman. Through reading comments that have been posted here, and by looking at the photographs that have been posted, it is clear that Kristan is a dazzling being. Beautiful in life, she is surely radiant now, as she continues to grow and build upon the experiences of this lifetime. My heart is with all of you, as are my prayers. Alene Bezzant Endter
ReplyDeleteI only talked to Kristan a little bit, but I did admire her, and she really was always happy. This is very tragic news, and we will all miss Kristan until the day where we can see her again. I am soo sorry for your loss. I will be praying for all of Kristan's friends and especially her family, who had a great loving relationship with her.
ReplyDeleteDear Mark, Julianne, and family, We are saddened by Kristan's death. You and your family have been special friends to us for over twenty years. Our prayers continue for you. Kristan was more than likeable, she possessed 360 degrees of kindness. She would engage sweetly with people of every age--even us! Love always, Centreville Pattens--Gerald, Cathy and family
ReplyDeleteWe only remember Kristan as a happy, sweet little girl. She obviously grew to be a lovely young woman. What a wonderful example the whole Lusvardi family have been over the years to the Facer family. We have been blessed by your many talents and kindness. You have our love and concern at this very difficult time.
ReplyDeleteEric, Margaret, Ryan, Alisha and Danielle
Kristan was a wonderful young lady! I was blessed to have her smiling face in my classes at THS. I could always count on Kristan to bring a smile and great attitude to class. Kristan had the wonderful ability to make anyone she talked to feel like they had been best friends for years! Lusvardi family know that you had an incredible daughter who will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this sad time. Thank you for raising a wonderful daughter!
ReplyDeleteWith sincere condolences,
Jeff Ward
I'll miss you so much Kristan. I know it's been a long time since we've hung out or even seen each other, but those times when we did with my little sister and my friends are some of the best memories that I have of my time at Timpview. I never knew you without a smile. Never knew you to be far from unhappy in any way. You always made life brighter. My family and I will always love you.
ReplyDeleteDear Lusvardi Family: My prayers are with you at this time!! You are each incredilble people. I was able to attend school with Loran and Steph & my brother was friends with Kristan and so I have had the incredible opportunity to be impacted by many in your family.
ReplyDeleteLoran: I love you dearly and want you to know that you are in my prayers at this time!! You are an incredible woman & such an incredible inspiration to so many!! I know without a doubt that Kristan led in you footsteps and she is an incredible and inspirational as you!!

Dear Lusvardi family, I did not know Ruby very well. In fact, I only had one class with her in high school. She is a beautiful girl. I would like to thank you for receiving me so warmly at the viewing and for appreciating my presence at the funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
ReplyDeleteKristan, thank you so much for being such a wonderful person. I was so glad to have you as a friend in highschool. It always made my day when you'd come up and talk to me. I will miss you, and always keep memories of you with me.
ReplyDeleteTo the Lusvardi Family, my prayers are with you. I am so grateful for the service today. Your family showed me what it means to love, and to have hope and faith. Cameron, thank you for being a friend, and I'm sorry for this separation from Kristan.
Dear Lusvardi Family,
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry for your loss. Kristan had the most beautiful smile and energetic personality. She was so fun to watch when she was a cheerleader for Timpview. She had such enthusiasm for life. She will be missed by all who knew her. We pray you will be gently healed. We love you,
The Gaufin Family
Lusvardi Family - I'm so sorry for your loss. I know we haven't been close over the years but I still remember the first time I met Kristan at Bezzants. Kristan was so cute and loving. She was so ready to welcome us all into the family with open arms. We played games for hours that first night. I still think of her as that cute little girl with little Cameron always close behind her. I will cherish these memories. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteLove, Jana Hood
I am so grateful the night Kristan died we spoke to her and had a nice conversation. She was planning to buy a life vest so she could go swimming in a nearby lake. She wanted me to send her Grandma Ruby's banana nut bread recipe so she could make it the next day. She talked to her dad about how excited she was to go on a cruise vacation we had planned soon. Walking in Paul's Footsteps. It would take in Greece, Italy, and Spain. She told us about how much fun she had had with Jamie's family 4 wheeling and camping for 4 days with no shower! She was proud of herself being able to survive just on baby wipes! She talked about how excited she was to come home for the weekend and that she already had Dads Fathers Day gift. A flying pig ornament for the lawn! So glad we had talked. Love her, don't forget her! Mama Lusvardi
ReplyDeleteI asked David last week what his favorite memory of Kristan was and he said it was when he would wear an extra big button down shirt. Kristan must have been little, because he would put her under the shirt and her little head would pop out above one of the top buttons. He said he loved walking around with her like that.
ReplyDeleteI knew Kristan for 12 of her 19 years, and what I loved most about her was her enthusiasm. She always had a big hug to greet me. Our family will miss her, but what a great reunion we have to look forward to one day! What a great family to be a part of. We love you all, Lusvardi family!
First i am so sorry for your loss, Kristan was an awesome girl with a such a great personality. My heart goes out to her close friends and family, you will all continue to be in my prayers. I've known Kristan since 7th grade.. we weren't really close but we did have some good times, :) and we always had a couple classes together. Senior year we had 4 of the same classes together. One of which was english, that class was a lot of fun and she always made everyone laugh. I remember everyday she would sit next to me and tell me all about her shaved legs ''Brittany i shave my legs everyday in the shower.. even if i'm running late i still shave them.. i have to shave them everyday no matter what!!'' hahaha she was so funny. When i think of her i can hear her laugh perfectly.. she always had a smile on her face just like everyone else has said and it's totally true. The world is now one less great person, but heaven has just gained one and i know she has a lot to do up there and that she'll keep a close eye on all of us. RIP Ruby, we will NEVER forget you, love always Brittany Mont.
ReplyDeleteSo much of what I have thought about this week has been about your family. I have thought about all of the learning that has gone on because of you. Even after this life she was a being a teacher. We all learned more about our Savior and His teachings because of her. You will be in our thoughts and prayers always. I thank you for the short time I was able to get to know your family. You will never know how much your family has changed my life for the better.
ReplyDeleteI only knew Kristan for a period of a few months, but all I remember is how often and easily she smiled. I can only remember ever seeing her smiling, like there was something fun going on and I somehow didn't know about it...
ReplyDeleteI'm posting again :) Not one day goes by that i dont think about Kristan, everytime i get into the car i always think about her and put on my seat belt.. I never used to wear it, but i always wear it now and tell everyone in the car to put theirs on too.. It's so crazy and still so hard to believe that she's gone. i truely hope everything at the lusvardi family is going ok, you're still in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteMiss you Ruby.
love brittany Montgomery.
Thank You all who have made such nice comments about Kristans life here on earth. We miss her so much and are trusting in the Lord and his power in the atonement to raise us all from the dead and renew our spirit with our physical bodies. I know God is good and he heals all suffering.
ReplyDeleteI challenge all of you to make life count and treat everyone you meet as if they might not be there tomorrow. Cherish each other and love each other and forgive each other and be patient with each other. Julianne Lusvardi
Kristan was such a sweetheart!! She was so beautiful and brought joy to so many peoples lives!! I miss you kristan and I think about you all the time. I know youre doing the Lord's work up there and that you're happy :) So I will be happy too. Thanks for everything..I love ya.
ReplyDeleteI miss you babes... My fiance is the greatest, I wish you could meet him. take care of my future babies they'll like you. Tell them i'm alot cooler than they'll think I am. . . autumn always makes me reminisce, I was just thinking about old times and missing you
ReplyDeleteHope
I have so many memories of Kristan. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known and her ability to light up a room with her smile is unmatched. I remember when I first moved to Utah with my family, she was one of the first friends I had. She, and another neighbor, met me every morning to go to school and even made me my own yearbook at the end of the school year. Kristan was a great friend and is sorely missed.
