Kadesha M. Dawson

Kadesha M. Dawson—known to friends and family as "KayKay"—was a young woman from St. Louis whose life mattered deeply to the people who knew her. Public records list her as 22 years old at the time of her passing in August 2015, and her burial was handled by a local funeral home in early August of that year. Though formal, family-published obituary text matching her name and date of death was not located in available archives, cemetery records and local memorial listings confirm her identity and burial in St. Louis County.

While the public record about Kadesha’s personal life is limited, what is verifiable shows a real person with family ties and a funeral arranged through a St. Louis-area funeral home. The burial record notes interment at St. Peter’s Cemetery on August 8, 2015, indicating that loved ones made final arrangements and laid her to rest with care. Local community memorial listings also preserve her name and the affectionate nickname "KayKay," an indication that she was known and remembered by people close to her.

When public details are sparse, the simplest truths are also the most important: Kadesha was a daughter, a friend, and a neighbor in St. Louis whose life mattered. Her loss left an absence in the lives of those who knew her best. This remembrance honors her as more than an entry in a database—she was a young person with relationships and a place in her community. May this page acknowledge her humanity and offer a respectful place for memory, and may those who loved her find comfort in remembering the person behind the name.
