Kayla Raye Engelbert is now resting in God’s arms following a tragic accident on October 6, 2019. She was born in Arlington, TX on October 21, 1996 to Lynnette and Les Engelbert. Kayla graduated from Juan Seguin High School and went on to study at Tarrant County College. She worked for Kid-to-Kid Arlington as a Buyer for over 4 years. She loved all animals and was especially tender-hearted when it came to stray cats, including rescuing kittens and bringing them home to nurture starting at an early age. She loved to singing, karaoke, listening to a diverse genre of music, and visiting with her numerous friends. She will be remembered for her beautiful eyes, smile, and joyful spirit. Kayla is survived by her mother Lynnette Harrison Tinsley and step-father Doug Tinsley, brother Nathan Tinsley, father Les Engelbert and step-mother Sammie Engelbert, maternal grandparents Ray and Janet Harrison, paternal grandmother Joan Ansley, and numerous other loving family members. There will be a “Celebration of Life” for Kayla on Friday, October 11, 1 pm, at The Salvation Army Family Life Center, 712 West Abram St, Arlington, TX.

Les & Sammie, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please know the ERIKS family has you in our hearts. May God bless during this difficult time. I pray He brings you healing, comfort, and strength. May you find peace in knowing your sweet baby girl is resting in the arms of Jesus. May her light shine brightly on your faces every day. Good speed.

Les Engelbert and family
The ending of 2019 is now going to be one of the most difficult years. There will some ups and quite a few downs. You’re not alone in your grief. We are here with you to laugh at the silly pictures/memories and to cry all in the same minute. Or even just sit in silence. I love you Les and Lynette. Kayla was taken too soon and my heart hurts with y’all. I’ll be missing you cousin ????
Les and family, words can’t express my deepest sympathy. I have worked with Les for 22 years and through the years I was able to meet Kayla and watch her grow to be a beautiful young lady. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.
