Gametime 2k15 and the Gametime Stars organization, is grieving the heartbreaking loss of 10-year-old Kella Cruikshank, who passed away far too soon.

Kella was the heart and soul of the Gametime 2k15 team, where her joy, laughter, and boundless energy brightened every moment. Her teammates, coaches, and friends will remember her as a shining light—always smiling, always encouraging others, and always giving her best on and off the field.

More than an athlete, Kella was a deeply loving daughter, sister, and friend. She cherished her family with all her heart, and the love she poured into those closest to her was felt in every hug, every laugh, and every moment spent together. Her passing leaves an unimaginable void in the lives of all who knew and loved her.

In this time of profound grief, a GoFundMe organized by Brenden Hackett has been set up to support the Cruikshank family as they navigate this tragedy and the unexpected burdens it brings.

A prayer vigil in Kella’s honor will be held tomorrow, Sunday, September 21, at 3:00 p.m., at the Gametime Stars Facility (4101 SE 85th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73135). Friends, teammates, and members of the community are invited to gather in remembrance, prayer, and love for Kella and her family.

Kella’s official obituary and funeral arrangements will be shared by her family at a later date.

Though her time here was far too short, Kella’s joy, laughter, and spirit will never be forgotten. She will forever remain a part of the hearts and lives of those she touched.
