Ms. Kimberly Yvette Staples of Dallas, TX, passed away on Friday, August 17, 2018 at the age of 29. She will be greatly missed for her sense of humor, relentless strength, contagious smile, and concern for others. She was a devoted daughter and mother who truly enjoyed her family and friends.

Kimberly was born to parents Jeannette Staples Gardner and Robert Moore Jr. on December 31, 1988 in Dallas, TX. She grew up as the only child and attended Westmoore High School in Moore, Oklahoma. In 2011, she received her Bachelor’s of Science in Fashion Merchandising and shortly afterward her Master’s Degree. She was actively pursuing her teaching degree leading up to her untimely death as teaching was her true passion.
She was a substitute teacher for the Plano Independent School District until her illness no longer allowed her to continue. However, she continued to volunteer in a teaching capacity whenever she could.

Kimberly is survived by her son, Kaden Amir Staples, her stepfather, Brockton Laurent Gardner, her sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

To honor Kimberly's wishes there will be no funeral services.
Kimberly wishes to be cremated and to spend eternity among the seas. 

Friends and family are invited to attend the scattering of her ashes on a beach in the Los Angeles area of California on September 7th 2018. 

The family is grateful for your condolences, but declines flowers.
