Kristopher Karl Alfred

Kristopher Karl Alfred, 51, passed away on January 31, 2026 in Lexington, KY after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Kris received both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Kentucky.  Kris was a prolific and passionate writer.  Writing wasn’t just something he did, but was how he made sense of the world, how he focused the creativity that flowed so freely thru him.  Even through years of illness and setbacks, his creativity, voice, and determination never left him.  Kris had a strong connection to crystals and made a successful business, Seeker’s Stones, designing jewelry that kept his spirits lifted during some of his toughest moments fighting cancer. Kris leaves behind his parents, Marilyn and Ken Baker, brothers Christopher Baker and Lee Baker, his adored cat Isabella, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends.
