It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Kael Jeremy Deslatte, born on November 6, 2006, in Colorado. Kael left this world on November 7, 2025, leaving behind a loving family and a community forever touched by his vibrant spirit.

Kael was the cherished son of Cari and Darrick Deslatte, and a beloved sibling to Sage Deslatte and brother in law Toby Galyean.  His grandparents, Tom and Judy Deslatte, along with Kristy and David Grenz, were sources of unwavering support and affection throughout his life. He is also remembered fondly by his uncle, Jeremy Grenz, and his cousins, Karter and Ava Grenz as well as our east coast cousins and extended family. 

Having recently begun his studies as a sophomore at the University of Western Colorado in Gunnison, Kael was on a heartfelt journey to achieve his dream of becoming a first responder, with a special interest in firefighting. His commitment to helping others was evident not only in his academic pursuits but also in his active role as a volunteer for the Western Search & Rescue Team and South Metro Explorers. Kael’s many interests reflected his adventurous and compassionate nature. He was passionate about everything outdoors—hiking, camping, paddleboarding, and participating in 5Ks. His love for music, especially live performances, brought him immense joy, as did the moments spent baking brownies and preparing meals for his friends and family, showcasing his innate generosity and kindness.

A bright light in the lives of all who knew him, Kael possessed a unique ability to see the true essence of those around him, complemented by his clever sense of humor. He was known for his loyalty and ambition, consistently driven to explore the world around him with curiosity and honesty.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Kael's life on November 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM at the PACE Center, located at 20000 Pikes Peak Avenue, Parker, CO, with a reception to follow. In honor of Kael’s memory, the family kindly requests that attendees bring non-perishable food donations for the Parker Task Force. Kael Jeremy Deslatte has left an indelible mark on our hearts.

His legacy of kindness, passion, and joy for life will forever inspire those who had the privilege to know him.
