Kesley Wolf Child
(August 31, 1984 to January 8, 2022)
“A’atohwapskomapii” (Pretty Boy)
Kesley Wolf Child, a brother, nephew, friend and son to mother Rena (Roland) Iron Shirt who peacefully passed away on January 8, 2022 in Lethbridge, Alberta. He was 37 years old. He was born on August 31, 1984 at Cardston Hospital.
Kesley left his siblings behind Billy (Ashley) Wolf Child, William Wolf Child. His maternal aunties Ramona White Man and Hope (Virgil) Reevis and adopted aunties: Agnes, Pearline Heavy Runner, Marlene (Tom) Good Rider, Noreen Heavy Runner, Colleen (Tiny) Tailfeathers, Tonya (Shawn) Tailfeathers, Lesley and Wesley (Sharon) Heavy Runner. Aunts and Uncles: Mary Ann (Lesley) Heavy Runner, Margaret (Ronny) Mc Donald; Geraldine (Richard) Wells, Josephine Vielle, Gilbert (Shirley) Wolf Child, Stella Wolf Child, Joyce (Lambert) Many Fingers, Theresa (Alfie) Red Crow. Neices and Nephews: Destiny, Autumn and Billie Jay Wolf Child. Maternal cousins: Deeanna (Randall) Hoof, Ace, Keynan and Kendrick Black Plume; Yolanda (Quinton), Latisha Heavy Runner, Nathan, Sheldon Wolf Child, Natasha Rabbit, Micheal Black Plume, Lawrence Wolf Child, Celine (Myles), Bella Mcdougall-Rabbit, Robert Junior Rabbit, Quaydon, Lane Tallow.
Kesley loved life growing up in the community of Moses Lake, Blood Reserve where he made many lifetime friends and memories. Kesley was known for his long red hair and braided in two, hence the name “Pretty Boy”. He loved his little sister and spent most of his life growing up and getting told by his sister and most of the time they were up to no good. Upon her passing he was never the same as she was someone who shared a bond like no other. He also loved his twin brothers and kept in touch them periodically. Throughout his journey in life, his passion was to showcase the traditional Blackfoot way of life through music, beading, drawing, and being humble to those he’d cross paths with. Kesley always came to Lethbridge to visit and check up on his family, but always ended up with his many friends downtown. When he was at home with Rena and Roland, he would blast pow-wow music and spend quality time with his parents. Kesley was a present day warrior, always combatting issues, to never complain about anything and a mama’s boy. He loved to uplift people by telling comical stories, and never shared a sad one. At the time of his passing, he planned on getting a place in Lethbridge and being more close to family and friends.
Kesley was predeceased by his best friend/sister Lesley Ann Wolf Child and father Billy Holloway. Great Auntie, Catherine Wolf Child, Auntie, Donna Wolf Child and Uncles, Homer, Robert Rabbit, Ricky White Man. Kesley’s adopted parents and grandparents Reggie Black Plume and Bella Wolf Child and adopted mother and great, great grandmother Suzette Eagle Ribs, great, great grandparents, Frank Black Plume “Soyisttsiiksiina” and Lizzie Standing Alone “Sipiainihkiaakii” (Joe Across the Mountain); great great grandparents; Lucy Spotted Bull and Sam (Elizabeth) Wolf Child. His cousins: Myron Wolf Child, Daynin Healy, Darcy Black Plume, Tama White Man, Richard Jr. Black Plume and Leona White Man. The family would like to apologize for any names missing.
