Searching the constellations to relieve this contemplation ~ Kindyn Rheed Jinkins
November 30, 1995 – February 12, 2023
Kindyn entered this world two months early yet brought so much joy to his big brother Kaison and his proud parents, Melanie and David.
For the next 27 years, Kindyn proved to be smart, handsome, and full of charm. He spent much of his time building personal computer systems, servers, and games. He wanted to complete his education in order to work for SpaceX. His charisma kept friends around him laughing, cutting up, challenging each other with perfecting skateboard tricks or gaming.
January 1, 2017 Kindyn surprised and delighted his parents by accepting Jesus in declaration of his own baptism.
Kindyn’s greatest gift to this world was the births of his twins, Lucas Reed and Nikola (Niko) Malcolm Jinkins, on April 17, 2019. They both share Kindyn’s greatest qualities: handsome, adorable, quick, easy smiles, charm, and intelligence.
Being in Lucas & Niko’s life meant everything to Kindyn. Bath time was particularly a joy for Kindyn’s parents to watch. His nurturing manner while entertaining the boys came so naturally to him. A patient father who always had the boys giggling. Getting to watch Kindyn care and play with his boys were the most beautiful and proudest moments for his parents.
Again, early, and this time so sadly, on February 12, 2023, Kindyn left our physical lives to live forever in our hearts and memories as he joined God's army.
Who belongs to God, belongs with God.
Being who he was, he did not leave before making this world a little better after all. An excellent example of exactly who Kindyn was: a generous, kind, and loving person; he had checked that little ‘donor’ box. By doing so, he was able to make a major difference in five lives with his unselfish act and commitment to respecting other people’s lives.
Lucas and Niko will forever have their own dedicated angel, always with them and watching over them—forever their Dad.
*****
Kindyn was in school with goals to work for SpaceX.
Nikola Tesla was a hero to him, and he named one of his twin sons Nikola [Niko].
When Niko needed a DocBand to medically correct the shape of his head, it could only be an astronaut theme.
