Virtues of faith and hope enabled him to be the true warrior he was, who battled a very rare cancer for the eleven consecutive months. Upon returning home, he spent a lot of time with his family and friends taking every opportunity to show how thankful he was in overcoming his battle. Kaisley was determined to attend college this fall, as he wanted to take advantage of obtaining an education so he could help others.

Kaisley, being the ever loving and thoughtful son, requested his Gramma Gerri’s assistance to obtain a gift package for his mother which was to be presented on Mother’s Day. He chose the color of the gift right down to the gift bag and card.

Kaisley graduated high school on June 26, 2014. He worked in the summer of 2011 at the Kainai Continuing Care Centre. In the summer of 2012 he was with the Blood Tribe Youth Entrepreurship Program and ran a small business. In the summer of 2013, he worked under the BTEST High School Program.
