Kaianne Lily Farr Davis of Southampton Dies June 21

Kaianne Lily Farr Davis of Southampton died on June 21 i Durham, North Carolina. She was 4.

She was born in Southampton to Kara and Carl Davis on August 3, 2018.

Her parents had been hoping and praying for a little girl, they said, already having a house full of vigorous boys and they said almost everyone in their community knew it. What a wonderful blessing they received when she arrived, alert, inquisitive and with no tears, her family said.

Kaianne was full of spice from the start. She stole her father’s heart right then and there. She loved her family and being with her three older brothers, Nakai, Kaiden and Kairi. And they loved her back.

She also loved animals, music, which made her happy; and food, her favorite being pancakes. Even with all her health challenges, she continued to smile, her family said.

Kaianne was such a strong little girl. Just before Kaianne’s third birthday, after most treatments for her illness were exhausted in New York, her parents searching for additional options and hope moved to Spring Lake, North Carolina.

With her mom leading the way, her family said, with her fierce mother’s love, Kaianne courageously faced many adversities. After a long battle with brain cancer, she fought hard and won, her family said, and on Wednesday, June 21, Kaianne was called home to rest at Duke University Hospital.

She was predeceased by her great-grandfather, Lucion Bloxon Jr.; and her grandmother, Judy Davis.

She is survived by her parents, Kara and Carl (Frankie Jr.) Davis; her three brothers, Nakai, Kaiden, and Kairi Davis; her grandmother, Felicia Bloxon-Martin; her grandfather, Frankie Carl Davis; her great-grandmother, Essie Bloxon; three aunts, Nakia O’Bryant (Martin), Crystal Serrano (Davis) and Alexa Martin; two uncles, Derris O’Bryant and Aaron Serrano; and a host of great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins and friends.
