Kylie Veronica Roberto

Kylie Veronica Roberto, age 21, physically left this world on April 14, 2024, as a result of a tragic car accident. Kylie, born in Knoxville, TN, was the eldest child of Christine Abrams (McInerney) and Andrew Roberto. While Kylie’s life was far too short, she lived a life full of love, kindness, and compassion. Kylie graduated from Bearden High School in 2020 and attended the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, and Pellissippi State for a few semesters. She spent the last few years working at White Lace and Promises as a Bridal Consultant and, more recently, as a Sales Manager. Kylie was passionate about her job and loved helping others and spreading joy. Kylie was a consummate animal lover and was often referred to as the animal whisperer. When she was five, she took her first horseback lesson and was instantly addicted. From that moment until she graduated high school, it was rare to find Kylie not with horses, talking about horses, or dreaming about them. During this time, Kylie learned about the power of consistency, determination, trust, partnership, and love. Kylie was a dreamer, a seeker, and a person of deep spirituality. She was simply an exemplary human, and the principles of kindness and empathy guided her life. Those who knew Kylie well often described her as one of Earth’s angels. Kylie was known for her large bright blue eyes, huge smile, and giggly laugh; her presence was infectious and would not only light up a room but touch your soul. It was nearly impossible not to smile in her presence. Kylie lived her adult life in West Knoxville with her boyfriend and love of her life, Joseph Belew, and her pride and joys, Beaz and Gretta, their two adopted cats. Kylie loved creating art, gardening, and cooking in her free time. Kylie leaves behind her mother, Christine Veronica Abrams (Leah Abrams); father, Andrew James Roberto (Sarah Roberto); younger sister, Hannah Katherine Roberto, beloved boyfriend Joseph Belew, grandparents Jim and Jane Roberto, and Edward McInerney; aunts and uncles Tim and Karen Roberto, Katie and Jacob Lay, Patrick and Melissa McInerney and several cousins. Kylie also leaves behind a group of very close friends whom she loved and adored that filled Kylie’s life with so much happiness and love. She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Dorothy McInerney. Family and friends are welcome to attend a Receiving of Friends on Thursday, April 25, 2024 from 4-7pm at Rose Funeral & Cremation - Mann at 6200 Kingston Pike, 37919.
