In Loving Memory of Skyler “Sky” Colton Huckaby (Columbia, KY)

Columbia, KY — The Adair County community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Skyler “Sky” Colton Huckaby, who passed away tragically on Easter Sunday at just 14 years old. Sky’s passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of their family, friends, and all who had the blessing of knowing them. A beloved student at Adair County Middle School, Skyler’s memory will forever be etched into the fabric of the community that adored them.

Sky was a bright, compassionate soul whose personality lit up every room. With a smile that could ease the hardest of days and a laugh that could spark joy in even the quietest moments, Sky had a unique gift for connecting with others. Friends, teachers, and classmates alike remember them for their kindness, respect, and unwavering positivity. Whether offering a word of encouragement to a peer or lending a helping hand to a teacher, Sky left a mark of genuine care on every life they touched.

An active member of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), Sky had a deep appreciation for agriculture, animals, and community service. Their involvement in FFA was more than just an extracurricular activity—it was a reflection of their values: dedication, responsibility, and service to others. Sky’s passion for helping people also fueled a heartfelt dream of one day becoming a police officer. With a protective spirit and a desire to do good, they aspired to serve their community in the most honorable way.

To their family, Skyler was the heart of the home—a source of pride, joy, and unconditional love. They were the kind of child who remembered birthdays, hugged tightly, and never hesitated to say “I love you.” Sky’s bond with their loved ones was deep and profound, and their loss is felt not only in absence, but in the quiet echoes of daily life that once held their laughter and presence.

As a testament to the impact Sky had on the lives around them, Adair County Schools will close to allow students and faculty to attend the funeral. This gesture is not just a reflection of the grief that the school community feels, but of the deep respect and admiration held for a student who exemplified kindness, leadership, and hope. It is a rare and meaningful act that speaks volumes about the lasting impression Sky made in just 14 short years.

Skyler’s legacy is one of compassion, resilience, and inspiration. Though their time on Earth was far too brief, the light they shared continues to shine through those who knew and loved them. As Columbia and Adair County mourn together, they also celebrate a life that, though young, was lived with purpose and love.

Skyler “Sky” Colton Huckaby will be dearly missed, forever remembered, and endlessly loved.
