BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Loved ones gathered in Buffalo Sunday afternoon to remember a local soldier killed in a crash in Texas.

23 year old, Kaylynn Rhodes, grew up in Buffalo. She was killed in a motorcycle crash November 14th near her Army base in Fort Hood, Texas.

Sunday afternoon her friends and family gathered on the basketball courts in Delaware Park where they used to play together to celebrate her life.

Kaylynn's smile is going to be one of things her friends will miss the most.

Michelle Lane said, "Kay Kay was crazy. She was silly. She was hilarious. She was the silliest person you would ever meet. She could make a bad situation, like it wasn't even happening."

Rhodes was killed in a motorcycle crash in Texas last week. Even though she moved away from Buffalo six years ago to join the Army.
