A community in Anderson County celebrated the life of beloved Palmetto High School student-athlete, Kiara Johnson, who suddenly died in late September. The cause of her death is still unknown. However, it was a sea of purple Friday, a color people say was Johnson’s favorite. "She was kind. She always put a smile on people's faces. She was always in a good mood. She was hilarious," Lana Newsome said.At Friday's Palmetto vs. Pendleton High School football game, both sides pulled out all the stops for a student many say touched their lives. "She had a bubbly personality, a joy to be around and absolutely will be missed by everyone here," Palmetto Principal Robby Roach said.Her number and initials were scattered across the field, a small token for a young woman many say had so much to offer."It’s devastating. It was devastating for the students, teachers, and the community as a whole," Roach said.Now the team, the school, and the community will move forward just like Johnson would want them to do."I'd say thank you to Kiara. Thank you for being a leader. Thank you for being such a great person and always keeping others around you happy," Krajus Manseo said. "I want to give her a hug and say she was just an amazing person and amazing friend," Newsome said.
