Colourful career

The owners of the studio wrote on Kagney's GoFundMe page: "She immediately warmed to the studio and all the students with an effortless grace, and it soon felt as if she had always been apart of the studio, from the very beginning."
Later, she eventually opened her own studio as she moved away from the world of adult films. She shared videos and photos on her Instagram of herself performing on poles, showing off the art and athleticism of pole dancing. "Even in her darkest days, however, she still showed up to the studio, always ready to learn, contribute, better herself in whatever small way she could manage," her GoFundMe read.

Her pals penned: "In short, we were firsthand witnesses to Kagney's spirit. And as much as we have all cried for her, we know she would have cried for us tenfold. That was just who Kagney was. She loved deeply. And, because of that, she will be missed just as deeply." More than $15,100 has already been donated by friends and fans.
"We humbly ask that you assist us raise funds for her mother, Tina, to lay Kagney to rest. 100% of these funds will be going to preparations for her memorial services. Any leftover funds will be given to a local animal rescue charity, as Kagney had a pure adoration for all of God's creatures," the page's creator adds. "And, although no amount of money can ease the grief, if it can even assuage a small amount of stress on Kagney's mother and immediate family, that is a victory."
