Kieran Hill, of Riverside, California, passed away on October 15, 2026, at the age of 18. He was born on August 5, 2008, at Parkview Community Hospital in Riverside, California.

Kieran will be remembered as a young man with a huge heart, bright energy, and deep love for the people closest to him. Music was a constant joy in his life. He loved singing, making beats, and filling the world around him with his energy. He also loved to write, finding his own way to express what mattered to him. In the kitchen, Kieran enjoyed cooking and sharing his latest creations with family, who loved being able to try whatever new dish he had decided to make. He was known for being especially good with directions, a small but memorable gift that became part of how those around him knew and loved him.

Above all, Kieran’s daughter, Konstance, meant the world to him. Any chance he had, he wanted to spend it with her, and that love defined so much of who he was. He was also an amazing older brother to his sisters, someone who treasured being with them and was deeply protective of them. His love for family showed itself in everyday moments as much as in the big ones. He enjoyed reading with his mother, Kourtney Peterson, and took delight in predicting story plots or talking about what their next book might be.

He is survived by his mother, Kourtney Peterson; his beloved daughter, Konstance; his sisters, Zayda, Nyia, and Aria Peterson, with whom he shared a close and loving bond; and his grandparents, Brenda and Kelly Leisure. He is also survived by Cliffone Dawkins and Lawrence Peterson.

Each of them carries forward the memory of his warmth, his creativity, his devotion, and the love he gave so freely.

Kieran will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family and by all who knew the kindness, protectiveness, and joy he brought into their lives. His memory lives on in music, in stories shared over books, in family time spent together, and in the love he poured so fully into those he cherished most.
