Roll Call Tribute

Kiley Kristan Anglin 

November 10, 1972 - November 10, 2025 

On November 10, 2025-his 53rd birthday-Kiley Anglin completed his final race and entered the gates of heaven. His passing marked the end of an extraordinary life, one defined by fierce determination, unmatched generosity, and an unwavering love for family, friends, and God.

Born on November 10, 1972, Kiley was raised in Amarillo, Texas, by his adopted parents, Cheryl Kay and Bobby Anglin, and his mother, Rachel Anglin. From the beginning, it was clear that Kiley possessed a remarkable gift. The very first time he attended recess at South lawn Elementary, he immediately earned the reputation of being the fastest kid on the playground. Speed, energy, and focus became hallmarks of his youth and would shape his future in powerful ways. At Fannin Junior High and Amarillo High School, Kiley's talent blossomed. As a sophomore, he qualified for the Texas State Track Meet-an extraordinary achievement that hinted at even greater heights ahead. After moving to Sweetwater for his junior year, Kiley reached the pinnacle of Texas high school athletics by winning the 4A state championship in the 800 meters as a senior. His performance earned him a coveted opportunity to run for Texas A&M University. In 1991, Kiley became an Aggie-a dream come true. He took great pride in his time at A&M, where he built friendships, discipline, and a spirit that stayed with him for life. After a two-year break from competing, Kiley returned to track at Angelo State University.

On May 19, 2008, Kiley married the love of his life, Ratna Shukla. Their 17 years and 6 months of marriage were filled with devotion, partnership, and deep mutual respect. Kiley was incredibly proud of his daughters-Lyndi Kay Wilkinson, Bonnie Blythe Wilkinson, and Emorie Anglin-and becoming a grandfather to little Scottlyn brought him immeasurable joy.

A Memorial Service for Kiley will be held on Saturday. November 22, 2025 at 10:00 am at McCoy Funeral Home, Chapel of Memories, Sweetwater TX.
