We at Mira USA are truly heartbroken to learn of the passing of one of our most deserving guide dog recipients, Jennifer Kasunick. Jennifer stood out from the beginning with her extremely cheerful and enthusiastic video application for consideration for guide dog placement. She was awarded her first guide dog in 2017.

Jennifer was a junior at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. She was a bright light in this world, always positive and always cheerful. She will be missed by everyone.

Jennifer Rose Kasunick, age 20, of Bay Village, passed on Saturday, January 11, 2025. Loving daughter of Fred and Michelle (nee Brown). Cherished sister of Michael. Loving granddaughter of Marcelline and Fred Brown, and the late Rose and Joe Kasunick. Niece, cousin, dear friend to many, and beloved guide dog "Rowdy."

At the Celebration of Life Service, attendees were encouraged to wear colors as this would be a true reflection of the colorful beauty that was Jennifer. A public visitation was held on Friday, January 17, 2025, at Busch Funeral Home in Avon Lake, Ohio. The Funeral Service was Saturday January 18, 2025 at Bay Presbyterian Church in Bay Village, OH. Interment Lakewood Park Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, Jennifer would want you to spread your kindness and generosity to others by donating either to the Mira Foundation USA or to Big Creek Missions Kentucky.
