Kathleen Marie Meyer

We are heartbroken to read this tragic news. Such a sweet soul and always greeting us with her beautiful smile. Our deepest condolences to Bonnie and her family.

No words just so much love.💕

Bonnie, I am so very sorry the passing of your beautiful wife. The few times I met her, she always had a smile on her face, and I know she brought a smile to you. I will continue to keep you and your family in prayer of comfort. Blessings, Rochelle

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I went to grad school with Katie back in New York, and she was such a joy to know! This is a real loss to the world, in addition to her family. I know she loved you a lot and I am so sorry for your loss.

Katie was SIMPLY THE BEST !! It has been a true honor and privilege knowing her.

I'm devastated to hear this news. I enjoyed working with Katie and was inspired both by her leadership here in Dayton and for her unflagging enthusiasm for her native Covington. She had the most marvelous combination of humility and self-confidence, caring deeply for others and quietly proud of her own work and accomplishments. Everyone here at the Dayton Performing Arts Alliances offers our deepest condolences to her family. Personally I will miss (have already missed!) her warm and enthusiastic presence in our community. May the angels lead you into Paradise, and the hosts of heaven welcome you.

Katie was a light to me as well. She was so “kind” and full of energy and helpful to everyone. She was inclusive and motivated. And did things the “right way” when ever I talked to her. May god rest her soul. Incredibly saddened. God bless the family and loved one! A light that shines will never stop. I met Katie Meyer when she worked in Covington. She was younger than me - I believe instantly excited about everything. I loved her immediately, she was infectious and ready to go. She instantly stood up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves and was fearless about it. Nothing was impossible. We were working on a wireless project at the time in smart city. She was innovative so right in the action. Tip of spear. She started working with Dan Mazza and Cincinanti bell with a project to help people in Covington in a digital inequality enablement solution. Uplifting the “have nots” in a way that helped the “haves” as well. A truly “everyone benefits solution”. One of the first in the country of its kind. Perfect for her as she was tech, Gov and understanding of process and driven to push through. She also had heart. Then she went on to to more of that in more places. I have talked to her a fews times to give her #hope and #love recently. I wish more. Absolutely beautiful human inside and out.

Katie was indeed a light, with an infectious spirit that lifted up all who connected with her. Dayton and northern Kentucky lost a true passionate advocate. May her memory be a blessing.

Katie will be missed. Her genuine smile and positive can-do spirit was infectious and had a true impact on her role in Dayton, albeit much too briefly. All the best to her family and friends as her tremendous loss is processed in the coming days and years.

Dayton has lost a community leader. Katie was instrumental in bringing the NATO PA to life, spearheading the visual efforts downtown including the Dayton Peace Sign that is now outside the Schuster Center, and even coining the phrase ‘NATO Village.’ Our community is forever changed because of her dedication and vision at the DDP. Katie will be missed, my condolences go out to Katie’s family and loved ones.

This news saddens me. Our paths crossed in several places in Covington activities and programs and I appreciated her zest for life and her desire to make the world a better place.

My heart is broken for a light dimmed too soon. Katie, thank you for making our community so much better for having you as our champion. Sending so much heartfelt sympathy to family and friends navigating this difficult time.

I got to know Katie through Leadership Northern Kentucky. She left a tremendous impression on me more than a decade ago that I will never forget. Much love and prayers for Bonnie, her parents, siblings, and all who loved her! May her light continue to shine. ♥️

Our hearts are shattered by the news of Katie's passing. What an inspiring, bold, vivacious life she lived - an absolute blessing to her community and family. Katie was a bright light, and our world is now darker without her in it. All of our love to you all.

Katie made her family, her friends, her community, and this world both lighter and finer with her continual push for better for all. She will be missed by all who knew her and all the people she helped in her life.

Thank you for your bravery and sharing the ups and downs hopes and fears. Katie was a true authentic presence voice and a Shining light has left the city and this earth ~ a rare good human much needed and will be much missed ; we’ll keep her legacy alive as a community and heartfelt love to family and her darling wife Bonnie Meyer from Tracy & Davey

We are deeply saddened by the news of Katie’s passing. She was a shining light wherever she went—truly an amazing person who touched so many lives. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her, and especially by us. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, whom we have been fortunate to know as friends and neighbors for many years. May she rest in peace, and may her light continue to shine in all the lives she touched.

A truly devastating day for all of us who knew and admired Katie. It was a great pleasure to experience her visionary leadership in creating a welcoming downtown Dayton for foreign dignitaries and the international media during Dayton 2025. Her enthusiasm and passion for showcasing local artists to a global audience as well as advocating for the installation of the Dayton Peace Sign will never be forgotten by the community. May Katie find eternal peace and her family and friends find comfort in knowing her memory lives on in them.

I simply have no words. Katie was the most supportive coworker and friend. This loss will be felt in all the communities she touched, which is a lot. Bonnie and family, I’m sorry for what you are going through 💔

I knew Katie from our time working as Main Street directors, back when I was filling that role in Frankfort. I adored her and her energy and the vibrancy that just filled every room she entered. Thinking of her family and her dear Bonnie, during this time. May Katie's memory be an ongoing blessing.

Just Heartbroken for Bonnie and family 💔. From the moment I met Katie, we were friends and had a mutual love and passion for our community. I will carry that forward to honor her. No more pain, rest easy now beautiful soul.

My heart is broken for all of us. Katie’s light made us all better. We should try to bring Katie’s positivity to our world. Rest well friend.
