On the night of November 25th, Darrin and Cheri McGill’s daughter Kieran was driving back to Garden City Community College in Kansas where she attended school on a softball scholarship. Kieran had come home to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with her family. While driving back to college, Kieran hit a patch of icy road and lost control of her vehicle hitting a semi head on. Sunday evening, Thornton police arrived at the McGill home, informing Cheri, Darrin and Kieran’s three siblings of her unfortunate death.
