Bozeman, MT — It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jessica Kinzy, a beloved member of the Bozeman community, who died unexpectedly at the age of 38. A Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, Jessica was more than a fitness professional—she was a vibrant force of encouragement, strength, and inspiration for everyone she encountered.
Born and raised in Montana, Jessica made her home in Bozeman, where she built not just a thriving career, but a meaningful life rooted in service to others. Her passion for health and wellness extended far beyond exercise routines and nutrition plans. Jessica had a gift for empowering others—helping clients not only reach their physical goals, but also gain confidence, resilience, and a renewed sense of self-worth.
Over the years, she became a trusted coach and mentor to countless individuals. Her commitment to helping others improve their lives was unmatched, and her clients often became friends—drawn in by her warmth, patience, and deeply compassionate nature. Whether she was leading a group class with infectious energy or offering one-on-one guidance with quiet determination, Jessica approached every day with heart.
Outside of her work, Jessica was a lover of the outdoors. From early morning hikes to snowy winter walks through Gallatin County’s scenic trails, she found peace and joy in Montana’s natural beauty. She often spoke of how nature was her place to recharge, reflect, and connect with something greater.
Jessica was also a dedicated advocate for mental health awareness, encouraging others to speak openly about their struggles and prioritize emotional well-being as much as physical fitness. Her authenticity and vulnerability made her a beacon of light to those navigating difficult times.
Her loss leaves a deep void in the lives of her family, friends, clients, and the larger Bozeman fitness and wellness community. She is remembered for her radiant smile, uplifting spirit, unwavering support of others, and her fierce dedication to living life with purpose.
Jessica is survived by her parents, siblings, extended family, a wide circle of friends, and a devoted network of clients and colleagues who considered her family. Each of them carries forward a piece of the love and strength she shared so freely.
A celebration of life will be held in Bozeman at a later date, where friends and loved ones will gather to honor Jessica’s memory, share stories, and continue her legacy of positivity and empowerment. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Jessica’s name to a local mental health foundation or a community fitness program, causes she held close to her heart.
Though gone far too soon, Jessica Kinzy’s impact will continue to ripple through the lives of those she touched. She will be remembered not just for what she did, but for who she was—kind, courageous, and deeply devoted to helping others find their strength.
