Despite battling leukemia since the age of 2, Keaton Barrón was always thinking of others. At age 7, he started his own charity, The K Club, to benefit others.

Keaton died in 2018 at the age of 8, but his charity lives on through his family — his parents, Luke and Holly, and his siblings Reid, 7, Holden, 4, and Conley, 2.

Keaton’s selflessness is pretty much a family value for the Barróns, an Edmond family and winners of a Parents magazine contest as America’s Kindest Family.

As a prize, Tyson Brand donated $45,000 worth of food to the charity of the family’s choice — and they chose the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.

“The Barrón family is the definition of kindness,” says Lauren Talbert, Tyson’s senior brand manager. “Although they have been through an unimaginable experience losing their son to leukemia, they’ve decided to carry out Keaton’s legacy and honor him each day by helping others.

“The Barrón family’s perseverance, selflessness, and optimism inspires all of us at Tyson to be better and do better.”
