Elyanna Jane Nevarez

Elyanna "Nani" Jane Nevarez, 6 months old, was embraced by Jesus and called into His kingdom on December 26, 2024.

The family will receive guests on Friday, January 3, 2025, from 9:30 am to 10:50 am at St. Laurance Catholic Church, 2300 N. Spring St. Mass will follow at 11:00 am, with Reverend Ryan Winger presiding. 

Our Elyanna, or as we would call her, our Nani Girl, was the missing piece we didn’t know we needed. She was the light of our family, and everyone who knew her loved her. She touched so many lives in the 6 months she was here on earth, and we are so grateful we were blessed with her. She had the most precious smile, the chubbiest hands and feet, and the most beautiful almond-shaped eyes. She enjoyed being with her family and, most of all enjoyed being surrounded by her siblings, who thought she hung the moon. She will forever be in our hearts, and we are so grateful god lent her to us to care for and love her during her short time on this earth. 

Elyanna is survived by her parents, Xavier and Acacia Nevarez, sister Leyla Rose Nevarez, brother Xavier Giovani Nevarez; paternal grandparents, Martha Reyes and Rene Nevarez; maternal grandparents Lydia and Ray Garcia, uncle Eli Garcia; aunt Yathzari Nevarez, and uncle Rene Nevarez.
