In Loving Memory of Kelsea May, Alan Perez, and Destiny Quiterio: Gone Too Soon, But Never Forgotten
With deep sorrow and a heart weighed down by grief, we remember the lives of Kelsea May, Alan Perez, and Destiny Quiterio, three beautiful souls whose lives were tragically and unexpectedly taken on August 2, 2025. The pain of their loss ripples far beyond the immediate circles of family and friends—it has struck the very heart of the community, leaving behind a silence where their laughter, presence, and energy once lived.
This tragedy has created a wound that words cannot heal. It has left behind memories that now serve as bittersweet reminders of the bright futures that were so cruelly cut short. Kelsea, Alan, and Destiny were more than just names in a news story—they were vibrant individuals, each with dreams, talents, and a love for life that touched everyone they encountered.
🌹 Kelsea May
Kelsea was a radiant young woman whose gentle spirit and quiet strength made her a beacon of light to those around her. With a compassionate heart and an empathetic nature, she was the kind of person who never hesitated to offer a kind word or helping hand. Whether volunteering, spending time with friends, or planning her next steps in life, Kelsea carried herself with grace and authenticity.
Her absence leaves an aching emptiness in the lives of her family and peers. She was the daughter, sister, and friend who always listened, always showed up, and always loved deeply.
🌹 Alan Perez
Alan had a spark that made him unforgettable. Known for his warm smile and quick wit, he brought joy wherever he went. He was fiercely loyal to his loved ones and had a passion for music and community that inspired everyone who knew him. He had dreams he was chasing—goals he spoke of with determination and heart.
Alan was a protector, a dreamer, and a doer. In his short life, he made lasting impressions—whether through his talents, his loyalty, or his ability to make even a stranger feel seen and valued.
🌹 Destiny Quiterio
At just 17 years old, Destiny had already touched more hearts than some do in a lifetime. Her joyful energy, fierce resilience, and vibrant personality lit up every room she entered. She had plans, she had hope, and she had a spirit that couldn’t be ignored. Destiny was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a young woman full of promise and purpose.
Her family remembers her as someone who loved deeply and lived passionately. She danced through life with fearless expression, and that spark will never be forgotten.
A Tragic Loss Felt by Many
The circumstances of their passing—sudden and violent—have added another layer of pain for those left behind. Communities are mourning not just the loss of these three individuals, but the futures they were robbed of. The dreams that will go unrealized. The conversations that will never be had. The hugs that will never be given.
In response, family members, friends, and community leaders have gathered in grief and solidarity. Vigils have been held. Memorials are being planned. And countless people are sharing memories, photos, and tributes online, trying to piece together a world without them.
Honoring Their Memory
In the coming days, funeral and memorial arrangements will be shared by their families. There are also ongoing efforts to support the families during this time through fundraisers and community support initiatives.
What remains certain is this: Kelsea, Alan, and Destiny will not be forgotten. Their stories, their laughter, their energy—those things will live on in the hearts of those they left behind. Let their memory inspire us to cherish our loved ones more deeply, to speak more kindly, and to never take a single moment for granted.
We ask the community to continue to lift these families in prayer and to stand united in grief, remembrance, and the pursuit of justice. No family should have to endure such pain, and no life should be lost to senseless violence.
Rest in peace, Kelsea May, Alan Perez, and Destiny Quiterio.
You were deeply loved. You will be deeply missed.
And you will be remembered—always.
