It is with unimaginable heartbreak that I share the passing of Desiree Juras. My best friend of 17 years. To know Desiree was to love her—her warmth, authenticity, and her loving and caring nature had a lasting impact on everyone she met. Her vibrant spirit touched countless lives. Above all, Desiree loved her four children more than anything, and her love for them was unwavering.

We are coming together to honor Desiree’s memory with a Celebration of Life ceremony. The funds raised will help cover the costs of the ceremony and related expenses, allowing us to give her the tribute she deserves. Any remaining funds will be given to the family. Ceremony details will be shared as soon as they are finalized.

Desiree was only 37 years old—a reminder that life is short and not to be taken for granted. Your support, whether through a donation or by keeping Desiree’s family in your thoughts and prayers, means the world to us. Thank you for helping us celebrate her beautiful life and legacy.
