This morning our family was devastated by the tragic loss of my son, who was cruelly taken from us. Despite the many challenges he faced in his life, he remained an exceptionally kind, caring, and compassionate young man. His struggles with mental health never diminished his love and appreciation for those around him, and he consistently demonstrated a willingness to help others, even those he didn't know.

My daughters, my husband, and I were the closest to him and we are currently grappling with the immense grief of losing him. We respectfully request that you allow us the time and space we need to process our emotions.

A private memorial service will take place on September 12, 2025 at noon at Keith and Keith funeral home in Yakima, WA. A celebration of life will follow and is open to the public. The celebration will take place at 2:30 at the West Valley Park.

If you’d like to help the family with the costs of funeral services or burial expenses, please donate here. Zuriel was loved by everyone, and he will never be forgotten.
