My cousin Desirae (Dezz) Martin was the kind of person who could light up a room just by walking in. She was beautiful, caring, and selfless, always putting others before herself and making everyone around her feel loved. Dezz cherished her family and friends deeply, and when we were all together, she just wanted us to be close and happy. She was a talented singer and actress, and she made lasting friendships wherever she went. Dezz also had a special love for Alice in Wonderland, she found so much joy and inspiration in its whimsical world, and it was a big part of her life. Her kindness and warmth touched so many lives, and her loss has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.

Tragically, Dezz was taken from us far too soon at just 29 years old, the victim of a senseless act of violence.

We are reaching out to our community for help. Any support you can give will go directly towards bringing her home to Utah with her parents, honoring her memory, and easing the financial burden on her parents during this heartbreaking time. Thank you for keeping Dezz and her loved ones in your thoughts and for any help you can offer.

The funds will go directly to Johnny Martin and Tracy Hickman- Beebe (Dezz’s dad and mom) for any expenses they may incur.
