In Loving Memory of Katelyn Valerio – Memorial Fund
With heavy hearts, we are reaching out to family, friends, and the community to help support the Valerio family during this incredibly difficult time. On March 18, 2025, we tragically lost Katelyn Valerio, a beloved 18-year-old daughter, sister, and friend. Katelyn was a bright and beautiful soul who touched the lives of everyone she met. She was set to graduate from Sachse High School. Katelyn had an infectious smile, a kind heart, and a spirit that will never be forgotten.
Katelyn leaves behind her loving family: her younger sister, older brother, older sister, and her devoted mother and father. The family is heartbroken by this sudden loss, and while no words can ease the pain they are feeling, we hope to bring them some comfort and relief through this fundraiser.
This GoFundMe has been set up to assist with the funeral and memorial expenses, and to help ease the financial burden during this heartbreaking time. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and allow the family to focus on grieving and healing. There will be a burial memorial. We will provide an update of the location, date and time once we iron out the details.
If you are unable to contribute financially, we ask that you keep the Valerio family in your thoughts and prayers, and share this campaign with others who may be able to help.
Thank you for your kindness, support, and generosity during this incredibly tough time. Katelyn will be deeply missed by all who knew her, and we are forever grateful for the love and light she brought into this world.
Rest in Peace, Katelyn. You will always be loved.
