Paying Tribute To Jaeleen Melendres

It is with heavy heart we announce the sudden and unexpected death of our beloved Jaeleen Hope Melendres. On March 6, 2020 she suddenly lost consciousness and went home to the Lord.

Jaeleen was the most dedicated daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend who sparkled when she she touched anything. She was a talented dancer and artist who was transferring to CSUN to continue her studies this Fall. She was so mature, never was about the drama, truly lived each life to the fullest and always put others before her self. She always had a smile on her face and no matter what hand she was dealt, she always faced it and followed it up with a tik tok video. She worked at Beyond the Bell at Lockhurst Elementary School as a lead after school coach. She adored watching those kids and they loved their Coach Jae! The bonds and relationships she created are ones that we would envy. She was her mother’s bestest friend and the ultimate most fun and lovable #dadgirl. With all the emotional pain and stress that it brings, it also brings unexpected financial burdens. We are trying to ease the stress for Jay and his family as his current employer does not offer any benefits off work to grieve. We are reaching out for your support to ease some financial stress. Your donations will go directly to Jay and Jill to cover funeral costs and any other help they may need during this time. We are grateful for any support you can provide.

We ask that you REMEMBER Jaeleen and the memories you had. CELEBRATE her life. REPLAY the times you spent together. And INSPIRE each other to resemble her outlook on life. #livelikejaeleen
