In Memory of Malaya: Support for Her Loved Ones

All funds donated will go towards supporting Malaya's family and honor her beautiful memory.

Malaya Lynn Aagard born October 17, 2012, in Tooele, UT passed away suddenly and tragically in Terra, UT on October 12, 2024.

Malaya is survived by both her loving parents Stephen and Shana Aagard, her big brother Jordan Anderton who she idolizes, her maternal grandmother Jacki Hansen, paternal grandparents David (Theresa) Aagard, paternal great-grandmother Nadine Buttars, aunt Jennifer Aagard-Kelley, uncles Darrell (Amanda) Aagard, Jonathan (Kelsee) Aagard, and several cousins and second cousins, and great aunts and uncles who love her.

Malaya loved life, playing outside with her friends, playing her Nintendo Switch, hanging out her family, but most importantly she loves her mother more than anything in this world. Malaya touched a lot of people during her short time on this earth with her kind and big heart. She would help and do anything for those who needed it. Malaya loves her dogs and her cat and all animals in general. She is known and cared for by everyone in Terra. Malaya could always be found riding her bicycle or scooter around town or hanging out at the Terra Park with her little buddy. Malaya is dearly loved and will be deeply missed by everyone who cherishes and knows her. Malaya YOU ARE OUR LITTLE ANGEL, we know you were welcomed back into Heaven with open arms, and you are looking down on us with that big cheesy smile of yours.

The family would like to thank Tate Mortuary and the Bishop and people of the Dugway LDS ward and all our friends, family and coworkers for helping and supporting us through this tragedy. We would also like to thank our neighbors and all of the EMS personnel that did everything that they could to save our baby girl.
