Honor the Memory of Khanista

Please help Khanista’s children Paris, Preston, and Melanie as they grieve through this difficult time.

It is with great shock and sadness that we share the passing of Khanista Diaz – a most beautiful soul, loving daughter, mother, sister, cousin, and friend. We will miss her big smile and the sounds of her even bigger laughs.

On Thursday September 11, 2025 Khanista was admitted to the ER complaining of chest and shoulder pain. Further testing showed cancerous tumors on her liver and kidneys. By Friday, her organs began to fail, and she was placed on life support. She was surrounded by her loved ones when she passed peacefully in the early hours of Monday, September 15th.

As we mourn this devastating loss, we want to rally around Khanista’s family to support them during this difficult time. The unexpected costs of funeral arrangements, time away from work, and the financial burdens that come with losing a loved one are overwhelming. We are asking for donations to give them the space to grieve without added financial stress. Whether you are able to give financially, share this page, or simply hold the family in your thoughts and prayers, your support means the world.
