It is with profound sorrow that we share the loss of Jaretzi Barran Sibaja, a radiant 19-year-old cosmetology student from Porterville, California, who left us far too soon on April 30, 2025.

Born on December 26, 2005, Jaretzi was a vibrant soul whose love for art, especially painting, brought beauty and joy to everyone around her. Her passion for anime, her generous spirit, and her infectious charisma made her a cherished daughter, friend, and member of our community. Known for her kindness and excellence as a human being, Jaretzi’s warmth touched and inspired many lives.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to support Jaretzi’s family during this heartbreaking time by covering the costs of her funeral, including the service, burial, and a memorial to honor her artistic spirit.

All funds will go directly to the Barran Sibaja family to ease their financial burden and allow them to focus on celebrating Jaretzi’s beautiful life. Your donation, no matter how small, will help give Jaretzi the farewell she deserves, as her family wishes to send her back to the place of her roots in Mexico, where her Grandparents still wait for her to return.

Please consider contributing and sharing this fundraiser to keep Jaretzi’s light shining through our collective love and support. Thank you for your compassion.
