Ava Olivarez was taken from her family far too soon, and the grief surrounding this loss is impossible to put into words. A young life full of promise, love, and meaning has been tragically cut short, leaving her family to face an unbearable heartbreak. In the middle of this deep loss, the family is also carrying the weight of funeral and burial expenses.

Ava was a talented Jr Drag Racer, following in the footsteps of her father, Aaron Olivarez, who is well known in the drag racing community. She began racing with him just after she turned eight years old, and quickly became a bright light on the track, showing determination, skill, and a passion for the sport. Her presence brought joy to everyone around her, and her memory will forever be cherished by her family, friends, and fellow racers. She was truly wise beyond her years and could not only keep up on the track but in any conversation.

We are asking for help from friends, family, and the community to support Ava’s loved ones during this painful time. Every donation will go directly toward covering Ava’s funeral and burial costs and helping relieve some of the immediate financial stress her family is facing. Please give if you are able, and share this page with others. Most of all, please keep Ava and the whole family in your prayers as they walk through something no family should ever have to endure. With love, Austin and Liv Schroader.
