Support Yasmine's Family After Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Yasmine Nichole Hightower was a young, vibrant, beautiful soul. She peacefully left this world, far too soon, on Feb 7, 2025, surrounded by family and friends after a traumatic car accident that left her on life support. She was only 26.

Yasmine comes from humble beginnings, like many of us, but she wanted for nothing because she was not difficult to please. She was happiest with the simplest of things. Yasmine was loved deeply by her parents, family both near and far, her friends, and siblings, but without question, the impact of this tragedy falls greatly upon her brother, Elijah, and her warrior mother, Nichole.

Please join me, Aunt Lynn, and her Aunt Christel, in supporting Nichole to help with medical bills, memorial and homegoing arrangements, funeral expenses, vehicle retrieval fees, and lost wages.

“Yaz” was my cousin, but I called her my niece. I was there when she was born and held her hand, along with her mother Nichole and father Troy, as she transitioned. She will always be our “Baby Girl.”

“Yaz” loved the outdoors; she was a curious adventurer. She loved going to the beach, hiking in the mountains, and just being out in nature. “Yaz” was a dreamer always seeking out the next journey. She felt inspired and supported by Dr. Archie Perry and Ceci, they are family! She loved art, music, and dancing her heart out, attending concerts and local festivals. Her free spirit was contagious, and her laughter resonated in our hearts. She was beautiful, talented, funny, and kind. She loved to cook and took great joy in feeding the people around her. She learned a lot from her chef stepdad, Leonard. “Yaz” was open to new things and was learning to speak Spanish with the help of her loving boyfriend Daniel, he was her best friend. She had an eclectic, unique way about her that was all her own. “Yaz” truly loved kids and never tired of entertaining them, making them feel seen and heard as she was a big kid herself. She loved animals, but especially her dog Phoebe, a giant schnauzer poodle that stole her heart.

Yasmine was a LIGHT to everyone, especially with her smile, and the best cheerleader one could ask for. Even in difficult times, she smiled through it all and always found a way to move forward. Please donate in whatever capacity you can to help ease the unexpected financial burden that comes with this type of sudden loss.

Yasmine was always on the move, working, learning, and living! We love her and will miss her tremendously as we honor her beautiful memory.

Thank you for your support!
