Eliana "Eli" Velazquez

September 12, 2013 — January 30, 2024

Phoenix

Our beautiful angel, Eliana "Eli" Velazquez, 10, passed away peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her loved ones in the loving arms of her mother on Tuesday, January 30th 2024 at Phoenix Children's Hospital in Phoenix.

Eli is survived by her loving parents: Isela & Modesto, her brother Damian, sister Irania, brother-in-law Jessy, beloved nieces Abby & Sophia and her nephew Emiliano.

Eli was born in Phoenix to Isela and Modesto Velazquez on September 12, 2013. Although she spent most of her childhood in the hospital due to her ongoing medical issues, her loving parents and family gave her a full life filled with love, laughter, and adventure.  She enjoyed splashing in the warm ocean water, meeting cows and experiencing life on the farm with her family for the first time during her early years.

Starting Pre-school and riding the bus gave her immense joy as she made new friends and won over the hearts of her classmates and teachers with her warm smile. Blue was her favorite color and her best friend Abby always made sure Eli looked her best when playing princess makeovers. She was an avid fan of Peppa Pig, Frozen, bubbles, Disney Princess', cuddling with her mom on her bed, taking spins around the house in her chair being pushed by her dad, listening to her brother play the guitar and  listening to her sister keeping ger up to date on everything that was going on.

A strong warrior until the very end, Eli's fight was strong and courageous, teaching us all to live life to the fullest and make every moment count. A beautiful girl that will be forever missed but never forgotten. 

The family of Eli wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the Dr's, nurses, therapists, technicians who took exceptional care of Eli and to our family and friends.

Nuestra hermosa angel, Eliana "Eli" Velazquez,10, falleció tranquilamente mientras dormia rodeada de sus seres queridos en los brazos de su mama el martes, 30 de Enero del 2024 en el hospital Phoenix Children's en Phoenix.

La sobreviven sus amorosos padres Isela y Modesto, su hermano Damian, hermana Irania, cuñado Jessy y sus queridos sobrinos Abby, Emiliano, y Sophia.

Eli nació en Phoenix a sus padres Isela y Modesto Velazquez el 12 de Septiembre del 2013. Aunque ella paso mucho tiempo de su niñez en el hospital debido a sus condiciones médicas sus amorosos padres y familia le dieron una hermosa vida llena de amor, risas y aventura. Ella disfruto jugar entre las olas del mar, conocer las vacas y como es la vida del rancho por primera vez acompañada de su familia en sus primeros años.

Empezar la escuela y pasear en el camión le dio imensa alegría porque formo nuevas amistades y se gano los corazones de sus compañeros y maestros con su tierna sonrisa.  Azul era su color favorito y su mejor amiga Abby siempre se aseguraba que Eli luciera su mejor cuando jugaban a las princesas.  Era una gran fanática de Peppa Pig, Frozen, burbujas, las princesas Disney. Le encantaba estar abrazadita de su mama en su cama, dar vueltas por la casa con su papa empujando se silla de ruedas, escuchar a su hermano tocar la guitarra y que su hermana le platicara todo lo que estaba pasando.

Una fuerte guerrera hasta el final. La batalla de Eli fue llena de fuerzas y valentía, enseñándonos a todos que hay que vivir la vida a todo lo que da y aprovechar la vida que Dios nos dio. Una hermosa niña que para siempre vamos a extrañar pero jamas vamos a olvidar. 

La familia de Eli quiere extender sus mas sinceras gracias a los doctores, terapistas, enfermeras, y técnicos que le dieron cuidado excepcional a Eli y también a nuestras familia y amistades.
