Chellee Ryan Garcia

It is with the heaviest hearts that we share the passing of our beautiful Chellee Ryan Garcia, who gained her angel wings on August 2, 2026, at just 30 years old. There are no words that can truly describe the pain of losing someone so deeply loved. Chellee will be celebrated on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 at 11:00 am at the Word of God Ministry Church, 1102 N. Willis, and at a visitation on Monday, August 10th from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Piersall Funeral Directors, 733 Butternut Street.

Chellee was more than a daughter, sister, mother, fiancée, and friend-she was a light in so many lives. She had the biggest heart, the most beautiful smile, and a laugh that could brighten even the darkest days. Her love was genuine, her kindness came naturally, and anyone who had the blessing of knowing her was touched by the incredible person she was.

If you knew Chellee, you knew what a special soul she was. She loved with her whole heart and always made people feel welcome. Whether she had known you for years or had just met you, she had a way of making you feel like family. She found joy in making people laugh, lifting others up, and being there for the people she loved. The memories she gave us are gifts we will carry with us forever, and her love will continue to live on in each of our hearts.

Chellee's greatest joy in life was her family. She leaves behind her cherished children, Olivia Grace Medrano and Ryan Blue Madrid. She also leaves behind her fiancé, Sonny Lozano, whose unwavering love and dedication brought light into her life.

Chellee worked hard throughout her life and made friends everywhere she went. She spent over five years working at the hospital, where she cared for others with the same kindness and compassion she showed everyone in her everyday life. She also worked at Farlitos Mexican Restaurant and Casa Herrera, and later bartended at Vybz and MC's. No matter where she was, people were drawn to her. She had a way of making everyone laugh, making them feel welcome, and turning strangers into friends. Her coworkers became family, and the memories they shared with her will always be treasured. Chellee left a piece of her heart everywhere she went, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her was better because of it.

She is lovingly survived by her mother, Elsa Trevino; her brother, Jacob Enriquez and his wife, Jennalee Enriquez; her sister, Cassandra Renee Estrada and her husband, Alexander Estrada; David "Big Dog" Hedrick and wife Terri, who loved Chellee as their own daughter and became family through unconditional love; five beloved nieces and nephews; one precious great-niece; and her cousin, Melanie Garza, and her husband Bernie. Melanie was lovingly known to Chellee as "Melbunny". Melanie was so much more than a cousin-she was family in every sense of the word. She loved Chellee like a sister and, at times, was a guiding presence like an aunt. Their bond was built on unconditional love, countless memories, laughter, and unwavering support. Through every season of life, they were there for one another, and the love they shared was truly one of a kind. Melanie held a special place in Chellee's heart, and their bond will forever remain a cherished part of her story.

She also leaves behind countless aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who loved her deeply and will forever cherish her memory.

Chellee was preceded in death by her father, Richard Garcia, and her beloved son, Robert Madrid, whom we know welcomed her home with open arms.

Chellee's life was a reminder that even through hardship, love has the power to restore hope. She leaves behind a legacy of resilience, compassion, and a heart that loved deeply. Although her time with us was far too short, the impact she made on the lives of those around her will never be forgotten.

She was deeply loved by so many and will be profoundly missed every single day. Though our hearts ache in her absence, we find comfort in knowing that love never dies. Her beautiful spirit will continue to live on in every memory shared, every story told, and every heart she touched.

Our hearts will never be the same without you, but we promise to keep your memory alive through every story we tell, every laugh we share, and every moment we spend loving your children the way you always did. We will speak your name often, cherish the memories you gave us, and carry your love with us for the rest of our lives.

Until we meet again, we love you forever, Chellee.

*"Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard,
