With immense love and fond memories, we bid farewell to Jennifer Ortiz Euresti, a bright light in the lives of all who knew her. Born on May 3, 1980, in the beautiful shores of Honolulu, Hawaii, Jennifer's journey through life was one of passion, creativity, and unwavering faith. She departed this world far too soon on December 20, 2023, in Kyle, Texas, leaving behind a legacy of love and selflessness that will forever be etched in the hearts of her family and friends.
No cause of death reported.
Euresti “died suddenly.” From her son's Facebook:
I hope this message finds you well, although it comes with a heavy heart. My mother's unexpected passing has left our family grappling with funeral expenses we hadn't anticipated.

I have been following Mark Crispin Miller for around 2 years I think. At 1st I would read through all of the sudden, unexpected, heart attack, etc. victims to see what their ages were and how many were passing in ONE WEEK. It took a long time to get through them all. That has kept going EVERY WEEK since then. I started just looking at the size of the scroll down bar which indicates how many names there are--no change. Today I spent about the same amount of time that I use to spend on the entire list and I was only half way finished seeing them all. Holy Crap! This is getting scary. They should be dwindling big time because many people are afraid to take them now. This should be in the news just like a report on a WWIII would be in the news every day. More people are dying than from any prior war and we don't seem to notice (except Mark C Miller).
I am particularly shaken by the length of today’s list.
