With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Brianna Alysea Valadez of Dallas, Texas, who tragically lost her life in a car accident on July 25, 2025, in Oak Cliff. She was only 22 years old.
Brianna was a proud graduate of Sunset High School in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, where she earned her high school diploma through the NAF Academy of Health Science. Known for her kindness, intelligence, and fierce determination, Brianna had long dreamed of becoming a neonatal nurse. Her passion for caring for others and her love for babies fueled her goal of entering the medical field — a dream she pursued with commitment, hope, and heart.
In her own words, Brianna once shared:
“I have big dreams and hopes. With hard work and dedication, I will accomplish my goals.”
That drive, coupled with her gentle spirit, left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
Brianna was also known for her strong friendships and loving nature. She shared an unbreakable bond with her best friend Thalia Salinas, who also passed away in the same accident, along with three other close friends. Their friendship was a sisterhood built on laughter, loyalty, and endless memories.
Her aunt, Maria Valadez, expressed the family’s pain and love with a heartbreaking message:
“My beautiful niece R.I.P Brianna Alysea Valadez.”
Brianna’s death has left an immense void in the lives of her family, friends, classmates, and all who had the honor of knowing her. She was a daughter, a niece, a friend, and a dreamer — taken far too soon.
Service details will be shared once they are finalized. In this time of unimaginable loss, the Valadez family is grateful for the outpouring of love and support.
Rest in peace, Brianna. May your dreams live on in the hearts of those you inspired.
