In Loving Memory of Erika Teves-Valdez

Erika "EJ" Teves-Valdez was full of life, happiness and laughter. On February 22, 2022, the lives of her precious family changed forever when Erika gained her angel wings way too soon in a tragic helicopter accident at the Pacific Missile Range Facility.

Erika loved everyone she encountered, and her beautiful family was the absolute center of her world. Her wife Naomi Teves-Valdez and children Caleb (7) and Amara (5) are going through a heartache that no one should have to experience. We, the family and friends of the Teves-Valdez 'Ohana, have created this gofund me to alleviate some of the financial obligations that they will encounter. Any help received will allow Naomi the time she so needs to heal and embrace her children as they try to find their way forward after such an unexpected and unfathomable loss.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your endless amounts of prayers and love shown to the family. Hold on to your loved ones and do as Erika always did...Live your lives full of love, never hesitate to say "I Love You," make precious memories and smile......
