Honoring the life of Lesa Hyde

It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the death of our Aunt Lesa.

On Monday, February 24, 2025, our family learned the tragic news that our Aunt Lesa had passed away. She will be remembered by her family as a loving mother and sister. She leaves behind two beautiful children, Brennan and Brecia and one grandson.

Brennan and his family have undergone extreme emotional and financial trauma over the past several months in their own family and the sudden, unexpected death of his mother has added another devastating piece. Brennan has been attending medical school in Washington, D.C., and is in his last semester before applying for residency. Early in 2024, Brennan found a large, hard mass on his body and was later diagnosed with cancer. He went in for an ultrasound, then surgery, then pathology, and CT results. Luckily, the cancer was treatable and has not spread.

Brennan and his wife, Alyson, welcomed their first-born child in December 2024. Shortly after the birth of their son, they had to take the baby into the ER. They thought he might have a respiratory illness, but they soon learned that their son has a heart defect and will require an aortic valve & repair down the road.

There are now numerous, unexpected costs associated with Lesa’s passing and the family needs help with the financial burden of cancer treatments, heart treatments for Brennan’s son, Lesa’s final arrangements, and travel expenses for Brennan to come back to Utah for services. We are reaching out to our community, friends, and extended family to ask for any support you can offer during this incredibly difficult time. Your financial contributions will go directly towards funeral expenses, including the service, burial, and memorial arrangements, allowing us to focus on remembering and celebrating Lesa’s life and allowing the family proper time to mourn.

Every bit of support is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to contribute, we kindly ask that you share this campaign with others who may be able to help.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, love, and support during this time of profound grief.

Thank you and God Bless!

If you prefer, you may donate directly to Alyson Cronquist through Venmo.
