Jada Savannah May

Jada Savannah May, age 26, a native of Merced, passed away on April 11, 2026. Born February 5, 2000, Jada will be remembered for a spirit that remained bright and uplifting—always happy, positive, and full of life—along with laughter that came easily and a heart that made room for others. She lived in Antioch, California, and carried with her the warmth of home and the steady presence of someone who brought light to the days of those around her.

Jada worked as a security guard, a role that reflected her dependable nature and quiet strength—showing up, staying attentive, and offering reassurance through calm vigilance and care.
