Kaiden Marie Pacheco

We love our daughter Kaiden Marie Pacheco who was granted her angel wings on February 18, 2016, after a two year long struggle with cancer. Although she was only months away from the age of ten, she brought a lifetime of joy to us and to all who knew her.

Kaiden attended Elim Elementary School in Hilmar. She loved going to school and organizing her school supplies. She helped with organizing the

Miracles for Matthew Fund fundraising event. She spent hours making videos and preparing to be a movie star with her sister Karagyn. She got her wish

to see Austin & Ally at Universal Studios. She visited Disneyland, Medieval Times, and vacationed with us in Cancun. We wanted to fill her short life

with a multitude of experiences so that ever after she would find joy in whatever she encountered throughout eternity. She gave us all such courage and hope and reminded us of the preciousness of life. We will be forever grateful for the opportunity we were granted to have her in our lives. We are spiritually stronger because of her. Kaiden is survived by her adoring parents, Paul and Stephanie Pacheco of Hilmar, California; her vivacious sister, Karagyn; paternal grandparents Fernando and Maria Albertina Pacheco; maternal grandparents Candy Menezes, and Tony Menezes; maternal great grandparents Elsie and Russell Straits along with countless other family and friends.

Visitation will be Thursday, February 25 from 2-5pm at Whitehurst-Norton-Dias, 286 West Main, Turlock with Rosary services at 7pm, at Holy Rosary Church, 8471 Cypress St, Hilmar. Funeral Mass will be Friday, February 26th at 10am also at Holy Rosary Church. Kaiden loved the color turquoise; the family encourages all attending her services to wear the color in her honor.
