Myah Alexa Jimenez

Our sweet girl Myah Alexa Jimenez, #mightymyah, earned her angel wings and was chosen by God to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven on October 31, 2021, at 5:55 PM into the arms of our savior and her daddy in heaven. Visitation: 12 to 8 p.m. Friday, November 5, 2021 at Divine Grace Church, 1310 S Carrier Parkway, Grand Prairie, TX, 75051 where Funeral Serivces will occur at 6:00 P.M. Graveside Service: 9 A.M. Saturday, November 6, 2021 at Grand Prairie Memorial Gardens. Myah is survived by her mother Yesenia Fuentes-Jimenez her siblings: Joshua Jimenez, Jasmine, Jose Jimenez Jr III. Maternal grandparents: Cristobal and Gladis Fuentes and numerous aunts, uncles, relatives, and friends who loved Myah very much! She is predeceased by her Dad: Jose Jimenez Ramirez II, and both fraternal grandparents: Jose Jimenez and Graciela Ramirez. By the young age of 12, she had already battled cancer twice, her second battle lasting a total of 657 days! We weren't ready to do life without her, but know that she is in a much better place. A place where she is free of pain, of heartaches, where her body has been restored and made simply perfect. She was an old soul living in a 12-year-olds body. Everyone always described her as acting older than her age. She loved coffee, cups, true crime shows & podcasts, sushi, and kitchen gadgets. She had her very own mini-fridge, ice maker, and coffee maker in her room! Tik-Tok making with her bestie Emily and scrolling were some of her favorite hobbies. She also enjoyed ballet as a child but as she got older decided to try sports instead. Softball was her favorite! Despite all the adversities she had faced in her life- losing Daddy to cancer, and now fighting it a second time, she was an absolute warrior enduring so much with so little complaint. Well...for those of us who got to see her sassy side, maybe just a tad bit more of complaining! To her very last days, she would make sure to tell me to "mom, get out of my face"- when I was basically on her face to make sure she was still breathing okay! She was my perfect mix of "sweet and sour"! She will forever stand in our hearts as a reminder of strength, perseverance, love, and the most compassionate God-driven little girl I've ever met! I remember she must have been 4 or 5 one time when we were at a red stop light and there was a homeless veteran man holding a sign. She took her offering money she was supposed to be giving at Sunday school (sorry Jesus, but you get it ! lol), and gave him a couple of dollars since I didn't have any cash. A few days later the same man, once again at the same stoplight was there and this time we had no cash. She was devastated we didn't have anything for him. Since we were on our way to the store she suggested we buy things for him there instead and make him a care package. So we did, per her request, we bought him socks, a blanket, snacks, toiletries, and a sweet note letting him know that Jesus loved him. She was so excited we had a big gift for him this time she asked me to roll down her window this time so she could give it to him. THIS was Myah! Always concerned for others even until her last days! Another example of this is how she prepared and left my birthday gift in a gift bag ready for me although my birthday isn't even until NOV 30th! About two weeks before she got very sick, she decided that she would go ahead and "get my bday stuff out of the way" (her words), so she could save up and the rest of the money on her debit card would be all for her! This was what she told me at least, I often wonder if there was a whisper in her heart that told her she might not be here by then! Nonetheless, this year, my most precious gift will come from heaven! Oh, how special that is, I cant wait to open it! I would like to take this time to thank everyone for all the love and support you have shown my little family over the years! I would also like to thank the doctors and staff ad Medical City Children's hospital in Dallas for taking care of my Myah For 11 years! A very special thank you to Dr. Maurizio Ghisoli for always taking my late-night text with a million questions and concerns! Also, to her home health team, her PT Alex, and nurse Audra- thank you for working so long with my sassy girl, I know you two got plenty of that! Finally, I would like to encourage us all to live and remember our Mighty Myah the way she would have wanted us to, in JOY in the lord knowing that one day we will see her again! She came to this life with a purpose! That purpose was completed in encouraging and motivating so many lives! She did WIN this battle just like her Daddy and now they both rest in paradise until we meet them again! This time with no pain in a very capable body of running, singing, eating all the cookies, and finding a reason to smile every single day! Fly high my sweet girl. You finally have your victory!
