Zekiyah was a spunky 1st grader that was full of life and imagination. I was so glad to reconnect with her earlier this school year and to see how happy she was and hear about her plans for the future and to see how much she loved what she was doing. Her smile and laugh were always contagious.

Z was such a positive light in everyone's life, she always made me smile and made my days better. she was one of those people that you could never forget, her eccentric personality and bright purple aesthetic is something that sticks with you. it was an absolute honor to work with her on films and be her friend, and i truly wish we were able to have more time to get closer and make more memories together. i miss you so so much, i'll miss the bright energy you brought to my life. i love you...

Z was actually one of the nicest, most caring, most loving, funniest human being I’ve ever met. She never failed to make me laugh or smile whenever I saw her. I’m really glad we got the chance to work on film sets together and become friends. I’m going to miss you, your amazing energy, your jokes, your smile, everything. I love you so much Z and I’m so grateful I’ve had the chance to call you my friend.

Z was just genuinely one of the best people I've ever met. She was a treasure. She was so funny and made me laugh everytime I was around her. Her humor was unmatched and her energy just shined a light on everyone who entered her life. She is a glowing star. She was smart and kind to everyone she met. She had this passion for life no matter how hard things got. She had so much empathy and compassion for everyone she came across. She always made sure everyone felt included. She made people so...

She was always happy to be around people. Her smile made everyone say even if you was having an off day. She made my boys happy to see her whenever she came over with my sister Sophia Jensen. She will be deeply missed by us and I wish this family nothing but happy thoughts and prayers be with them always.

She is such a beautiful young woman who’s life has ended way to early. I did not know “Z”, but she sounds like she is an amazing person. My condolences to all.

Zekiyah, also known as Z or Izzy to many, passed away suddenly at 11:47 AM on March 06, 2024 in her home in South Jordan, Utah.
Izzy's magnetic energy and determination were unmatched. She would not allow a diagnosis of epilepsy at a young age to stop her from achieving her goals and dreams. Her goal was to become a Special Education Teacher.
She found and saw great value in helping others when she began volunteering at an after-school program, babysitting kids so their parents could achieve their goals (e.g., Work or pursue higher education).
On her way to graduating top of her class at East Hollywood High, her dream was all in the name, HOLLYWOOD! She loved to sing and dance and perform and was determined to let the world know!
Z was always encouraged to shoot for the moon but aim for the stars. Now, she shines bright in the stars for all to see.
