April Melissa Walewski

1969 - 2025

April Walewski, 55, a devoted mother and passionate dog lover, passed away at her home in Park City, Utah, on January 15, 2025. Born on September 8, 1969, in Gridley, California. April spent the majority of her childhood in Saratoga, California, before settling in Los Gatos, California, as an adult. She dedicated her life to her family, especially her two beloved children, Christian and Corey, as well as her two surviving dogs, Kloski and Draco.

A loving and selfless mother, April always strived to provide her children with the best possible life. Her love for animals began early, with her first horse sparking a passion that led her to compete in reining events across the United States, earning numerous awards that stand as a testament to her dedication and skill.

April was never one to shy away from a challenge. She balanced her love for competition with personal achievements, including completing triathlons and marathons, all while pursuing her degree from the University of Phoenix and raising two children. Throughout her life, she faced obstacles head-on, never once complaining, but instead tackling each challenge with determination.

April is survived by her two children, Christian and Corey, and her beloved dogs, Kloski and Draco. A small family gathering was held to celebrate her remarkable life and legacy. Close friends and family were invited to join in honoring the incredible woman she was. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you remember the many joyful moments April shared with us all, and encourage you to reach out to others who knew her to celebrate the gifts of love, kindness, and joy she gave so generously.
