Mehki Saenz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Eastlake Mortuary - Phoenix on Mar. 17, 2026.
Celebrating the life of Mehki Marcelo Saenz

Mehki Marcelo Saenz was born on November 28, 2007,and passed February 28th 2026 at the precious age of 18 years old, and in his short time on this earth, he left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Mehki was a young man with big dreams, determination, and a spirit that refused to be broken. Though his life began with many challenges, he faced every obstacle with resilience, holding his head high and pushing forward even when the path was difficult. Those who knew Mehki admired his strength, his heart, and his ability to keep going when others might have given up.

He was an upcoming event host and promoter who loved bringing people together and creating moments people could enjoy. Mehki was also working toward becoming a barber, a craft he took pride in as he developed his skills cutting hair for those around him. His ambition and work ethic reflected his desire to build something meaningful for himself and his future.

Outside of work and goals, Mehki had many passions. He enjoyed gaming, playing sports-especially football and basketball-and expressing himself through jewelry and fashion. He also loved exploring new places to eat and spending time out with friends and loved ones, always looking for new experiences and good memories to share.

Family meant everything to Mehki. From a young age, one of the things closest to his heart was the hope of bringing his siblings closer together again. Even in the midst of building his own life, he was actively working toward making that dream a reality. His love and loyalty to family never wavered.

He Is survived by his adoptive mother Cidni Zeigler, his brother Marcelo and Zion Saenz, his birth parents Whitney Zeigler and Marcelo Saenz Sr. His loving girlfriend Georgina Love Richardson, and a multitude of cousins, family and friends too numerous to name, all whom loved him deeply.

Though his life was far too short, Mehki's spirit, determination, and love for the people around him will never be forgotten. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, in the laughter he shared, the dreams he chased, and the love he gave so freely.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Long live baby K
