Tifani Jizelle Cuevas-Leon

Tifani Cuevas-Leon, age 23, a native of Orlando, FL, and a resident of Pass Christian, MS, passed away on April 6, 2025, leaving behind a void that words cannot begin to express. Her life, though far too short, was filled with light, creativity, laughter, and love.

Tifani was preceded in death by her beloved father, Eduardo Leon; her grandfather, Eduardo Leon, Sr.; her grandmother, Miriam Carvajal, her great-grandfather, Zealius Stockstill Jr. and her uncle, Jonathan Wayne Stockstill.

She is survived by her devoted mother and best friend, Rebecca Cuevas, her sisters, Destiny Cuevas-Leon, Courtney Kuntzi (Josh Kuntzi) and her sweet niece, Juniper, Hannah Cuevas and her beloved nephew Kai; she is also lovingly remembered by her maternal grandparents, Debbie and Danny Cuevas; her great-grandparents, Newell and Beverly Blankenship; her aunts, Beverly, Carrie, Ericka, Lucy, Yisenia, and Chana; her uncles, Junior, John, and Francis; her cousins, Chelsea, Jilian, Brittany, Kelsie, Bailey, Sheyanne, Kaylah, Nadine, Osiana, Bethany, and numerous other cousins and family who adored her deeply, and friends that cherished her.

Tifani had recently been hired to work at the new Buc-ee’s, and she was excited about the future and the new beginnings it held. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her dreams were just beginning to unfold.

Her passions were as vibrant as her spirit. She found joy in music, photography, and painting. Nature was her sanctuary- she loved the beach, gazing at the stars, road trips, and quiet moments with her dogs. Whether she was at the gym, behind a camera lens, or laughing with family and friends, Tifani radiated warmth and laughter.

There are no words to fully capture the sorrow of losing Tifani. She took pieces of our hearts with her, and while her absence is deeply felt, her presence remains with us – in the songs she loved, the sunsets she admired, the laughter shared with those she loved, and the compassion and love she so freely gave.

We will love her forever, miss her always, and carry her spirit with us every day. This is not goodbye. We cannot wait to see our beautiful angel again someday.

Visitation will be on Saturday, April 12, 2025, beginning at 12:00 PM at Riemann Family Funeral Home, Pass Christian. The funeral service will begin at 3:00 PM in the funeral home chapel.

Riemann Family Funeral Home, Pass Christian, is honored to serve the family.
