It’s with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Candice Kristine Chavez. She had such a kindhearted spirit and would do anything and everything for anyone. Even when she didn’t have much to give, she would find a way to make people feel special. Through her struggles and pain, she lost her way, but God has found her and taken away her suffering. She was loved by so many, and will truly be missed, but will forever be in our hearts.

My deepest sympathy! I am so very sorry! Many prayers for the family!
My condolences to the Chavez/Witek family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
My auntie cc was an amazing personality that will never be forgotten she once said
“never give up on your dreams”
And because of that I will never give up on my dreams. She was there every moment she could and I will never forget her, I hope to see you when I go to heaven, not yet but in a few years. I love you cc have a great after life in heaven❤️
She had the heart of an angel, putting her problems to the side to try to help me and my kids. That was CC… she gave everything for those she loved. Those she couldn’t physically be there for she did get best to reach out no matter what. She confided a lot to me in the last 2 years, and I wish I had more time to try to be there for her in return. My family is in stitches crying over this. My girls called her nanny… when she found out about my home situation, she moved in with me to help me with my girls and fight to get out of an abusive relationship. She helped save me and my girls in the long run… my daughter’s saw me crying and told me she’s still here. My 10 year old said she talked to her and she’s happy she can see everyone now to watch over them. Breaks my heart that my girls wanted to visit her so badly but my divorce made it hard to get there. I love you so much CC, you deserve only the best… you can now rest in peace and let go of your fears.
Words can explain how much I’m going to miss you.
Sandy and Madi, I love you both and my heart breaks for the loss your family is experiencing. I’m always here to talk.
My prayers and condolences are with the family, May you all be comforted in God’s love and Grace.

Condolences to the many who loved her so here. Yet there are so many on the other side who loved her and were there to welcome her to her final home. Though there is so much pain left for those who love her, she Is free of pain and troubles forever.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. May your heart be filled with precious memories and love.
Dear Candice,
I still don’t know what to say. I feel like it’s selfish for me to even speak about how I’m feeling because I know that your mom is in so much pain, your daughter, Kate, your whole family your friends. It’s just so sad you’re gone. I hope you know how much you have touched the lives of so many around you. All of my memories of growing up have you in them. I remember you telling Kate and I how you don’t fart and I remember thinking to myself I want to grow up to be just like her. I remember those cold winter nights when you would sneak out and Kate and I would stay up all night to make sure the door stayed open so you could get back in. I remember your laugh, your smile, the way you smelled like Victoria secret love spell perfume, I even remember going to the mall every Christmas and buying the same Perfume for myself so I could smell just like you. I hope you knew how much you meant to my mom and my sister too. You passing has really put a hole in our hearts and we would wish nothing more than to be with your family right now. I know more than ever that you are loved and now happy. I know that I will miss you but I know I will also see you again. How I imagine you right now is sitting on a cloud with sunshine behind you with your beautiful smile and Holly sitting right next to you and you saying “Jeeennnniiiifffffferrrr” 😆.
You are one I will never forget, I’ve loved and laughed and cried with. My family my sister my friend💕
