It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of June Horcasitas, affectionately known as "Peaches," on April 18th, 2024. June's unexpected departure has left a profound void in the lives of her loved ones.

June is survived by her parents, Edward and Barbara, her sisters Lisa, Bertha, and Kasandra, and her nephew Malakai. She is also remembered alongside her late brother, Edward, who passed away on July 30, 2023.

June bravely faced numerous health challenges over the years, particularly since a major health scare in 2015. Despite her resilience, she succumbed to sepsis and organ failure after enduring several months of pain leading up to her passing.

Born on June 25, 1980, June spent her formative years in San Lorenzo, California, before the family relocated to Dublin in 1993. She graduated from Dublin High School in 1998, and her passion for taking care of people in the medical field led her to pursue roles as a medical assistant and CNA throughout her 20s and 30s. June's selflessness shone brightly in her dedication to helping disabled adults and children, a career path she pursued with pride and compassion.

Following her health complications, June relocated to Nevada to recover. Though it was difficult to be so far away from her support system, she came to love the mountains and slower pace of Nevada and ultimately decided to make it her permanent home. She embraced new opportunities, finding employment with the local DMV, State unemployment office, and later, remotely with CVS. She loved learning and achieved many certifications. June's ambitious spirit and unwavering determination were a source of pride for her family.

June's warmth and passion touched the lives of everyone she encountered. A woman that loved everything and everybody. She cherished her connections with others and worked diligently to maintain them, especially after moving to Nevada. Her infectious laugh and vibrant personality endeared her to many, and her absence will be keenly felt. June had an endless capacity for sharing love and laughter. Her loss is already felt.

June had a zest for life that manifested in her love for food, parties, and music. She felt such joy making others happy, and this was evident in everything she touched. She was a dedicated foodie: she enjoyed cooking and having a good meal. Everything had to be picture-perfect, even if she was only plating for herself. Oftentimes, the conversations with her sisters in California would be “when I come visit I want to go eat at…….” Or “when you come up can you bring me ……” How we will miss those conversations.

June loved a good party! So much so that we believe that in another lifetime she was a professional event planner. She loved planning and executing; always looking for ways to make events seem lavish but with a personal touch. Every detail was considered as if the party was a love letter to the person it was celebrating. She was amazing like that! June wanted others to be happy even sometimes at the expense of herself. She was a giver and internalized all her feelings, sometimes to a fault. June was so very special, and many will strive now to be more selfless and loving like she was. Moving to Nevada reignited a love for nightlife and casinos. Oh, how she loved her slot machines! We will miss her speaking sweet nothings and rubbing them! Her entire being resonated with excitement for the possibilities of a win. When she did, she was always so selfless and showered friends and family with unexpected gifts. June paid extraordinary detail to people's likes and dislikes and it was a personal mission to find items that she knew they would just absolutely treasure — her gifts were always spot on!

June loved her music and loved to sing and dance. Just the mention of karaoke and her hips would start swaying. She spent hours playing Guitar Hero and could play a mean air guitar like no one else. In yet another lifetime, we think she was a superstar. She loved a microphone and really wanted a mic stand decorated with feathers just like Steven Tyler. She loved performing. She was unparalleled at imitating people. June felt such pleasure making her family and loved ones laugh.

Our dad absolutely loved her renditions of "Crimson and Clover" and "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." He will miss her lightness and her laughter. Above all, June was a cherished companion, especially to our mother. Their bond was unbreakable; they were inseparable. The memories of their adventures together will be cherished forever.

Though June and Eddie are now reunited, their absence leaves a void that cannot be filled. There is comfort knowing they are together and no longer in pain. Anyone who knew them understood how close they were and how much they loved each other. They would talk on the phone for hours at night, their laughter filling the house. Their legacies will live on through the stories shared with their nephew Malakai and the memories cherished by those who loved them.

Rest peacefully, dear Peaches. You will be deeply missed, but your light will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.
