Obituaries

KUCB publishes obituaries as a free service to our community. Obituaries are written and submitted by community members and are meant to share the news of a death and honor the life of a loved one.

We welcome obituaries that are respectful, accurate, and focused on the person being remembered. To keep this space supportive and community-centered, we do not publish content that includes advertising, fundraising requests, political advocacy, personal attacks, or graphic descriptions.

KUCB may make light edits for clarity, length, or style, and we reserve the right to decline submissions that don’t fit these guidelines.

To submit an obituary, please email the text and a photo to info@kucb.org. Obituaries are published free of charge, and timing may vary depending on staff availability.

In Loving (and Hilariously Unforgettable) Memory of Brendalyn S. Ferrer

Family of Brendalyn Ferrer

The world has lost a loyal friend, a loving sister and daughter, the absolute coolest and funniest aunt, and—let’s be honest—a karaoke queen who could out-sing half of Hollywood. Tita Brenda has officially taken her final adventure, heading off to the great beyond, where we’re sure she’s already making new friends, finding the best travel deals, and teaching the angels how to properly belt out a power ballad.
