In a joint Instagram post with wife Felicia, the couple shared: “With deep sorrow, we announce the unexpected passing of our daughter and sister, Emman.” They described her as a soul “full of joy, laughter, and love,” someone who “made people feel seen, heard, and valued.”

The Atienzas did not disclose the cause of her passing, choosing instead to focus on how she lived — with courage and authenticity.
