Alyssa Cantu

Alyssa Nicole Cantu, 20, of League City, Texas passed unexpectedly on September 17, 2021.

She was born on July 10, 2001 in Nassau Bay, Texas to Arturo and Katharine Cantu.

Alyssa was preceded in death by her grandparents Neal and Libby Dollar; uncle Tom Dollar and aunts, Sherry Dollar, Traci Dollar and Diana Cantu.

She is survived by her parents Arturo and Katharine Cantu; sister, Briana Cantu; brothers, Joshua Cantu and Jesse Cantu and his partner Ashlyn Born; nieces, Emma and Layla Cantu; grandparents, Daniel and Paulina Garcia; uncles and aunts, Harry and Rene Dollar, John and Laurie Dollar, Chuck and Peggie Cantu, Herb Cantu, Jovita Cantu, Larry Cantu, Danny and Melissa Garcia, Evaristo and Diana Nunez, Johnny and Erika Garcia, Adrian and Angie Jackson and Jesus and Katie Garcia; as well as numerous cousins and friends.

Alyssa was a beautiful young woman with a smile that lit up the room.  She enjoyed spending time with family, especially with her sister Briana and her two nieces Emma and Layla. Alyssa was never one to be defeated by adversity, she rose and overcame every obstacle in her path. No matter what she had going on in her life she was always there for anyone who needed someone to confide in. Her unconditional love towards family and friends was undeniable. Life is fragile; all it takes is a single moment to change everything. Always cherish the time you have with the people you love because tomorrow is not promised. The tragic loss of Alyssa has left a void in our world that will never be filled.

  10. My heart is breaking for the entire family, I am so sorry for your loss. Alyssa was the sweetest, kindness and a loving young lady. I have so many wonderful memories of coaching her for the Rockettes. I loved how she would roll her eyes when Brianna or Kirsten would say something that she felt was inappropriate or just silly. Then we would laugh and move on. She grew into a beautiful young lady. Sending all my Love, Hugs and sympathy at this difficult time. Alyssa will always hold a special place in my heart.
