Born to Manuel and Anna Rodriguez of Oxnard, CA, Bree's fiery spirit, big personality, and beautiful heart entered this world on October 25, 1992. She spent her childhood years surrounded by family and friends, playing softball, going on camping trips and attending family parties.
When she was 10 years old our family moved to the Inland Empire area and over the years Bree was able to build closer bonds with our family members out here, and was blessed enough to make long lasting friendships with some of her now best friends. When she was just 16 years old she met her first and only love, Reynaldo Navarro. Together they created a beautiful little family with the addition of their two little boys, James (7) and Thomas (3) Navarro. Breanna was blessed to have gained a whole new family of inlaws (The Navarro family) and friends.
One of the many things we love about Bree is that she's always had such a vibrant spirit, always bringing so much love, energy and just overall color to our lives. She loved expressing herself through her hair and you'd often see her with hair colors such as red, green, purple, blue, orange... and that's just to name a few. She also had a love and passion for baking and was always the one making the treats for all of the family events. Something we hold dear to our hearts is the fact that she ALWAYS made everyone's birthday cakes. For her, the cakes represented us and were meant to make us feel seen, special and loved. She carried so much of that passion with all the cakes and treats she made. Over the past years she worked really hard to perfect her craft and became so good at what she did. She made us very proud.
To be loved by Bree was truly a blessing. She devoted herself to those she loved, especially her boys, nephews and nieces. To them she wasn't just Tia Bree, she was their biggest cheerleader, their backup, their support system, their Best Friend, their ChiChiNana.
She was the youngest of four siblings, the baby of our family, but she was also the heart and soul of us. She always fought so hard for us, because all she ever wanted was for the people she loved to feel loved, be happy, be the best versions of themselves, and to make sure to spend time together, creating lasting memories.
Breanna is survived by her mom and dad, Anna and Manuel Rodriguez; her partner of 14+ years, Reynaldo, and their two boys James and Thomas Navarro; her siblings Phylicia, Tammy (Raul) and Manuel, Jr (Maressa); her nephews Joshua, Joseph, Damian; her niece Joselyn and Goddaughter Anais. She will also be deeply missed as a granddaughter, niece, cousin, inlaw and best friend.
