Brandon Michael Angel Moya Obituary
Brandon Michael Angel Moya, age 22, of El Mirage, Arizona passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 19, 2021. Brandon was born August 5, 1999.
Alifelong Phoenix resident, Brandon attended Maryvale High School. He had big dreams, and loved listening to - and writing - music. He loved to draw and was quite good at it. He enjoyed spending most every summer with family in Maine: fishing, camping and hanging out with the many lifelong friends he made there. He would tell you that his biggest achievement though was the birth of his daughter, Aliyana, in 2018.
Brandon is survived by many who loved him: his beloved daughter Aliyana Moya and her mother Genesis Romero of Glendale, AZ; mother Kelly Ferreira of El Mirage, AZ; father Miguel Moya of Yuma, AZ; stepfather Benjamin Ferreira of Honolulu, HI; brother Mike Moya (and Cynthia) of Gilbert, AZ; stepbrothers Joseph and Benjamin Ferreira of Phoenix, AZ and Xris Borquez of San Tan Valley, AZ; grandparents Robert & Cindy Couture of Woodland, ME; grandfather Terry McEntee of Presque Isle, ME; grandmother Lucy Rondan and great-grandmother Victoria Vega of Queen Creek, AZ; godparents Suzane Baudoin and Ned Buckee of Scottsdale, AZ; special aunt & uncle Melanie & Carl Pratt of Caribou, ME and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Brandon was predeceased by his great-grandparents Dale & Linnea Helstrom of Perham, ME and grandmother Norma McEntee of Presque Isle, ME.
Brandon was smart and funny and kind and made friends easily. His smile was infectious and could light up a room. He is missed by so many.
