Ariel Dianne Brzycki
In Loving Memory of Ariel Dianne Brzycki
Sunrise: July 21, 1991
Sunset: October 20, 2025
Ariel Dianne Brzycki was a fierce and radiant soul whose journey on this earth ended far too soon. On October 20th, 2025, she passed away from a fentanyl overdose, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and deep complexity. Though addiction marked a part of her path, it does not define her story. Ariel is now free and no longer bound by pain or struggle and is resting in the arms of the Lord, embraced by eternal peace.
She is survived by her beloved son, Thomas Edward, whose life continues to be lovingly nurtured by his father, Jay Eckard. Ariel’s memory lives on in the hearts of her devoted mother Rebecca Brzycki, her aunts Rachel and Regina, her cherished grandmother Juanita Jukas, her father figure Robert Fitz and a wide circle of family who carry her spirit forward.
She was preceded in death by her cherished PopPop, Edward Brzycki, whose passing in January of this year reunited him with the angels who now welcome her home.
Ariel was more than the battles she faced. She was a beautiful daughter, a mother, a niece, a granddaughter and a woman with dreams, humor, art, love, and a heart that longed for peace and connection with this world. Her story is one of resilience and redemption, and her final chapter is one of release: from suffering into grace.
We remember Ariel not only for the pain she endured, but for the love she gave, the lessons she taught, and the light she leaves behind.
May her soul soar freely and may those who loved her find comfort in knowing she has entered her heavenly home, where love has no end.

MY FIRST GRANDCHILD, ALWAYS LOVED BY ME. I TRIED TO BE AS GOOD A GRANDMA AS I COULD FOR HER. TRIED TO BE A MENTOR. I AM SORRY I COULD NOT KEEP HER FROM SUFFERING IN LIFE. I KNOW SHE BELIEVED IN GOD AND IS IN HEAVEN WAITING FOR ME WITH HER GRANDPA ED. i CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE BOTH OF THEM UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN IN PARADISE. WHERE WE WILL FEEL ONLY THE LOVE OF GOD, ETERNAL UNDYING LOVE. FOR GOD SO LOVED THE HUMAN RACE, HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO SUFFER. BE CRUCIFIED AND DIE FOR OUR SINS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN. i MISS YOU MY BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTER & WILL EVEN UNTIL MY FINAL BREATH.
You were always there for me, and your laugh echoes in my head when I think of you. You were such a beautiful human and you made a huge impact on my life. You’re so beautiful, I love you, fly high girl.
I will always remeber you as the bright beautiful love caring women I had the pleasure of hanging out with threw our days of youth threw high school and on. You were a loving caring person who made everyone around you smile. Let the angels in heaven be dancing with you and let God be your father to peace. I will never forget you. My heart aces thinking that I can no longer see your smile. But that you are in peace and that one day I will see that smile. I will hear that laugh. I will see those big beautiful eyes that stare so bright into one’s soul. Now everytime your name is spoken I will make sure a good memory comes to mind and is spoken with love. I love you so much my friend and I will see u again in heaven one day 💛
I’ll never forget the first time I met Ariel. I had asked her if I could join her friend group since I was new to the area. She took me in and under her wing and made sure I was well taken care of. We grew such a strong bond that even when I moved away, we kept in touch with regular video chats and phone calls every here and there. She was a very strong and beautiful woman. Always a leader to many of us and a pillar in our small community of friends. She will truly be missed. My deepest condolences. 💐
Fly high beautiful! Growing up with you was a gift I’ll always cherish! Love you always Ariel! ❤️
