Skyler Silvano Minella was born to the parents of Silvano Ralph Minella Jr and Christina Marie Minella. Skyler’s life was full of family and friends that loved him. He was a ray of sunshine that could brighten any room and had a laugh that was infectious. His hobbies that he enjoyed was going to the movies, building Legos, gaming with friends, listening to music, and playing with his dogs.
He leaves behind his mother and father Christina and Silvano Minella, Jr.; two grandmothers, Sherry Jeppson and Monica Valenzuela; a grandfather, Chuck Jeppson; and predeceased grandfather, Silvano R. Minella, Sr. He will be deeply missed by all.

When me and Skyler first met there was magic in the air, we had our first date at a movie theater we watched "Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings" while we were watching the movie I put my head on his shoulder and 1 minute later he kissed my head we looked at each other and smiled then we kissed for the first time after our first kiss we laughed and smiled then we watched the rest of the movie together, after the movie we were laughing joking around it was the best date ever

Skyler was one of the most special human beings I have ever had the pleasure to know. He was kind, conscientious, incredibly responsible, and so damn funny. The past ten or so years that I had the privilege to be Skye’s teacher have been an absolute honor. He was a true treasure, and I will miss him immensely. I will never forget the afternoons we spent together, as they were most often the best part of my day. I pray that all of the sweet memories you have help you through the coming days/months/years without him. So much love to your sweet family.
A beautiful young man. There shall never be another day of pain your way. Rest peacefully in God’s arms.
Our sincere condolences.
