In a heartbreaking series of events, two beloved social media influencers—Hannah Moody and Valeria Marquez—tragically passed away in May 2025. Their stories, though vastly different, have stirred deep sorrow among fans and reignited conversations around safety, faith, and digital legacy.
Hannah Moody: A Voice of Faith Silenced Too Soon
Known online as Hannah Rose, 31-year-old Hannah Moody was a beacon of hope and faith, inspiring thousands through her Christian-centered hiking videos. Her last Instagram post, filmed in the Arizona sun, shared a powerful reflection on gratitude and faith:
“There can always be something positive in every situation, if you just look for it 😇” — Romans 8:28
Tragically, she was found dead on May 22, 2025, near Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve—just days after that hopeful message. Despite an extensive multi-agency search, her body was discovered 600 yards off the main trail. Authorities reported no signs of foul play, and investigations continue.
Moody’s final video, titled “HIKES W/ HAN | Part 1”, now carries a haunting resonance. Fans flooded her profile with tributes, remembering her as a “light in the world” and a “true follower of Christ.”
Valeria Marquez: Beauty Influencer Killed On Camera
Just a week earlier in Mexico, 23-year-old beauty entrepreneur and influencer Valeria Marquez was fatally shot during a TikTok livestream at her Zapopan salon. The chilling incident shocked her 16,000+ followers.
She had stepped away to receive a package—a stuffed animal—only to be gunned down moments later. A woman ended the stream seconds after, sparking theories ranging from jealous ex-partners to cartel-related violence. Authorities are now investigating the case as a possible femicide.
Marquez was known for her talent, charm, and growing brand Blossom, the Beauty Lounge. Her final posts, featuring a vibrant photoshoot, showcased a woman confident in her craft and identity.
A Sobering Reminder of Life’s Fragility
Both women left behind powerful digital footprints. Hannah Moody’s spiritual reflections and Valeria Marquez’s creative ambition will continue to inspire. Their untimely deaths serve as stark reminders of the unpredictability of life and the lasting impact of authenticity and purpose.
