Asia Marie Boatwright
Born on March 18, 1999, Asia Marie Boatwright was the first and only daughter of Melissa Gonzalez. From the time she was born, Asia warmed the hearts of her family, bringing them all joy. Sadly, her light was turned to darkness on April 28, 2021, by a drunk driver engaged in a high-speed chase by the California Highway Patrol. Asia was killed instantly upon impact, while her boyfriend, Ryan Davis, died shortly after the crash.
Asia graduated from Birmingham High School in 2017 and dreamed of becoming a nurse. She attended college courses at Pierce College while still in High School and continued after graduating. Following her passing, her mother learned of her acceptance to nursing school at LA Valley College. She never got to see that her hard work and dedication paid off. Undoubtedly, if given the chance, Asia would have accomplished all she set out to do. Her family will forever be proud of her.
Let Asia Marie's legacy be this: Time waits for no one. Don't wait to speak the words that need to be said. Love one another boldly. Make amends with others quickly. And most importantly, be fearless! We love you, Asia, and hope to see you again one day.
