ALAYNA BRYNN FITCH
April 1, 2013 – July 14, 2024
Born on April 1, 2013 in Omaha, NE Alayna Brynn arrived on her own terms. Alayna had a super-sized personality. Her smile lit every room; her laugh brought joy; her energy was contagious; her struggle was admirable; her determination emulated; and every friendship so valuable.
Alayna attended Liberty Elementary (K-2) and Crestridge Elementary (3-5) graduating in May 2024. She spent June preparing to transition to Beveridge Middle this fall. At school, she played the violin and trumpet and sang in the chorus. She was recently learning how to drum, play the piano, and the ukulele – making up songs without dropping a beat.
Movement was one of Alayna’s love languages. She bounced, flipped, danced, and rolled through each day. The trampoline was used regularly. She enjoyed Jazz dance classes and tried to recreate many of the trending tictok videos. Alayna was a member of the Sharks swim team, ice skated with the Nebraska Skating Academy, and could proficiently manipulate a bicycle, pogo stick, scooter, pair of roller blades, or skates.
A few of her favorite things include: a beloved pink blanket, a daily snuggle wuggle, or an impromptu dance with her dog. She was quick and adaptive with technology. Alayna was often on her phone or looking for it! She communicated with friends, recorded hundreds of videos, loved to play with filters, or listen to audio stories at bedtime.
Alayna is survived by her parents, Mark and Beth Fitch; sisters, Amanda (Joel) Thiessen, Maria, Alyssa, and Leanna Fitch; nephew and niece, Gabriel and Elianna Thiessen; grandfathers, Jesse Fitch and Larry Brandt; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and special friends.
Alayna loved big. She lived a full life in eleven years. God called her home July 14, 2024. Her family is so very thankful for the gift of getting to call her ours. As an organ and tissue donor, she provided hope to others. Our hero’s light continues to shine.

Oh, please know that I have been carrying you in my thoughts and prayers. I have sweet, vivid memories of Alayna throwing me a glance with a soft smile as she would leave the school.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I was a classmate of Alayna’s at Crestridge. She would always make people laugh and she always had a smile on her face. Me and my family are keeping your family in our thoughts now and in the future.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
So sad Alayna has left us. Alayna is sharing her beautiful spirit in heaven. Being outside and working in the yard, one house away, I will miss hearing her giggle and laugh playing outside. Alayna’s path crossed my path God planned or us. I will always be grateful for that God Bless
So young & so tragic..I didn’t know Alayna yet & still I prayed for her at the accident..My Heart is with Everyone who grieves for her…I know she’s in Heaven, I BELIEVE SHE WAS 1 of A Kind & Will be Missed Dearly.
Alayna was so smiley, respectful, funny, or deep in thought. She was a positive influence on those she was around. I’m so sorry that she is gone. Continuing to pray for you all.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Alayna will always be remembered for her sweet smile and her infectious laughter.
Sending you love and support during this sad time.
There are no words to express my sadness at your great loss. It sounds like she was loved so deeply and lived quite a wonderful life in 11 years. She was very musical and I can imagine the beautiful music and how wonderful heaven is for her surrounded by hosts of angels singing to the Savior the Lord of Lords. Prayers, love, and hugs.
Sending love and sympathy in the earthly loss of your dear daughter so suddenly. May the precious memories that you each have ease the sorrow. Trust the funeral service will be a blessing to saint and sinner.

I was fortunate enough to know Alayna as her music teacher at Liberty and Crestridge. She was so sweet, vibrant, silly, and a wonderful musician. She will be missed but certainly not forgotten. My deepest condolences are with the family. Wishing you peace and comfort during this time.
Alayna and I were in the same class in fifth grade. We were also part of the cast for Finding Nemo. She was a good friend and I miss her.
I had the pleasure of getting to know Alayna during summer school at Beveridge. I will miss her warm hugs and her kind heart. My condolences to your family.
Dear Mark and Beth and all the family.
We don’t have words to express how painful this loss must.be for you.
So we are simply letting you know that we sorrow with you

When I found she was gone I was in shock and didn’t believe it. I thought about her the whole time just remembering her simile and her laugh. But I just keep reminding myself that she is in a better place ❤️
I will miss her so much I only knew through summer school but I could tell she was a great person. 💕
