It is with unimaginable sorrow and heavy hearts that we remember the life and spirit of Aubrey Wagner, a cherished member of our Youth 2.1 Stargazers and beloved part of the LA community. Aubrey’s sudden and heartbreaking passing has left us in a place of deep grief, disbelief, and overwhelming sadness. Her absence is felt in every corner of our hearts — by her teammates, her friends, her coaches, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Though quiet in her presence, Aubrey’s light was undeniable. It radiated in ways that words can hardly express — through her gentle smile, her infectious laugh, and the quiet but powerful joy she carried into every room she entered. Aubrey may not have always been the loudest voice in the crowd, but once you truly saw her, you couldn’t help but feel the warmth and beauty of her spirit.
A dedicated and passionate cheerleader, Aubrey brought grace, discipline, and pure heart to every practice and performance. Her love for the sport wasn’t just about the routines or the competitions — it was about the community, the bonds, the shared experiences, and the joy of being part of something bigger than herself. Whether she was lifting up a teammate with kind words or giving it her all during a routine, Aubrey embodied everything we strive for in Youth 2.1: compassion, commitment, and courage.
But beyond the cheer mat, Aubrey was a dear friend, a loyal teammate, and a true bright spot in the lives of those around her. Her friendship was a gift — sincere, steady, and comforting. She had a way of making others feel safe, included, and important. Those who knew her well describe her as genuine, kind-hearted, and full of life, with an inner strength that inspired those around her.
At LA, we were blessed to watch Aubrey grow not only as an athlete but as a person — sharing laughs, lifting each other through challenges, and creating memories that we will hold close forever. We are truly grateful for the time we had with her, however short it may feel. In that time, Aubrey touched lives in a way that will never be forgotten. Her legacy is not only in the routines she performed or the friendships she formed, but in the kindness she shared and the love she gave so effortlessly.
As a community, we come together now in mourning — holding each other close, supporting one another, and remembering Aubrey with all the love and reverence she deserves. To her family, we extend our deepest condolences. Please know that Aubrey will forever be a part of our story — her memory woven into every cheer, every team huddle, and every heart she touched at Youth 2.1.
In the days to come, we will continue to honor her memory through our actions, our unity, and our love — carrying forward her light in all that we do.
