Before
Lupita L. Zuniga
July 24, 2004 — January 28, 2026
Lupita was more than a name. She was a daughter, a mother, a sister, and someone deeply loved — full of dreams, full of life, with so much of her journey still ahead of her.
Lupita was more than a name. She was a daughter, a mother, a sister, and someone deeply loved — full of dreams, full of life, with so much of her journey still ahead of her.
Lupita's life was lost in the Delta-Mendota Canal, leaving her family searching for answers no one could give them in time.
That promise became a small, volunteer-run team of trained first responders — search, rescue, and dive recovery specialists who serve California families and the agencies that work alongside them. Ask any of them why, separately, and they say nearly the same thing: so that no family has to feel like they're facing it alone.
Lupita's legacy lives on in every family we serve, every life we honor, and every mission we carry out with love, dignity, faith, and purpose.
