We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Crystal Self, 2026 Rainbow Warrior. Crystal faced a battle that no one should ever have to face, and she did so with incredible strength, wit, and an unwavering love for her family. Her mom, daughter, niece, and nephew meant everything to her and gave her the strength to keep fighting, even on the hardest days.
Even while fighting her own battle, Crystal took the time to check in on her fellow Rainbow Warriors, offering love, encouragement, and support. In just the few short months since joining the Warriors, she formed a special bond with them and left a lasting place in their hearts.
Crystal will be deeply missed by her Rainbow Warrior family. We are grateful to have known her, honored to have fought alongside her, and we will carry her memory with us always. 🌈❤️
