Alyssa Brooke Silvers, age 25, Johnson City, TN passed away Sunday, October 12, 2025, at home after a lengthy illness. She was born December 14, 1999 and was the loving daughter of David & Patricia Tweed Silvers, Jonesborough.
Those left to cherish her memory along with her parents is her “Everything” Francisco Paco Carranza (who loved her and took amazing care of her during their 10 years together), brother and sister-in-law Cody & Summer Silvers, Tiger Creek, her “Mini-me” niece Dixie Silvers, paternal Mamaw Billie Janette Silvers, Jonesborough, maternal Mamaw Patsy McKee, Limestone, paternal great-aunts Sue Silvers, Wanda Shell (Ronnie), paternal great-uncle A. J. Silvers (Brenda), maternal aunts and uncles Donna Payne (Henry), Cynthia Honeycutt (Mike), Vivian Pierce (uncle Wayne), maternal great-aunt Marie Weiss, maternal great-uncle Verlin Bennett, and several cousins and friends (some medical professional friends made during her lifetime illness and treatments/hospital stays).
She was preceded in death by her paternal great-grandparents Austin & Marjorie Riddle Silvers, maternal great-grandparents Eugene & Lena Rustin Ball Tweed, Everett & Leona Phillips McKee, papaw Dennis “Butch” Tweed and wife Shirley Slagle Tweed, mother-in-law Dianna Carranza, maternal aunt Valeria Tweed, special great-aunt Shirley McKee Bennett, special great-aunt Martha Phillips Turner.
Alyssa was always willing to help anyone in need even when she was the one struggling. She was always ready to go when someone would say “let’s go”...and after she started driving, she would be the one to say “let’s go” to Paco, Dixie, family, friends. So it’s no surprise that she answered God’s call when HE said, “Let’s go!”. Her family and friends will surely miss this little gal and her spunk, but are so happy for her that she’s not suffering anymore, not trying to put on a smile for those around so they don’t see how much pain she is in. She finally is able to take a deep breath in and out and not have a coughing episode. We can just picture her running through Heaven hugging Jesus and all her loved ones gone before. She was really missing her papaw Tweed there at the end so we’re sure she found him and had the biggest smile on her face as she was able to wrap her arms around him and give him a hug again after all these years! We will always love and miss this sweet, young lady that God only gave us only for a short while. But in the short time we had her here with us, she touched all of our lives for the better.
May we all ask Jesus in our hearts and lives so that we have the hope of being with our loved ones again one day in Glory!

Alyssa will always hold a special place in my heart. She always brought sunshine to our floor when she was a patient with us. Lots of fun times, even when she felt so bad, she always managed a smile! She will be missed. Hugs and love to you all.
Alyssa was such a bright light-always smiling, sweet and strong through everything she faced. She was smart with a great sense of humor. I'm so glad she and Paco had each other not only for love, but as best friends. Patricia, David and Paco
My heartfelt sympathy for your loss.

Gril we love and miss you so much! Your entire family was blessed to have been part of your life. Heaven has just gained another angel! Say hello to the rest of the family for us and give them a big hug for us all! I remember picking you up to stay the night and baby sitting you when you were young and all those visits to you when you were sick. Your momma is a fighter and has always been by your side through it all to make sure you was always ok but you are an even bigger fighter to fight the battle you did with your illness for 25 long years. You are Gods soldier and although younger than me I look up to you for that. You are such a sweet girl and are always remembered for all the laughs and the love you gave. I remember when you would spend the night with papaw and everyone would come to the house just to hang out for a while, we’d talk about everything going on in life, reminisce and sing together for a while or go to church. As you got older you’d stop by just to check in how me and the kids are doing and have a jam session or just hang out. The kids enjoyed playing music for you when you’d visit. For me my last memory isn’t your illness it was the last time I visited and you came to chill with us and we all Jammed together with cousin Travis having a good time together. Seeing you laugh and have fun. God has got a wonderful group of our family in heaven and I know you are no longer suffering or in pain my girl! You have always been like my kid before I was old enough to have my own kids & I miss you terribly! Tell Trav get the band ready till we meet again! ❤️ love you!!

Our sweet Alyssa....Even though I know you are in no more pain and can breathe easier and sing without coughing I cry. Not because you are in heaven because it will be awhile before I see you again. I will miss you everyday until we are together again. I'll never eat biscuits and gravy or see or drink a dr pepper without thinking of you. I loved you my sweet cousin. I wont say good bye just see you soon. Please watch over us all until we are together again. Hold it down until I get there. We are all going to the same place you just beat us there.
So sorry to hear this prayers and thoughts for the family
I know your laughing your butt off right now at me for putting gril instead of girl! I can hear your laugh from heaven! Grriilll lol I love you! ?
