Renee Nicole Good, lovingly known by her family as “Nae Nae,” is being remembered as a bright presence whose warmth touched everyone around her. The 37-year-old Minneapolis mother of three is being mourned by brother pictured here, other siblings, her parents, children, and extended family, who say the loss has left a space that cannot be filled.

In a statement shared with media, Good’s family thanked the community for the overwhelming support they have received, noting that the kindness shown reflects the same care and compassion Renee gave freely throughout her life. They described her as a “beautiful light” who brought joy, love, and encouragement wherever she went.
