Hiking influencer Hannah Moody was honored by her loved ones in a social media tribute months after her death at age 31.
“For Hannah’s followers who may not have heard, Hannah went to be with the One she loved in Heaven this past May,” the Instagram caption read, which was shared on Monday, August 11, via Moody’s official account. “She died doing what she adored — hiking the Arizona mountains. Know that you were all precious and loved by her and that she would want nothing more than for each of you to find Jesus and to know His great goodness and love for you.”
The statement concluded, “We miss Hannah terribly, but we know she is in a place so beautiful that this earth pales in comparison. Rest in His peace, sweet girl; we’ll see you on the other side. .”
Alongside the post, the later influencer’s account shared a photo of her looking off into the distance while on a hike. “Hannah Rose. 1993 – 2025,” the text read.

Moody was found dead on May 22 near the Gateway Trailhead of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Our investigation will be in cooperation with the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner, which will ultimately determine the cause of death.”
