Paco Bonilla Memorial Fund

On October 17, 2020, Jose Francisco "Paco" Bonilla, unexpectedly gained his angel wings and joined our heavenly father. A jolly giant with infectious laughter, his heart was full of nothing but love for his children LaRay (24), Jose Jr (21), and Kaleb (8). He would seize every opportunity he had to make his children laugh either by bouncing in front of the fridge like a bunny for his snacks or by tearing up the dancefloor with his backslides and moonwalks that Michael Jackson couldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. Always a fighter, our Paco battled and defeated cancer twice with the loving support of his soulmate Olivia and mother-in-law Betty Karlegan who he loved to torture with corny jokes and noises that no human should ever make.  A conversationalist, it didn't matter whether he was awake or asleep to have deep conversations with his Olivia, even if they were about throwing hot pancakes over a fence.  While we may not be able to release Paco's family of their emotional burdens, we can come together and do what we can to relieve them of some of the financial hardship and what will be a new reality to exist in. Today and forever we will remember our Paco as he was and we ask you to share any memories you've made with him as well. Thank you.
