Francisco "Paco" Topete

At the age of 16, Paco Topete was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma originating in his leg. This ulitmately lead to the amputation of his leg. Not too long after this the cancer began to spread throughout his body. Paco was a very positive and outgoing individual despite his illness. His strength and determination was heroic. He has touched the lives of many, he is a true inspiration to us all. Despite his youth, Paco had a wisdom and outlook that is hard to find. He always wished the best for everyone and wanted them to be happy in life regardless of any struggles that had arised. 

He fought this battle for a little over a year before his untimely departure. Although we miss him greatly we know he is in a better place and is no longer suffering. Paco will forever be in our hearts and memories. 

On behalf of the Topete family we would like to help out with funeral expenses. We have a goal listed but any amount raised in this time of need is greatly appreciated. We would like you thank all of you for your generosity, thoughts, and prayers for this family.
