Remembering Calvin Viernes

On November 8, 2015, Calvin Viernes died from congestive heart failure.  It was a battle that Calvin and his wife of 22 years – Bonnie – his daughters – Emily, Carley, and Tasha – and son – Anthony – fought for 9 years since his first diagnosis.  They have lived through 9 years of “ifs” and “when” and the impossible torture of just not knowing.  Through it all, Calvin has kept an incredibly powerful spirit.  He was a loving and devoted husband, father, son, uncle, and brother to his family and friends.  Despite his health problems, Calvin worked tirelessly to support and care for his family.  With a strength like an ox, and an unquestionable loyalty, he helped each and every one of us without hesitation.  Calvin adored animals, and shared that love with his family.

Calvin was 47 years old, and due to his health was unable to get life insurance.  This fund is being developed assist his wife and daughters with funeral costs and the living expenses they are facing in the challenging months ahead without their husband and father.  

Calvin will be missed by all, and his family will not ever be able to express their appreciation for any support you feel able to provide.
