It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved Father, husband, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Brother, and Uncle, Melecio Velasco.

Melecio was the heart of our family, a quiet source of strength, love, and guidance. He worked hard, loved deeply, and always put his family first. Through every challenge in life, he remained devoted to those he loved most. In his final moments, his greatest wish was simple; He wanted to be at home, surrounded by his family. That is how we will always remember him, at peace and embraced by love.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 37 years, Gloria Velasco, his eight children, five cherished grandchildren, and two great grandchildren who will continue to carry his legacy forward.

As Scripture reminds us, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7–8

Those words reflect the life he lived, one of perseverance, dedication, and stregth. During this time of deep grief, we are asking for support to help ease the financial burden of funeral and burial expenses for his wife, Gloria Velasco. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward honoring Melecio’s life and giving him the farewell he deserves.

If you are unable to donate, we humbly ask for your prayers, love, and support for our family during this difficult time. Your kindness means more to us than words can express.

Thank you for walking with us in faith and love.

Con gran pesar compartimos el fallecimiento de nuestro querido padre, esposo, abuelo, bisabuelo, hermano y tío, Melecio Velasco.

Melecio era el corazón de nuestra familia, una fuente silenciosa de fortaleza, amor y orientación. Trabajaba duro, amaba profundamente y siempre anteponía a su familia. A través de todos los desafíos de la vida, se mantuvo devoto a aquellos que más amaba. En sus últimos momentos, su mayor deseo fue sencillo: quería estar en casa, rodeado de su familia. Así es como siempre lo recordaremos, en paz y rodeado de amor.

Deja atrás a su amada esposa durante 37 años, Gloria Velasco, sus ocho hijos, cinco queridos nietos y dos bisnietos que continuarán con su legado.

Como nos recuerda la Escritura: He peleado la buena batalla, he terminado la carrera, he guardado la fe. 2 Timoteo 4:7-8.

Esas palabras reflejan la vida que vivió, una vida de perseverancia, dedicación y fuerza. En este momento de profundo dolor, pedimos apoyo para Gloria Velasco para ayudar a aliviar la carga financiera de los gastos del funeral y el entierro de su esposo. Caulquier contribución, sin importar su cuantía, se destinará directamente a honrar la vida de Melecio y a darle la despedida que se merece.

Si no pueden hacer una donación, les pedimos humildemente sus oraciones, su amor y su apoyo para nuestra familia en estos momentos difíciles. Su amabilidad significa más para nosotros de lo que las palabras pueden expresar.

Gracias por acompañarnos en la fe y el amor.
