I am creating this fundraiser for my aunt, Norberta Vasquez, who lost her son, Ezequiel Aquino, far too soon.

For those who knew him, Pichi, just days ago, celebrated his 29th birthday. Pichi was someone who kept his circle small, but the people lucky enough to know him knew the kind of person he truly was. He had a heart of gold, and his kindness, loyalty, and love for those around him meant more than words can express.

He had a contagious laugh that could light up any room and a presence that will never be forgotten. We not only lost Pichi, but our cousin Brian as well in the tragic event.

We are asking for support as we navigate this unimaginable loss and help give Pichi the memorial and farewell he deserves. Any contribution, share, or kind message means more to our family than you know.

Thank you for helping us honor Pichi’s life and keep his memory alive.
