For the Paz Family after the loss of Arturo Sr

The Paz family needs our support. In the early hours of November 30th, Stephanie and Arturo Jr found Arturo Sr unresponsive, and despite valiant efforts of CPR until an ambulance arrived, Arturo Sr unfortunately did not survive the massive heart attack. 

The Paz family moved to Gulf Breeze from Miami a year ago when The Grand Marlin recruited Chef Paz to be the Executive Chef. Arturo Jr is a member of the freshman football team at Gulf Breeze High School, and Arturo Sr often took his son and numerous football friends out for late night Whataburger runs. Stephanie has contributed countless volunteer hours to the community and Arturo Sr was so proud of her hard work and commitment to their community. They weren't in Gulf Breeze for long but it quickly became home.

Before relocating to Gulf Breeze, Arturo Sr was a renowned chef at top restaurants in Miami, L.A., New York City, and Puerto Rico and regularly appeard on tv shows in Miami and throughout Latin American. Before his culinary career, Arturo Sr studied architecture at Tulane University and completed his culinary training at Johnson and Wales University. 

Arturo Sr was a kind and thoughtful man and beloved to all who knew him. His passing is a tremendous loss to not only his family but his whole community. 

The biggest need right now is funds to help his family get through this unexpected and devastating loss. Any amount helps! 

EDIT: A HUGE thank you to The Grand Marlin and all who have so generously donated already! The support and compassion from the community is powerful and is so greatly needed at this time. Thank you, thank you, thank you for caring for the Paz family.
