In Loving Memory of a Beloved Son & Father: Marcus Vargas

Hello, my name is Louis Vargas, and I’m reaching out during the darkest time of my life.

On May 18th, my beloved son, Marcus Vargas, was tragically taken from us in an act of senseless violence. He was only 30 years old. My son was full of life, love, and potential—a kind soul with a bright future ahead. He was everything a father could hope for: thoughtful, hardworking, and always there to lend a hand or share a laugh.

Marcus' life was cut short not by fate, but by the actions of someone who could not control their rage. We are still in shock, grappling with the suddenness of it all, and facing the painful truth that we will never see his smile or hear his voice again.

I am creating this GoFundMe not just to share his story, but to ask for help in a time of overwhelming need. Your contributions and support will help me with costs to restore my home and recovery of things that were lost and are necessities.

I never imagined I’d be in a position like this—reaching out to strangers for support—but any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly to honoring Marcus’s memory and helping me find some stability as I begin the long process of healing.

Your support means the world. If you are unable to donate, I ask that you please share this story to help us reach others who might be able to help. Most importantly, I ask you to keep my son, and our family, in your thoughts and prayers.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

With gratitude,

Louis Vargas
