Hi,

My name is Kurt Vestil. I am writing this on behalf of my brother and I. On Tuesday, August 17th, 2021, I received the most tragic and heartbreaking news of my life. My uncle Ron called to inform me that my father, Rodino Vestil, passed away at 56 years young. He leaves behind two sons, myself and my younger brother, Sean. It pains me to have to sit down and write this. To hear those words coming from my uncle was a punch to the gut that also shattered my heart into a million pieces. I immediately thought of my brother Sean, who is currently living in the Philippines studying, all on his own at 21 years old. Our family is devastated to say the least. For anyone that was lucky enough to know my dad, they know what a kind person he was. He made everyone around him so happy, he had an infectious laugh and was always looking to put a smile on everyone's face. For those of you that didn't know him, well, during our childhood he worked tirelessly and was devoted to his craft to be able to provide for our family. Whether you knew him as DenDen or Rodney, he was a great friend, brother, uncle, son, and husband. Even with all of the roles he played in people's lives, I can attest that his true identity was based on his favorite one of them all, which was being my dad, and also my best friend. My brother and I will miss our dad so much. This new reality we now live in will be very tough to adjust to and we will wake up everyday hoping we can honor him to the best of our abilities. We would give anything just to feel his embrace one last time.

I created this GoFundMe to help cover the costs of his funeral arrangements, and the flight expenses for my brother Sean. Anything you can do to help us out or even help spread the word will be appreciated from the bottom of our hearts as we go through this difficult time. Thank you.
