Chato's Funeral Expenses

Donation protected

My name is Julio Rodriguez, and I am doing this on behalf of my family and my nephew Juan Carlos (Chato).   On Sunday April 9, 2017, Chato was driving and we believe he lost control and then crashed into a tree head on.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.  Chato is survived by his Dad Carlos, Mom Yesenia and sister Nichole.

Chato was a great son, brother, cousin and friend. Yesterday I found out he became a father just nine days before this tradegy happened. Chato was a caring, respectful and affectionate young man who always greeted and ended our visits with hugs!   He had a great smile and infectious laugh.  Chato was in the early stages of fullfilling life goals he had, one being having a family of his own with a new engagement approaching. He was a great soccer player too better than me (Como) yes I said it Chato. He played with his little cousins like Nehemiah and Angel that they will miss alot. 

We would like to remember who he was,  that he was cherished and will continue to be by having a memorial service surrounded by family and friends who knew and loved him.  With this unexpected tradegy that none of us would have ever thought we would need to make preperations for, we are asking anyone who feels prompted in donating to make this possible.  Any amount is truly appreciated, no donation is too small.
Thank you
