Dear Family and Friends,

We come to you with heavy hearts as we seek your prayers and support during this incredibly difficult time following the sudden and tragic loss of my beloved brother, Lino Ayala.

On May 30, 2025, Lino was struck and killed by a deputy officer while crossing the street at Vineyard Ave and 6th Street in Ontario, California. This devastating loss has left us all in shock and sorrow.

Lino was not just a brother; he was an Army Veteran who proudly served as an Infantryman in 2003 at Fort Hood, later deploying to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom as a Combat Engineer. His bravery and dedication to his country were just a few of the qualities that made him so special. He also worked in the railroad industry for over 15 years, serving as a proud foreman, welder, flagman, and track inspector.

He was a cherished son to our mother, Maria, and our father, Miguel. As a brother to Miguel Jr. and Melissa, and as a loving father to his two school-aged children, Layla and Lino Jr., Lino touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

In this time of mourning, we are reaching out for your support to help our family navigate the financial burden of the upcoming burial expenses and other costs related to his untimely passing. Any assistance you can provide would mean the world to us as we honor Lino's memory and the love he brought into our lives.

Thank you for being there for our family during this heartbreaking time.

With love and gratitude.
