On December 31, 2025, at 1:45 a.m., my dad passed away due to heart complications. He was a fighter and held on until the very end, surrounded by the people who loved him most—his family. While the pain of this loss is immeasurable, there is comfort in knowing he was not alone in his final moments.

My father leaves behind his beloved wife, his son, five daughters, and three grandchildren—two granddaughters and a grandson. He was the heart of our family and a deeply selfless man who always put others before himself. He made sure everyone around him was warm, fed, cared for, and happy, often without ever asking for anything in return. His kindness, generosity, and quiet strength touched so many lives, and his love will continue to live on through our family and everyone who knew him.

As we grieve this profound loss, our family is also facing the significant costs associated with burial services in California. This fundraiser is a way for those who knew and loved my father to come together in support and help us lay him to rest with the care, dignity, and respect he deserves.

Any contribution, or simply sharing this page and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers, is deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping us honor my father’s life and for holding our family close during this incredibly difficult time.
