Julio needs a beautiful tombstone.

Julio was nothing short of a blessing in his lifetime. He comes from a family where he has an immense amount of love, faith and hope. Growing up Julio always enjoyed being with his family, acting goofy and always being the one to make those around him smile and laugh with ease. At such a young age Julio knew he wanted to travel the world and see all of the amazing things God had to offer him. With deciding to go back to school he wanted to start a career in Dentistry and make his goals and dreams come true, which we all knew was going to happen due to his perseverance and hard working ethic. Everyday Julio made sure those around him knew they were loved and cared for, always going out of his way to bring nothing but positivity into everyone’s life. With such a strong support system through his family and friends, Julio always knew whatever he wanted or needed he could achieve. His smile was contagious, with a laugh that always warmed the hearts around him, and his arms were always opened for those in need of something as simple as a hug. For someone to be so genuinely amazing and heart felt we all know he is still with us, encouraging us to be strong and continue to fight. Unfortunately Julio didn’t get the chance to live out his dreams or see the world the way he wanted to. While he was on his way home from work on the night January 13th, Julio was taken from this world in a way nobody would have ever been able to imagine. He was almost home when someone had decided to take his life by shooting him from the back. Julio had no idea what was happening to him and had no chance of making it as one of the bullets went directly into his heart causing him to swerve off the road and into a tree, where sadly he was left until found by the police. We all know Julio is with God now and is able to continue to have his arms open for his loved ones and continue to share his presence, reminding his family that he is ok. Nobody wants to go through the process of losing a loved one, let alone day by day having to worry about what is going to happen next. Our family is trying our hardest to be strong and make sure that Julios name, smile and soul are always in remembrance from our hearts, also at the place he will be laying and giving everyone a spot to know where he is. We all want to say thank you in advance for everyone’s kind words, open hearts and selfless actions. Julio may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. An amazing son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend, we all will make sure Julio’s legacy shall live on.
