Dear Friends and Family,

On September 21, 2025, our beloved John and Belkis Sedano were driving their granddaughter home, and unfortunately John, Belkis and John’s mother Marlene passed away in a horrible accident . By God’s grace, their six year old granddaughter Zariyah survived — a true miracle amidst all this heartbreak.

John and Belkis were a source of light to everyone who knew them. Their love for each other, their family, their church, and their community was unwavering. They gave of themselves endlessly — always putting others first, always showing joy, kindness, and faith in action.

They leave behind their six sons — Jorge, Carlos, Jordan, Daniel, Julian, and Fernando — who were their greatest pride and joy. And of course, their granddaughter Zariyah, who brought them so much happiness and hope.

Marlene left behind 3 of her son’s Alex, Edward, and Ivan.

Belkis leaves behind a sister and brother. 

While their memory will live forever in our hearts, their sudden passing has left a tremendous financial void, and the family is now faced with unexpected and overwhelming expenses. We are asking for your love and support during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward easing the burden of funeral costs and helping the family navigate the days ahead.

Thank you for keeping the Sedano family in your prayers and for surrounding them with love. Your generosity and kindness mean more than words can express. Together, we can honor John and Belkis’s legacy of love by supporting the family they cherished most.

My name is Luz Jimenez, Belkis is a wonderful person I worked with, and a great friend. I am

organizing this fundraiser for John and Belkis’s funeral expenses.

Jordan Machado, Belkis’s middle son will be the beneficiary on the account.
