It is with deep heartbreak and unimaginable sorrow that we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of Gael Gaeta, the beloved 18-year-old son of our brother Jim Gaeta and Yesenia Garcia. Words cannot express the shock and grief our family is experiencing. The loss of a child is something no parent should ever have to endure, and this tragedy has left Jim, Yesenia, and Gael’s siblings shattered.

Gael was a bright, kind young man with so much life and promise ahead of him. His unexpected passing has left a void in all of our hearts, and his siblings are also struggling to make sense of this painful loss.

As the family grieves and tries to process this tragedy, they are also facing the overwhelming financial burden of funeral expenses. During this incredibly difficult time, we are reaching out to our family and friends for support.

Please consider donating—any amount helps. If you’re unable to give, we ask that you keep Jim Gaeta, Yesenia Garcia, and their children in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing by our family during this time of mourning.

With heartfelt appreciation,

On behalf of our Gaeta family, we thank you for your support.

With love,

Bernadette & Yolanda
