Our beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather has always loved us with his whole heart. He cared deeply for each one of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. We were his world, his pride, and his greatest joy.

He gave us everything—his time, his energy, his love, and his strength. Whether it was taking us camping, going to the movies, running to Blockbuster or Circle K, picking out toys at Family Dollar, or simply spending holidays and birthdays together—he made every moment feel special. He never cared about material things; all he ever wanted was to be with us.

Even in difficult times, he never asked for much—just a phone call, a visit, and our love.

He called all of us his “world/life,” and we’ll always be that—still but forever his. He gave us his whole life without hesitation, and his love never wavered.

Three months ago, he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. It has now spread across his chest, and he’s also battling pneumonia. Sadly, he is too weak and unstable to undergo any procedures. He tells us gently that he’s tired, that he’s okay, and that we don’t need to keep fighting for him. But it's so hard to let go, especially after trying everything we could to give him a chance.

We are reaching out to all those who loved him—or have been touched by his story—for help. Any donation, no matter how small, will help us cover medical expenses, hospice care, and funeral arrangements. Most of all, we ask for your prayers and support during this heartbreaking time.

He leaves behind a legacy of unconditional love and a family that will never forget the way he made us feel safe, seen, and deeply loved.

He is survived by:

*Step children: Mary, Hector, Denise

* His children: Arcelia and Luis

* His grandchildren:

"Many loving grandchildren"]

* His great-grandchildren

or "A growing legacy of great-grandchildren who adore him"]

* And countless family and friends who cherished him

Thank you for your kindness, support, and love. He gave us everything. Now, we want to honor him with the same love and dignity he showed us every day of his life.
