On behalf of the Backwaters family, we give our heartfelt condolences to our Chef Juan M Torres Hernandez and Paula Perez Mendoza for the unexpected loss of their beloved son, Emanuel Torres Perez, on Friday, February 14, 2025. Emanuel was cherished for his kindness, warmth, and the remarkable young man he had become. His sudden absence has created a void that is beyond words to express.

In this time of mourning, the Torres Perez family is facing the unspeakable task of covering unexpected funeral expenses. To ease the financial burden and allow the family to focus on healing, we have set up a donation fund. Your generous contributions will go directly towards covering the funeral costs and supporting the family during this difficult period.

Every contribution, regardless of its amount, will have a meaningful impact and is deeply appreciated by the Torres Perez family. Your support goes beyond just meeting financial needs. But also shows the family how much Emanuel meant to each of us, even if you did not know him personally.

Juan Torres is the beneficiary of this fund and all monies will go directly to the family. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this difficult time.
