Hello, my name is Gilbert Duran. I recently lost my brother, Andy Duran, who was an amazing person always smiling and joking around. Andy had a heart of stone and was the kindest person you could meet—he would give his last dollar even if it was all he had. He meant so much to me, always calling at all hours just to check in and make sure I was okay. Even during hard times, Andy kept his spirits up and made everyone around him smile.

Recently, Andy became very sick with pneumonia, sepsis in his blood, and cirrhosis. He was admitted to Banner University Hospital on March 9th, struggling to breathe. His organs began to fail, and he went into septic shock. Despite the doctors' efforts, his heart failed and his blood pressure dropped too low to support his other organs. Andy passed away on March 10th at 5:52pm from heart failure.

I have never done anything like this before, and I am still trying to process this loss. I am asking for your help and support with anything you can give to help cover cremation and memorial service expenses for Andy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping in this time of need.
