With the heaviest hearts, we share that our sweet Roman has gained his angel wings, just days before his very first birthday on September 17th.

This journey has been incredibly difficult. Roman faced medical complexities in his short life, but through it all, he radiated love, light, and strength that touched everyone around him.

Despite these challenges, Roman’s mom, Kimberly, his dad, Iven, and my parents did everything possible to give both boys the love, care, and stability they deserved.

Now, as we face the unimaginable loss of Roman, our family is also navigating unexpected expenses that come with laying him to rest and supporting his parents and brother through this tragedy.

We are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, for help. Any donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward funeral costs, travel, and support for my parents, Roman’s mom Kimberly, his dad Iven, and baby Iven Jr. during this devastating time. Even if you’re unable to give, sharing this page and keeping our family in your prayers means the world to us.

Thank you for your love, compassion, and support as we hold on to the memory of sweet Roman.
