Hi, my name is Christopher Arellano and I'm raising money for my father Braulio Arellano's end of life costs.

He was a hard working man, his entire life he was an aircraft mechanic. He loved working on planes, cars and machines. He is a family man, he loves all of his children more than he loves anything else, besides God.

On January 2nd, 2020, he fell on the stairs outside his apartment and hit his head on the concrete. He was sent to the Neuro Trauma ICU in Portland where he stayed on life support for two weeks.
Because of the massive trauma to his brain and because he lost the ability to breathe on his own, we, his children decided to take him off life support on January 14th, 2020.

My father leaves behind 10 children, now all adults. He had multiple families, from Mexico to California to Oregon & Washington. He loved every single one of us the same. Unfortunately we had not planned ahead for an outcome like this. The only wishes my dad made regarding his passing, were:

To be buried whole (not cremated)
To be buried beside his father in Mexico

Unfortunately, to bury him beside his father would be too costly. We are now arranging to have him buried whole in Vancouver, WA at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.

We ask for anything you can give and are gracious for every penny. Funds will be used for embalming, a cascet, land plot, transportation and any other end of life costs. Christopher Arellano will be in charge of funds, Gabriel Arellano is in charge of logistics. If you have any comments or questions, please let us know.

Thank you for all your prayers, well wishes, thoughtful messages and donations.
