It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the sudden passing of Sebastian Velasco, son of Manuel Macias and Yvette Gould. Sebastian’s tragic and unexpected departure has left us completely heartbroken and facing a reality we were not ready for.

Sebastian was someone who showed up, who made an impact in their own way, and who will always be part of our story. Family isn’t about perfection; it’s about connection, history, and the moments that stay with you long after someone is gone.

We are now faced with the unexpected cost of laying Sebastian to rest and honoring his life properly. Like many families in times like this, we are doing our best to navigate both the emotional weight and the financial reality that comes with it.

We are asking, if you are able, for any support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses so we can give him the dignity and farewell he deserves.

No amount is too small, and if you’re not in a position to give, sharing this or keeping our family in your thoughts means just as much.

Thank you for helping us come together to honor Sebastian's life.

A rosary will take place on May 15, 2026, at St. Anne's Parish at 10:00 am, followed by a mass at 11:00 am.
