Hi, my name is Vanessa Feliciano, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my family during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

My uncle, Ismael Feliciano, was born on January 5, 1975. He had just come home less than three weeks ago, full of life, hope, and plans for a fresh start. He was laughing, smiling, and ready to move forward, but sadly, his time was cut short.

On November 8th, 2025, we got the heartbreaking call that he had passed away. It still doesn’t feel real. Ismael was like a father to me and a favorite uncle to my daughter. He was a father to two beautiful girls of his own, and his love for family showed in everything he did.

Anyone who knew Ismael knows he was a risk-taker, bold, fearless, and loyal to the people he loved. He was the one everyone called when something went wrong, whether it was to fix a car or to stand up and protect someone. He had a big heart, a strong presence, and a way of making everyone feel safe.

Our family is devastated and simply not financially prepared for this loss. We want to give him the proper goodbye he deserves, surrounded by love, prayers, and dignity. Any donation, big or small, will go directly toward his funeral and burial expenses.

If you’re unable to donate, please keep our family in your thoughts and share this link. Every bit of support means the world right now.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts,

The Feliciano Family
