Our beloved brother was so much more than a brother to us. He was our parents’ only son, a father to a young man, and a proud grandfather to his 8-month-old baby girl. He was also an uncle, a loved family member, and someone who meant so much to many people. Our lives were changed forever when his life was taken by a selfish individual while he was at work making a living. We are still trying to process this heartbreaking loss and trying to understand how something so tragic could happen to someone who was so deeply loved.

Right now, we are facing the painful reality of planning his funeral while carrying the weight of this tragedy. We have not even had the chance to fully process what has happened, and yet we are being forced to make difficult arrangements as we mourn someone who meant everything to us. We are asking for support to help cover funeral costs and ease some of the financial burden on our family during this devastating time. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help us honor his memory and give him the farewell he deserves. If you are unable to give, please keep our family in your thoughts as we grieve this tremendous loss and continue to seek justice for my brother Onias Rodriguez Alvila. 08/10/26
