My uncle Ignacio passed away suddenly and unexpectedly Thursday July 31st after 52 years god called him back home. My uncle was a father to Ignacio which we all know him as Junior, grandfather to Anaya, son to Heliodoro and Mariana, brother to Chato, Yolanda, Jaime and Ernesto. Uncle to Jessica, Manuel, Desiree, Amanda, Mariana, Brittney, Valerie, Angelina and Roman. We cherished the presence of one another when the heart of our family my grandma was called home. My Tio Ignacio or as we all like to call him SMOKEY was always there to bring some happiness to our life. Always with the coolest gadgets that no one else had, a full cup of soda in his hand (different cup every time). Anything you needed I guarantee Smokey had a couple of them. My uncle loved being a grandpa to Anaya, almost every time he seen her he'd have a gift for her it wasn't much but he always thought of her. 6 years with her grandpa was too short. He made sure to make it to every family gathering we had because We always had each other. One thing I’ll never forget about My uncle is how much he loved animals, he leaves behind his two dogs Bully and Baby who are already missing him dearly. Although my uncle is no longer here physically I know his spirit remains. I know my uncle was welcomed with the biggest hug in heaven by our Grandma and uncle Ernesto (Tito)

we love you Smokey, until we meet again Tio. We’ll all take care of each other down here.

thank you for any donations as we lay my uncle to rest. On behalf of my whole family we appreciate anything.

Love the people you have while you have them.
