Hi, my name is Leslie Reyes, and I'm reaching out on behalf of my parents and siblings during one of the hardest moments of our lives. With heavy hearts, we share that our brother Ducky passed away on February 13th. Our family is very heartbroken as we try to figure out this unexpected loss.

Even though Ducky couldn’t speak, he was truly the anchor of our family, bringing us together in ways words couldn’t . He touched the hearts of everyone who had the blessing of knowing him. His smile could brighten the darkest room, and his spirit taught us all what unconditional love really looks like. The love he gave and the love he received was something so special, and we will carry that love with us forever and ever.

We created this GoFundMe to help cover the remaining balance of his funeral and burial expenses. Any funds raised beyond that will go toward helping our beautiful mom with living and household expenses during this very hard transition, allowing her the space to grieve, heal, and take things one day at a time. Ducky was her world for so many years, so this season of life will be very new and heavy for her.

If you are able to donate, we are so grateful. If not, keeping our family in your prayers means just as much. Every message, every dollar, whether it’s $1 or $5, will help make Ducky’s memorial something truly special.

Thank you all for the love Ducky has been receiving. He will never be forgotten.
