Dear friends, family, and kindhearted strangers, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Edward Michael Luyo Ayala. Edward was fatally struck by a car while walking, resulting in the unfair loss of his life on March 31, 2026, at the young age of 44. Edward had a good heart and always cared more for others than himself. He did whatever he could to protect and support his loved ones and friends. He was always there to help anyone in need and never expected anything in return. He was the most hardworking man I've ever met. Even though he struggled with obstacles in his life, he was immensely strong and would push forward to make the best of any situation. He was an inspiration and motivation to us all. Edward was passionate about life and enjoyed traveling, especially taking road trips across the US to enjoy the beauty of national parks and to immerse himself in nature. Along the way, he was intrigued by searching for treasures such as antiques or crystals to add to his growing collection at home. He was a curious person and loved to learn new things, always passing that knowledge onto others. Edward was a very special person and he filled an important role in the lives of the people he touched. He was loved greatly and life will not be the same without him.

His family is devastated by his loss and experiencing a burden with handling the necessary steps of navigating this tragic situation. As we come to terms with this loss, we are trying to raise funds for funeral and memorial expenses and any help to ease the financial burden on the family during this transition. Any donation is deeply appreciated and please consider sharing this fundraiser to help increase support. Thank you for your support and for keeping our family in your thoughts
