On Wednesday, May 6, 2026, our lives changed forever. Julio was on his motorcycle heading to work when a driver operating a flatbed truck suddenly made an illegal U-turn on Glenoaks Blvd., causing a tragic accident. Julio suffered devastating injuries and, after fighting for his life, he was declared deceased on Friday, May 8th.

No words can truly describe the pain and heartbreak his family, friends, and loved ones are feeling. Julio was more than just a son, partner, family member, and friend — he was a light in the lives of everyone who knew him. He had the kindest heart, a beautiful soul, and a contagious spirit that could make anyone smile. He was the type of person who would show up for others without hesitation, always willing to help in any way he could.

Even in his passing, Julio continued giving to others through organ donation, a final act that reflects the selfless and loving person he truly was. Although his life was taken far too soon, his generosity and love will continue living on through the many lives he touched.

For five unforgettable years, Julio was an incredible partner, best friend, and source of strength and happiness. He brought love, laughter, comfort, and warmth everywhere he went. His absence has left an unimaginable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved him.

During this heartbreaking time, we are asking for support to help cover funeral expenses and assist his family and loved ones as we try to navigate this painful loss and give Julio the beautiful farewell he deserves.

Any donation, prayer, or even simply sharing this fundraiser means more than words can express. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and kindness during one of the most difficult moments of our lives.
