Our family is heartbroken to share that we lost our beloved grandfather and father, Rafael Patiño, on March 12, 2026, after a sudden diagnosis of colon cancer. Rafael was a pillar of strength, kindness, and love in our lives. He brought laughter into our days and his warmth touched everyone who knew him. His memory will forever live on in our hearts.

During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for support to help our family with the funeral and memorial expenses so we can give Rafael the proper farewell and lay him to rest with love. The suddenness of his illness and passing has left us unprepared for the financial burden of these arrangements. Any donation or share means so much to our family as we navigate this loss and try to honor Rafael’s life and memory in the way he deserves.

We are deeply grateful for your kindness, support, and prayers. Thank you for helping us celebrate Rafael’s life and for standing with our family during this time of grief.
