Our family is devastated by the unexpected passing of my little brother, Roman Delgado. He was just 17 years old, finishing his junior year at Archbishop Hoban High School.

As we prepare to lay Roman to rest, we are asking for help covering funeral expenses and honoring him the way he deserves. Any donation, no matter the amount, or even simply sharing this page, means more to our family than we can put into words.

Roman was an incredibly talented theatre actor and a proud member of the International Thespian Society. The stage was where he truly came alive. He had a natural gift — a presence that drew people in — but what made him unforgettable was his heart. He was kind, thoughtful, and always made others feel seen and valued.

I love him and miss him more than words can express. His little sister misses her big brother every single day. My mom and dad are facing a loss no parent should ever have to endure. As a family, we are leaning on one another and on our faith as we try to navigate something that still doesn’t feel real.

We have been overwhelmed by the love and support from Roman’s friends, teacher's, and our community. The stories of how he impacted others have reminded us just how many lives he touched in just 17 years.

Thank you for standing with our family during this incredibly difficult time and for helping us keep Roman’s memory and light alive.
