In loving memory of Harley Mendoza--a husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend that fought hard until the very end. Harley passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 1st, 2024 at 2:50am. He was 53 years old. Harley suffered from many health issues such as Type 1 diabetes, kidney disease, gout, partial blindness, liver complications, necrosis, and more. He is survived by his wife Lourie Doldol (51), daughter Tiffany Doldol aka Ate Kai-Kai (24), and son Carlo Mendoza (21).

For those who knew Harley, family always came first. He was the cool uncle who always cracked jokes at the family gatherings, shared his passion for video games, sports, and cars with his loved ones, educated family and friends about random facts, and supported his siblings in the Philippines as much as he could. He always just wanted the best for his wife and kids, and worked hard to get us whatever we wanted. Despite the fact that I was his step-daughter, Tito Harley raised me as if I was his own. Even though we would get into it sometimes and we had our differences, he was the best second dad I could've ever asked for and more.

In 2018, he suffered from kidney failure and had been on dialysis ever since. Even during his final years of life, he knew how to lighten up the room with his jokes around the DaVita Dialysis nurses and staff. He was remembered as a cheerful man that was always a joy to be around despite his difficult circumstances. He was a serious man, but he knew how to have fun when needed.

We are asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time for us, and all funds raised will go directly to help with the following expenses:

1. Church service/memorial/final viewing for family and friends

2. Cremation

3. Paperwork needed to eventually get a portion of his ashes to his siblings back in the Philippines--this would also cover flight tickets and passport renewal expenses

4. Rent, monthly bills, and some debt

5. Car repairs that were neglected because we did not have the funds for it

Any amount will help us tremendously as we try to cope with this sudden tragedy, and every donation will be greatly appreciated. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for your compassion, kindness, and generosity.

Sincerely,

The Mendoza Family
