It is with heavy hearts that we create this page for our beloved niece, Cecilia “China” Castro, her boyfriend Lixandro Hernandez, and his brother Martin Hernandez.

They were driving through Arbuckle, California on their way to work when a tire on their van blew out. The van flipped several times on I-5. Tragically, China and Martin lost their lives in the accident.

China was only 27 years old, with her whole life ahead of her. She was full of love, light, and dreams. She is now reunited in heaven with her brother, Luis Castro, and her grandfather, Vicente Castro.

Martin leaves behind his precious 8-year-old son, who will now grow up without his father. He is reunited in heaven with his grandfather, Natividad Hernandez, and his grandmother, Rosario Aguilar. His family in Mexico wishes to bring him home to give him the proper service and lay him to rest surrounded by loved ones.

During this incredibly painful time, we are asking for your support to help cover funeral expenses and transportation costs. Any amount you feel in your heart to give would mean more to us than words can express.

Most importantly, we ask for your prayers for both families. This double loss has devastated us, and we are trying to navigate this unimaginable pain together.

Thank you for your generosity, love, and support during this heartbreaking time.

Con el corazón lleno de dolor creamos esta página para nuestra querida sobrina, Cecilia “China” Castro, su novio Lixandro Hernandez, y su hermano Martin Hernandez.

Ellos viajaban por Arbuckle, California, rumbo a su trabajo cuando una llanta de la camioneta se reventó. El vehículo dio varias vueltas en la autopista I-5. Trágicamente, China y Martin perdieron la vida en el accidente.

China tenía apenas 27 años y toda una vida por delante. Estaba llena de amor, luz y sueños. Ahora se encuentra reunida en el cielo con su hermano, Luis Castro, y su abuelo, Vicente Castro.

Martin deja a su querido hijo de 8 años, quien ahora crecerá sin su padre. Él se reúne en el cielo con su abuelo, Natividad Hernandez, y su abuela, Rosario Aguilar. Su familia desea repatriar su cuerpo a su tierra natal Michoacán, Mexico a casa para brindarle un servicio digno y darle el último adiós rodeado de sus seres queridos.

En este momento tan doloroso, pedimos su apoyo para ayudar a cubrir los gastos funerarios y de traslado. Cualquier cantidad que Dios ponga en su corazón será recibida con profunda gratitud.

Más que nada, les pedimos sus oraciones por ambas familias. Esta doble pérdida nos ha devastado y estamos tratando de sobrellevar este dolor inimaginable unidos.

Gracias por su generosidad, amor y apoyo en estos momentos tan difíciles.
