In Loving Memory of Chito Gone Too Soon

Donation protected
It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of our beloved Chito, who left this world far too soon on July 24, 2025, at the age of 43.

Chito was a devoted father to six beautiful children: Gabriel, Amaris, Noah, Eli, Elliot, and Edison. He was the kind of dad who lived for his kids, showing up with love and laughter. His unexpected loss has left our entire family in deep grief.

He also leaves behind his loving parents, Benedicto and Teresa, and three heartbroken sisters: Carmen, Saida, and Abby.

We are raising funds to help cover Chito’s funeral and burial expenses. This tragedy came with no warning, and we want to honor him with the dignity and love he showed so many during his life. Every donation will go directly toward giving Chito a proper farewell, something no family is ever truly prepared for, especially one navigating such sudden heartbreak.

If you’re able to contribute, please know how much your support means to us. No amount is too small, and even sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you for holding our family in your thoughts and prayers during this painful time. Chito’s memory lives on in his children and in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.

With deep gratitude,
The Cardenas Family
