It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend, Cris. He left us far too soon, and the loss is felt deeply by all who knew and loved him.

For those who have been blessed by his presence, worked with him, or even strangers that have briefly had any conversations with him, you immediately know that he was kind and a joy to be around. He was a compassionate soul who touched his community with his goofy, carefree, positive attitude that brought joy and laughter wherever he went.

During this incredibly difficult time, we are coming together as a community and his Boeing family to support his family and help ease the financial burden. All of his family are in the Philippines and he’s the only one here in the U.S working to provide for his family. Cris takes on a lot of the financial load for his family and sends money home.

We here at his shop have started a fundraiser to raise the funds to send Cris back home so that his family can grieve and give him the proper funeral that he and his family deserve.

Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, sharing the fundraiser with others would also mean a great deal. Let’s honor Cris’s memory by coming together in love and support.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
