<div>In Loving Memory of Cris Vallejo: Supporting Marcy and Van After a Heartbreaking Loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Sunday, July 2, 2023, the world lost a truly amazing human being. Cris Vallejo, a devoted husband, a proud new father, and a loving son was taken from us in a tragic car accident while traveling to meet up with his family for the holiday weekend. Ever the devoted companion, Cris and Marcy's beloved dog Dale also passed during this accident, leaving this earth with Cris. As we come to terms with this immense loss, we ask for your love, prayers, and support to help Cris' wife, Marcy, and their 9-month-old son, Van, during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cris was born an adventurer from the start, and this spirit defined his extraordinary life. Driven by his deep love for our country and the desire to protect it, Cris joined the army right after high school. Throughout his 20 years of service, Cris was deployed multiple times, bravely facing the challenges of each mission, making many close friends along the way and thankfully returning home after each deployment. He was, without a doubt, a true badass soldier, embodying the finest qualities of dedication and courage in the special forces division.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cris' love for his family was unparalleled, and his pride in becoming a new father to Van was boundless. He approached fatherhood with the same vigor and enthusiasm he had for life, cherishing every moment with his son. Marcy and Van were his world, and he made sure they knew it every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond his role as a husband and a father, Cris touched the lives of countless others with his magnetic personality and genuine kindness. He had a remarkable ability to turn strangers into friends in an instant. His warm heart and caring nature made him a true and loyal friend to many, always ready to offer a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on. Cris was a force that seemed capable of turning the world upon its axis, and his absence leaves a void that can never be filled.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we deeply mourn the loss of Cris, we stand together to honor his memory and provide much-needed support to Marcy and Van. The suddenness of this tragedy has left them with overwhelming emotional and financial burdens, unsure of their future. Many friends and family have asked how they can help so we decided to create this campaign to help make it easier for those who would like to help out financially. Your contributions to this GoFundMe campaign will help alleviate some of the financial stress, ensuring that Marcy can focus on healing and caring for Van during this challenging time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe that together, as a community united in love, we can help Marcy and Van find solace amidst their grief and provide them with the strength they need to move forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please hold Marcy, Van, and Cris’ entire family and friends, in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult journey of healing. Share this campaign with your friends and loved ones, spreading the word of Cris' legacy and the impact he had on all our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised through this campaign will be used to assist with funeral and memorial expenses, as well as help to create a stable future for young Van.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though Cris may no longer be with us physically, his spirit will forever live on in our hearts, we aim to honor his memory and ensure that his family feels the love and care of a community that stands by them. Please send photos and your Cris stories to Marcy to save for Van.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and love during this challenging time.
</div>

<div>With heartfelt gratitude,
