In Loving Memory of Diego Bravo Cervantes

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Juan Bravo, and I am Diego’s older brother. I am creating this GoFundMe to gather funds for my younger brother’s funeral, burial, and memorial. As you may know, my younger brother sadly passed away on Sunday, June 25, 2023, in Little Village after he was shot in his chest.

For those who never got to meet my younger brother, allow me to tell you more about him. Diego was a kind and loving soul. He had the most contagious smile and always loved to laugh and have a good time. He loved listening to music, playing video games, and shopping. He was also very outgoing and loved spending time with his family and friends. Growing up, he had many aspirations and goals that he wanted to achieve. He wanted to work harder to buy our parents a house and pursue a career as a graphic designer, as he had a keen interest in graphic design. He was also looking forward to graduating from high school three years from now. Sadly, however, his life was taken from him, and he will no longer be able to achieve his aspirations and goals.

This past week, Diego had just completed his first year in high school. Now that he was on summer break, my family and I had many activities planned so that we could spend quality time with him. However, after we heard the devastating news on Sunday afternoon, those plans disappeared. My family and I are currently heartbroken and still trying to process what happened. It pains us deeply to know that Diego was taken from us at the age of 15, just as he was beginning to live his life. I want to emphasize that Diego did not deserve any of this. He was a great kid who was not involved in any gangs or anything of that nature; he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The funds raised will be utilized to cover any expenses associated with the funeral, burial, and memorial of my younger brother. By supporting us in this difficult time, you will help us give Diego the dignified farewell that he deserves.

I thank you all in advance for anything that you are able to donate. Your support means the world to my family and me during this challenging period. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate through the pain of losing such a special individual within our family.

Hola, mi nombre es Juan Bravo, y soy el hermano mayor de Diego. Estoy creando este GoFundMe para recaudar fondos para el funeral, entierro y memorial de mi hermano menor. Como sabrán, mi hermano menor lamentablemente falleció el Domingo 25 de Junio de 2023 en La Villita después de recibir un disparo en el pecho.

Para aquellos que nunca llegaron a conocer a mi hermano menor, permítanme contarles más sobre él. Diego era un alma bondadosa y amorosa. Tenía la sonrisa más contagiosa y siempre le encantaba reír y pasar un buen rato. Le encantaba escuchar música, jugar videojuegos e ir de compras. También era muy extrovertido y le encantaba pasar tiempo con su familia y amigos. Al crecer, tenía muchas aspiraciones y metas que quería lograr. Quería trabajar más duro para comprarles una casa a nuestros padres y seguir una carrera como diseñador gráfico, ya que tenía un gran interés en el diseño gráfico. También esperaba graduarse de la escuela secundaria dentro de tres años. Lamentablemente, sin embargo, le quitaron la vida y ya no podrá lograr estas aspiraciones y metas suyas.

La semana pasada, Diego acababa de completar su primer año en la escuela secundaria. Ahora que estaba de vacaciones de verano, mi familia y yo teníamos muchas actividades planeadas para poder pasar tiempo de calidad con él. Sin embargo, después de escuchar las devastadoras noticias el domingo por la tarde, esos planes se desaparecieron. Mi familia y yo estamos actualmente desconsolados y todavía estamos tratando de procesar lo que pasó. Nos duele profundamente saber que Diego nos fue arrebatado a los 15 años, justo cuando comenzaba a vivir su vida. Quiero recalcar que Diego no se merecía nada de esto. Era un gran chico que no estaba involucrado en ninguna pandilla ni nada de ese estilo; simplemente estaba en el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocado.

Los fondos recaudados se utilizarán para cubrir los gastos asociados con el funeral, entierro y memorial de mi hermano menor. Al apoyarnos en este momento tan difícil, nos ayudarás a darle a Diego la despedida digna que se merece.

Les agradezco a todos de antemano por cualquier cosa que puedan donar. Su apoyo significa mucho para mi familia y para mí durante este período desafiante. Por favor, manténganos en sus pensamientos y oraciones mientras navegamos por el dolor de perder a una persona tan especial dentro de nuestra familia.
