In Loving Memory of Hector Padilla-Villafana

We are heartbroken to share the passing of my beloved father-in-law, Hector Padilla-Villafana. His departure has left a deep and painful void in our lives, and in the lives of everyone who had the honor of knowing him.

Hector was a man defined by his generosity and compassion. If someone was in need, he was there. Without hesitation. Without question. He gave freely of himself to help others.

One of the many examples of his character was the way he embraced my son with unconditional love and acceptance. It was always "my grandson" and I will forever be grateful for that. He went on to be just as loving toward my daughters. They were his pride and joy, and he never failed to light up with a smile when he saw them.

Now, as we prepare to say goodbye, we are asking for help to give Hector the memorial he truly deserves. His children are carrying the heavy weight of this loss and the financial burden that comes with it. We are seeking to raise $6,000 to cover his funeral expenses and ease this part of their grief.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help. And if you are unable to give financially, we ask that you please share this campaign so others who may wish to help can do so.

We are deeply grateful for the love, understanding, and grace shown by those standing beside us as we navigate this tremendous loss.
