In Loving Memory of Johan "Goldy" Marquez

It is with deep heartbreak that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of Johan Marquez, just weeks before his 38th birthday. Born on August 14, 1987, Johan was a proud and devoted father to Sophia and Remy Marquez, a beloved son to Dilenia Marte, and the eldest brother to Janellys and Keylanelys Pimentel. His loss leaves an unimaginable void in our family.

Johan was the kind of person who made everyone feel like family. Whether bringing us together with his humor, lighting up the primo table, or creating joyful memories for his children, Johan carried hope, love, and connection in everything he did. His generosity extended beyond our family—every Thanksgiving and Christmas, Johan would cook and bring meals to those without a home. He was truly the glue that kept so many of us close.

This fundraiser is to help with funeral expenses and memorial arrangements, and to support Sophia and Remy as they begin to navigate life without their father.

Any donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

We love you, Goldy. We’ll carry your memory in our hearts, always.
