In Loving Memory of Mario A. Laureano

Hello. I am Margarita Laureano, sister of 26-year-old Mario A. Laureano. It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my beloved brother. He was admitted on April 29, 2025, to the ER and immediately to CCU from his job due to a heat stroke, which caused his organs to shut down. We had hope that he was indeed on his way to recovery since we saw very small milestones. Unfortunately, while on his way to recovery, two major organs were badly affected. Where doctors suggested a laparotomy, which happened to be the last option and the first of many in order to see improvement, was performed on Friday, May 16, 2025. As they monitored him throughout Saturday, he was raising concerns about why he wasn’t improving, so they suggested a second surgery Saturday night, already at high risk due to him being critically ill. As we had faith, hope, and prayed that he would pull through, they brought him back up to CCU and broke the news to us that they did everything they could possibly do to help him but showed signs of his organs slowly dying… As for everyone who got to know my brother, he was a goofball full of life, always smiling and laughing no matter the struggle. He leaves behind a beloved mother who he dearly adored so much, one who never left his side while being hospitalized and really had hope and faith her baby would pull through. We all had high hopes that he was indeed going to get through this, but unfortunately, God had other plans for him. I would also like to take the time to thank everyone for their prayers and let everyone know that all donations made will be appreciated as we want to give my brother a proper burial. Thank you…

Hola. Soy Margarita Laureano, hermana de Mario A. Laureano, de 26 años. Con gran pesar, comparto el fallecimiento de mi querido hermano. Ingresó el 29 de abril de 2025 a urgencias e inmediatamente a la CCU desde su trabajo debido a un golpe de calor que le provocó un fallo en sus órganos.Teníamos la esperanza de que se estuviera recuperando, ya que vimos pequeños avances. Desafortunadamente, durante su recuperación, dos órganos importantes se vieron gravemente afectados. Los médicos sugirieron una laparotomía, que resultó ser la última opción y la primera de muchas para ver mejoría, la cual se realizó el viernes 16 de mayo de 2025. Mientras lo monitoreaban durante todo el sábado, expresó su preocupación por la falta de mejoría, así que sugirieron una segunda cirugía el sábado por la noche, ya con alto riesgo debido a su estado crítico. Como teníamos fe, esperanza y rezábamos por su recuperación, lo llevaron de vuelta a la CCU y nos informaron que hicieron todo lo posible por ayudarlo, pero que sus órganos presentaban signos de agonía lenta… En cuanto a todos los que conocieron a mi hermano, era un niño lleno de vida, siempre sonriendo y riendo sin importar las dificultades. Deja atrás a una madre querida a quien adoraba profundamente, una madre que nunca se separó de él durante su hospitalización y que tenía mucha esperanza y fe en que su bebé saldría adelante. Todos teníamos grandes esperanzas de que realmente superaría esto, pero, por desgracia, Dios tenía otros planes para él. También quiero agradecer a todos por sus oraciones y decirles que agradeceremos todas las donaciones, ya que queremos darle a mi hermano un entierro digno. Gracias...
