In Memory of Arnoldo's Vibrant Life

Hello, my name is Jaime, and I am creating this GoFundMe in honor of my nephew by marriage, Arnoldo.

Arnoldo “Choco” Valdez Barraza was born on May 20, 2003. He was a hardworking, 21-year-old young man full of dreams and promise. Arnoldo dedicated himself to his work as a handyman, taking on various projects, from yard work to installing brick walls and building beautiful backyard gazebos. He earned the respect and admiration of everyone he worked with, building a reputation for his kindness and dedication.

Beyond his work, Arnoldo was known for his vibrant personality. He loved spending time with his family and friends, always enjoying music, dancing, and sharing laughter. Though he was a bit shy at first, once he felt comfortable, his playful and goofy side would shine through. He was always ready to lend a hand, bringing warmth and joy to everyone around him.

On the morning of Saturday, March 29th, just shy of his 22nd birthday, our lives were shattered with the heartbreaking news that no one ever wants to receive. Arnoldo tragically passed away, leaving a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and loved ones.

We are raising funds to support his family through this incredibly difficult time and to honor his memory. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean the world to us and would help alleviate some of the financial burdens his family now faces.

Thank you for your support and kindness.
