Hello, my name is Erica Nash, and I am the mother of Lazarus Gonzales well known as HOLLYWOOD.

I never imagined I would have to write something like this. On February 19, our family suffered the most heartbreaking loss when HOLLYWOOD was taken from us in a tragic car accident. He was just a young man with his whole life ahead of him, and in an instant, our world was turned upside down.

HOLLYWOOD was more than my son; he was a shining light in our family. His smile could lift anyone’s spirits, and his heart was full of love. He brought laughter, joy, and warmth wherever he went. Losing him leaves a pain that words cannot fully express.

Our family is grieving deeply, and at the same time, we are facing unexpected expenses related to laying HOLLYWOOD to rest and supporting one another through this incredibly difficult time. I created this GoFundMe to help ease some of that burden so we can focus on mourning, healing, and honoring HOLLYWOOD’s life.

Any donation, no matter the size, will be deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this post and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

We are truly grateful for every kind word, act of support, and gesture of compassion during this unimaginable time.

Thank you for taking the time to read HOLLYWOOD’s story and for helping us keep his memory alive.
