On February 5th, my brother Juan Pulido was violently attacked, and after spending 2 1/2 weeks fighting for his life in the ICU, he succumbed to his injuries on February 21st.

Juan was a son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, and cousin, as well as a great friend to many. He meant so much to so many and was loved by those whose lives he touched. Although Juan led a difficult life for many years due to the illness of addiction, his illness never stopped him from being a compassionate, selfless human being who would share his last bite of food or the shirt off his back with anyone in need.

Juan was only 38 years old at the time of his passing. His tragic and unexpected death has left his family reeling, heartbroken, and devastated.

Many have reached out and asked how they can show support for Juan's family in this incredibly difficult time. His family would greatly appreciate any help to cover Juan's funerary expenses so that he may be laid to rest.

We thank you and appreciate your heartfelt condolences and support during this incredibly difficult time.
