Hi, my name is Alex. My father, Miguel Angel Villanueva, passed away 11/25/25 . I have no words to describe this pain and understand why people say it feels like a bad dream and I can't wake myself up out of it. I lost two major paternal figures in my life these past years, and the pain and mental health effects have been beyond what I could imagine.

My father Miguel was a working man most of his life. He had to work at an early age to help take care of his 5 brothers and 4 sisters. He was always jolly and loved to be in high spirits especially after after a hot cup of Sanka or Bustelo. Hot dogs and Ice Cream were the way to his heart. He'd enjoy them while watching his favorite shows Rifleman, Three Stooges, Popeye, Adam 12, Wagon Train, and old school WWF wrestling matches. He was a simple person and it didn't take much to make him happy, just being around his family made his day.

I am trying to raise money to help with funeral expenses for my father. Anyone that knows me knows I hardly ask for anything, and when I have it, I will give to anyone. I will normally struggle in silence and try to get things done myself, but this is beyond my ability. Please, if you can help, anything will be appreciated. Love and blessings to you all.
