Jesus Garcia Santiago

Yesterday my family got the worst news anyone would dread to hear. My cousin who I saw like a brother had passed away. My little brother who just turned 17 last month, who still had lots to accomplish in life was no longer with us.

My parents who have the biggest heart brought my cousin from Mexico to Oregon when he was about 8 years old. They wanted to provide him with the resources and with the opportunity for him to prosper in life since Jesus came from a family with little to no resources.

We saw him grow up. We made lots of memories together. My kids loved him so much that seeing them break down in tears after hearing the news of his passing broke my heart even more. There is no easy way to deal with the loss of a love one.

I hope that GOD gives my family, especially my parents who saw him like a son the strength to move on and to move forward in life. Though it may not be by his side but to live with all the beautiful memories we had as a family.

After contacting Jesus mother who is in Oaxaca, Mexico, we decided to send him there. That is why I am asking for help from everyone. Any contribution is greatly appreciated.

Again, Thank you all who have reached out to my family. It’s been hectic and I apologize if I haven’t replied to everyone’s messages.

I will post updates on Jesus funeral services.
