*En Español abajo del ingles*

Joaquin Hernan Ricalde Magaña, was born in Isla Mujeres Mexico in February 19,1964 where he lived and grew up. My father was a great person, a great father, and a selfless human being, he had the quality of giving to those in need even if he himself was going through a hard time.  I remember I asked my dad why did he give the only money he had left in his wallet to a homeless person on the street during a time we were going through a financial crisis in our lives and he said to which I'll never forget  "Everyone deserves a chance at happiness and even if my circumstances are bad and all I have is a dollar in my wallet, if it'll bring joy to another then I don't need it."

My family was a happy family that consisted of four people, my dad (Joaquin), my mother(Annia), and my sister(Joana) and I(Rommel). My mother has a disease called Fibromyalgia which debilitates her nerves, muscles and joints making her unable to work therefore she stayed at home and kept the house clean. My father was the sole provider of our family since my sister is in high school and  I had just started college with the hopes of becoming a professional and paying my parents trips to wherever they wanted whenever my dad  retired, and I now know that won't be possible.

We lost our father august 28,2020 in a plane crash that took the lives of both pilots, my father and Nissan his only true friend and coworker. Their plane crashed in pompano beach Florida due to reasons still unknown but one thing is for sure, both pilots had over 30 years of experience and thousands of flight hours so whatever comes to light will show these great men and fathers did all that was possible to get home to their families.

This moment in time my family needs financial assistance and prayers for my family and Nissan's family so that we can get through this hard times together. Any contribution will help us stabilize and keep the house my father put so much effort in to.

I love my father and he will forever be a great man, a great father, he will not be forgotten and his name will live with dignity forever.

Thank you- Rommel Daniel Ricalde

Joaquin Hernan Ricalde Magaña, nacio en isla mujeres mexico en Febrero 19 del 1964, donde vivio su niñez y crecio. Mi padre fue una persona bondadosa, una gran persona, y sobre todo un gran padre sin igual. Mi padre tenia la cualidad de querer ayudar a todos aunque a veces se viera en tiempos dificiles. Me acuerdo en una occasion le pregunte "Papa porque le das el unico dollar que tienes un tu cartera a ese vagabundo en la calle?" y me respondio con una enseñanza que nunca se me olvidara, " Todos merecemos felicidad y aunque estemos pasando por tiempos feos y dificiles ,y lo que tenga sea casi nada, si a otra persona le trae felicidad, con eso me siento satisfecho."

Mi familia era una familia feliz que consistia de cuatro personas, mi padre (Joaquin), mi madre (Annia), mi hermana (Joana) y yo (Rommel). Mi madre siempre a tenido problemas medicos como su fibriomyalgia que consiste de problemas articulares y musculares porque sus nervios estan afectados, por esa razon ella no trabajaba y cuidaba la casa. Mi padre trabajaba y era el unico provedor de mi familia, porque mi hermana esta en la prepa, y yo acababa de empezar la universidad con deseos de volverme un profesional y pagarle a mis padres cuando se retirara mi padre, sus viajes a donde ellos quicieran. Ahora se que eso nunca pasara.

Mi padre murio en un accidente de avion en agosto 28 del 2020, el y su compañero al igual que amigo Nissan se estrellaron en Pompano beach florida por razones todavia desconocidas pero algo es muy claro los dos eran pilotos profesionales con mas de 30 años de experiencia y miles de horas de vuelo, por lo tanto lo que salga a la luz enseñara  que ellos eran gran hombres y gran padres que hicieron todo lo posible para llegar a casa con sus familias.

En este momento mi familia necesita ayuda financiara y oracion para mi padre y Nissan, para que podramos pasar por estos tiempos dificiles. Cualquier contribucion nos ayudara a estabilizarnos y mantener la casa que mi padre puso tanto esfuerzo en tener.

Yo amo a mi padre, y en mi corazon siempre sera un gran padre y un gran hombre, nunca nos olvidaremos de el y su nombre vivera en dignidad para siempre.

Gracias- Rommel Daniel Ricalde
