Jose “Tato” Velez Lopez

A few days ago, we lost one of the most joyful and beloved members of our family, Tio Tato, also A.K.A affectionately known as "Tato Bien!" Up until his last visit with us, he would always express his deep love and affection for all of his nieces, nephews, and his 14 siblings. He was never ashamed to openly show it! He always spoke about his heartfelt emotions and connection to our family.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we come together as a family to give Tio Tato the proper farewell and celebration of life that he deserves. If there is anything you can offer or contribute to support sending out one of our core 14 uncles and aunts from the Velez family! please feel free to share what you can. Your generosity and presence will mean the world to us as we honor the memory of our cherished Tio Tato. All proceeds are going towards Tio Tatos cremation, unfortunately due to lack of funding we will not be able to view him.
