A year after I, Juan Carlos's son, was diagnosed with cancer, my father was diagnosed with colon cancer. He had been fighting for 7 months when he finally passed away at 11:20 PM on June 6, 2019. He spent those 7 months with difficulty but still made the most out of it trying to live day by day. His treatment was slowly working when we suddenly got news about over a month ago that his treatment wasn't working anymore. He was then hospitalized 2 weeks later and came back home worse than before. He could barely walk, speak, and eat. On June 6, he couldn't open his eyes and no longer spoke. Family and friends were able to say their goodbyes through out the day. An hour before passing, tears came out of his eyes, confirming that he listened and understood everything. He passed while we sang the word of God to him, surrounded by many loved ones in his home. My mother, brother, and I have thankfully learned to truly love and appreciate my father. We have learned to accept and love God's will and plan for our family. We have learned to no longer only mourn his death but to also celebrate his life with happiness. His death is giving life to hundreds upon hundreds right now. Now, we humbly ask for your your help. We have planned the funeral and ask for your help to cover the costs that come with it. My mother doesn't work so she can take care of my younger brother and I, especially since I still go through my own chemotherapy. We look to your generosity and God's providence for help in this difficult time.  May Juan Carlos Razuri-Hora, an amazing father, son, husband, uncle, and friend rest in peace in paradise. Norma Maldonado Elguera is my loving aunt who will look over the money for us. Thank you and God bless. 


Un año después de que a mí, Yo Juan Carlos hijo me diagnosticaron cáncer, a mi padre le diagnosticaron cáncer de colon. Había estado luchando durante 7 meses cuando finalmente falleció a las 11:20 PM el 6 de junio de 2019. Pasó esos 7 meses con dificultad pero aún así aprovechó al máximo tratando de vivir día a día. Su tratamiento estaba funcionando lentamente cuando de repente nos enteramos hace más de un mes que su tratamiento ya no estaba funcionando. Luego fue hospitalizado,  hace 2 semanas  y regresó a casa peor que antes. Apenas podía caminar, hablar y comer. El 6 de junio, no pudo abrir los ojos y ya no habló. La familia y los amigos pudieron despedirse todo el día. Una hora antes de pasar, las lágrimas salieron de sus ojos, confirmando que escuchó y entendió todo. Pasó mientras le cantábamos la palabra de Dios, rodeado de muchos seres queridos en su hogar. Mi madre, mi hermano y yo, afortunadamente, hemos aprendido a amar y apreciar a mi padre de verdad. Hemos aprendido a aceptar y amar la voluntad y el plan de Dios para nuestra familia. Hemos aprendido no solo a llorar su muerte, sino también a celebrar su vida con felicidad. Su muerte está dando vida a cientos y cientos en este momento. Ahora, humildemente pedimos su ayuda. Hemos planeado el funeral y pedimos su ayuda para cubrir los costos que vienen con él. Mi madre no trabaja para poder cuidar de mi hermano menor y de mí, especialmente porque todavía me someto a mi propia quimioterapia. Esperamos su generosidad y la providencia de Dios en busca de ayuda en este momento difícil.  Juan Carlos Razuri-Hora, un maravilloso padre, hijo, esposo, hermano, tío y amigo descansa en paz en el paraíso. Gracias y Dios te bendiga.
