Juan Pimentel

Donation protected
It is with our deepest sorrow and pain that we announce the death of Juan Pimentel. After battling ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord) for the past 2.5 years, our beloved friend Juan lost his battle on August 15, 2016. Juan was preceded in death by his parents, Adela and Don Richard. He is survived by his sisters, Gladys and Oreida, and his brother Walter. Juan was a caring son, brother, uncle, and friend. Those who knew Juan knew he was a family guy who enjoyed fishing, baseball and Baja races. Donations are greatly appreciated and will be use to cover burial expenses as their funds have been depleted due to his illness. Any money left over after burial expenses will be gifted to his sister, Gladys, who took on the role of sole care giver, relocating back to the Imperial Valley and quitting her job to care for Juan fulltime until his passing. Please join us in prayer, monetary donations, and emotional support as we say our last goodbyes to a beautiful soul that left us too soon.
*Details about memorial will be provided when family has more information.

Con el corazon destrozado les compartimos que Juan Pimentel fallecio el día Lunes 15 de Agosto tras una larga batalla de dos años y medio contra ELA (Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrofica-una enfermedad neuro de generativa progresiva que afecta a las células nerviosas del cerebro y de la medula espinal). Juan deja atrás sus hermanas, Gladys y Oreida, y a su hermano Walter. Aquellos que conocieron a Juan sabían que era hombre de familia. Le encantaba ir de pesca,el beisbol y las carerras en Baja. Después de la muerte de sus padres, Don Richard y Adela, Juan se hizo cargo de sus hermanos menores, trabajando para ayudarlos hasta que se enfermó. Siguiendo sus deseos, Juan sera enterrado y tendra un servicio en los siguientes dias. Mas informacion se dara a conocer cuando la familia tenga los detalles. Se solitan donaciones monetaria para poder llevar acabo los ultimos deseos de Juan, ya que la familia no cuenta con los resursos. Cualquier dinero extra, sera donado a su hermana Gladys, ya que ella regreso a vivir al Valle Imperial, dejando su trabajo para cuidar a Juan tiempo completo al saber que la emfermedad avanzaba rapidamente. Cualquier donación, oraciones y apoyo moral seran muy agradecidas.
