Dear community,

One of my dearest friends, Lauren Badajos, recently her dad passed away, Larry Badajos. Larry was facing some severe health conditions during the pandemic which got progressively worse as time passed by.

On December 2, Larry passed away on Friday evening alongside his family and community.

Throughout his life, Larry was a generous, kind, and warm-hearted person who helped anyone he could. He was an amazing friend, a passionate representative, and a devoted father to Lauren and will be missed by so many.

Larry dedicated his life to help everyone around him and he never asked for anything in return. He passionately supported his favorite sports teams, Dodgers, USC, Rams and the Lakers. But most importantly, he supported his community.

Lauren will need your support to navigate this tragic loss. We hope to raise enough funds to cover funeral expenses also they can focus on healing during this difficult time. Lauren and her loved ones are thankful for any support you are able to provide.
