Our beloved brother Andy passed away unexpectedly on May 28, 2025. He was just 36-years-old.
Andy was a bright light in our lives. He was a proud father, full of love – and full of jokes! If you knew Andy, you knew he was silly. But he was also very caring, and it was not hard to find a connection with him. Andy certainly had his struggles, but he was doing so much better. He was in the process of rebuilding a new life for himself and was taking the steps necessary to create a bright future.
Andy is survived by his 17-year-old son, Anthony. He also leaves behind his father Rafael and siblings Rafael, Valerie, Jose (“Bono”), Sophia and Michelle. Andy also had 11 nieces and nephews, and many more friends and family who loved him very much.
Many have asked how you can help, so we are creating this GoFundMe to make the process easy. The money will be used to pay for his funeral service and burial. You can also donate directly to one of the siblings via an app – just message me for more info.
Thank you for all the love and prayers. We are all heartbroken. The only comfort we have is knowing that Andy is finally at home and at peace with our mom.
