Hi to whomever is reading this,

My name is Wendy Torrez, Juan Ramon Trujillo's daughter. We come to you with heavy hearts to share the story of a man who was able to overcome one of the darkest challenges to embrace the brightest moments of his life. My dad died at the age of 64 from abdominal cancer. He leaves behind 4 children and was a grandfather to 5 beautiful grandchildren. He was a great example that it was never too late to turn his life around for the better. He triumphed over his addictions to be given a second chance at life. To have the opportunity to build a loving relationship and to cherish his grandchildren.

Sadly, his second chance was cut short. My dad was diagnosed with cancer in August 2022. Chemo did not work for him and the cancer eventually ended up spreading. On September 29, 2023, we were told by his doctor that he did not see my father living past another month. On the night of October 24, 2023 my father took his last breath with his family by his side. My dad was able to cherish every moment he had with his family, especially his grandchildren. Their laughter, stories, and innocence brought an immeasurable joy to his life and at times eased the pain in which he had to endure.

This is where we are reaching out to you, our friends, family, and community. We kindly ask for your support in helping us honor my father’s memory and ensure that his legacy and love lives on. Your contribution will go towards covering the costs associated with his funeral. Your generosity will not only ease our financial burden but will also serve as a tribute to a man who fought valiantly to become a better father and grandfather for his family. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a significant impact. #cancer #memorialservice #support #raisemoney 

With heartfelt gratitude,

Wendy Torrez

A quien esté leyendo esto,

Mi nombre es Wendy Torrez, hija de Juan Ramón Trujillo. Acudimos a ustedes con gran pesar para compartir la historia de un hombre que pudo superar uno de los desafíos más oscuros para apreciar los momentos más brillantes de su vida. Mi papá murió a la edad de 64 años de cáncer abdominal. Deja 4 hijos y fue abuelo de 5 hermosos nietos. Él fue un gran ejemplo de que nunca era demasiado tarde para mejorar su vida. Triunfó sobre sus adicciones para tener una segunda oportunidad en la vida. Tener la oportunidad de construir una relación hermosa y apreciar a sus nietos.

Lamentablemente, su segunda oportunidad fue cortada pronto. A mi papá le diagnosticaron cáncer en agosto de 2022. La quimioterapia no le funcionó y el cáncer se le regó. El 29 de septiembre de 2023, su médico nos dijo que no veía a mi papá vivir otro mes mas. La noche del 24 de octubre de 2023 mi papá dio su último suspiro con su familia a su lado. Mi papá pudo apreciar cada momento que tuvo con su familia, especialmente con sus nietos. Sus risas, historias e inocencia trajeron una alegría inconmensurable a su vida y aliviaron el dolor que tuvo que soportar.

Aquí es donde nos comunicamos con usted, nuestros amigos, familiares y comunidad. Le pedimos amablemente su apoyo para ayudarnos a honrar la memoria de mi papá y garantizar que su legado y su amor sigan vivos. Su contribución se destinará a cubrir los costos asociados con el funeral. Su generosidad no sólo aliviará nuestra carga financiera sino que también servirá como tributo a un hombre que luchó valientemente para convertirse en un mejor padre y abuelo para su familia. Su donación, sin importar el tamaño, tendrá un impacto significativo.

Con sincero agradecimiento,

Wendy Torrez y familia
