We are extremely saddened to share that on 6/30/2023 our Fernando passed away. Fernando was a devoted father to his beautiful daughter, Kylee. A committed son to his parents. A loving brother to his 3 siblings. He was a pillar to our family but also had enough love for everyone— friends, strangers, and animals. He was a passionate writer who expressed his emotions through poetry and songwriting to heal and connect with others. We’ll remember him as the loudest one to sing happy birthday, the early bird who woke us up with music, the competitive one at family game nights, and the one who made us laugh the most. He was present with his time, a great listener, and always left people better than he found them. He gave every ounce of light and heart until his last breath, so much so that we found out he was an organ donor and wanted to continue giving life to others. His legacy will live on forever because of all the beautiful moments and teachings he left us with. We are asking for contributions to honor him and say our last goodbyes on earth. They will be used to cover funeral expenses, pending costs and to start a college fund for his daughter. We thank you for your thoughtful consideration and appreciate any prayers to help give us strength and guide Fernando to eternal peace. Please help by spreading the link so we can reach others. Update 7/12/2023 - We have been informed by the aftercare program for organ donors (One Legacy) that all of Fernando's organs have been recovered. Although we are extremely saddened that he is no longer with us, we find some light in knowing that his organs will save the lives of a few people. Nothing can ever heal our pain after losing him, but at least he will be able to help grant a miracle to other families. Thanks for you all & god bless
