Hello, our dad, Johnny Valle, passed away this morning Wednesday 11/23/16 of cancer. His wife & all his children were by his side. Our father was a strong man and we love him so very much. We want to thank all of you who have supported us during this difficult time.
Please know we appreciate every hug, prayer, and kind gesture that has been given to our father and to us. We are fortunate to have been able to tell our father everything we needed to say to him before he passed, which greatly gives us some peace.
Now our family is planning the funeral arrangements. Please share our father's story so that many people know what he went through. Any little bit helps. We need help now more than ever to lay our father to peace. He has no life insurance. His last request was to make sure all funeral arrangements were made, and that is what we will do with your help. Below is our original post, please read to know our father's story.
Hello, our names are Tania, Mary, Traci, and Johnny and we are organizing this fundraiser for our dad, Benny Valle. Some of you may call him Johnny or even Johnny Boy. He was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and now only has a very limited time to spend with us and the rest of the family.
Just a little over a month ago our dad was diagnosed with HepatoCellular Carcinoma (Adult Liver Cancer) and he had two tumors on his liver, one the size of an apple and other the size of a quarter. When our father first told us we were devastated. However, we united as a family to help our father attempt to kick cancer's butt. Within this month, our father's battle with cancer has become even more challenging.
Just 11 days after his 1st and only mapping procedure to cut off the blood supply to the biggest tumor, our dad began having severe pain in the upper abdomen. Luckily our youngest sister Ariana knew to call for help because if she had not our dad would not be with us even today. Mary and Johnny rushed our dad to the ER on October 17th and after emergency surgery, on October 18th Dr. Clemmons informed us the tumor had grown aggressive and ruptured. He resected a huge portion of his liver and he considered the procedure to be successful. The next few days would be vital to our dad's recovery in ICU. Thanks to the great family support and many prayers our father made it out of ICU on October 22nd.
During this time we learned the cancer had spread to our father's lungs and preaortic lymph nodes and the physician's explained to us the time with our Dad would be very limited due to metastatic cancer from the tumor rupturing.
Unfortunately, our Dad does not have any form of life insurance and we unfortunately don't have much time to come up with $1,000's of dollars when all we want to do is be by our Dad's side day in and day out. This is everyone's worst nightmare and we have hesitated setting up this account because we are not the type of family to ask for handouts. However, now is not a time for us to be proud. All of this is very hard for us to accept because we have always visualized him as our "Man of Steel", the Dad that can do anything.
He may be 64yrs old but he works as if he is 30 and he may not be rich but he has always given us what we needed. He spends his time helping others, always with our youngest sister at West High School watching her as the team mascot at football games or watching his grandkids so we don't have to pay a babysitter. He is also an awesome "Dance Dad" and helps set up props for their performances & takes them around town to fundraise for the dance school. He always makes sure he is there to help everyone he possibly can, he has a huge heart! No matter how hard he works he makes sure he attends church every Sunday at Our Lady of Sorrows. He makes sure to put in his work there as well by being an Usher!
So as his 4 eldest children we ask for your help to lay our father to peace. It's his last wish as he prepares to leave us for his final resting place. We hope we have been able to give you an idea of the type of man our father, Benny "Johnny" Valle is and how much he means to us. Our dad has a total of five kids Tania (38yrs), Mary (31yrs), Traci (30yrs), Johnny (27yrs), Katlynn (20yrs), Ariana (17yrs), wife Vanessa and 5 beautiful grandsons.
Most of all please remember our Dad, remember his story and thanks for stopping by our page! Enjoy the pictures, we love him so much and appreciate all of you for any support that is provided, whether it is donations, good thoughts, or prayers. Help us help him kick cancer's butt so we can have just one more day with him!!!
Thank you from the Valle Family ❤️!!
