Remembering Angel: A Heart of Gold

Donation protected




On January 25, 2025, I received an alert from my nephew's phone notifying me that he had been in an accident. Angel was the oldest of 4 and leaves behind his younger siblings and parents. Angel was a son, a nephew, a friend, and for all those that knew him, they said he was a young man with a heart of gold. He was always giving and always smiling. He strived to become more in life and had so many plans.

But his life had been cut too soon. Upon arrival at the scene, he was pronounced dead on arrival. Angel was 21 years old and still discovering life. His life was cut short due to the other party involved driving at an excessive speed. The driver had fled the scene, leaving my nephew and his close friend Fonsi, who also did not make it. This accident has claimed the lives of two young men who were simply just making their way home. Both families have lost a loved one and we are both connected not only by our loved ones friendship but forever having to remember this tragic event that has taken a loved one from both of us.

Our goal is to help lay him to rest and to also get his mother here to have her have her final goodbyes. All proceeds will go to his funeral costs and reuniting his remains with his mother if she is unable to be present for his services.

Angel was loved by all. Everyone he met will tell you that he wanted to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. His smile was the most contagious thing in this world. And will forever be remembered by those he met.

For those of you who knew Angel, know that he did not suffer and is now flying high watching over all of us. Though words cannot describe the emotions our family is experiencing, we are reaching out for help to lay him to rest. During these difficult times, we appreciate any help that we can get. Thank you all. Even if you are unable to donate please share this so that we can spread the word.
