Remembering Paquito

In Loving Memory of Alberto “Paquito” (Age 16)

A Bright Light, Taken Too Soon

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

With broken hearts, we share the sudden and tragic loss of our beloved Alberto, lovingly known as “Paquito.” He was just 16 years old when his life was taken in a heartbreaking accident — a loss that has left our entire family in shock and deep sorrow.

Alberto was truly one of a kind. He was the funniest kid you could meet — always joking, always smiling, always bringing light into any room he walked into. His energy was magnetic, his laugh unforgettable, and his love for others ran deep. He had a special bond with his parents and siblings, and being an uncle brought him so much joy. He showed up for his family with his whole heart, and we always knew how much he cared.

We called him “Paquito” because he looked just like his dad, Paco — and that nickname became something special that made us all smile, especially him.

Though he faced challenges, Alberto was growing into such a strong, loving, and grounded young man. He had recently begun focusing more on faith, family, and his future. He was stepping into a better chapter of his life, and we were all so proud of the path he was on.

Losing him this way — so suddenly, so young — is something we will never be able to make sense of. Our hearts are shattered. No words can truly capture the pain of losing someone so full of promise and love.

As we grieve, we are also navigating the unexpected costs of laying him to rest with the love, care, and dignity he deserves. If you feel called to help — through a donation, a prayer, or simply by sharing this page — we would be deeply grateful.

Thank you for loving Alberto — our Paquito — with us. His memory will forever live in our hearts.

With love and gratitude,

Paquito's Family
