Remembering Raul Aldaco: A Life of Service

Raul Aldaco
November 8, 1962 - December 29, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Raul Aldaco on December 29, 2024, in Downey, California. Raul was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, pastor, friend, and businessman whose life was a testament to love, faith, and service.
Raul had a passion for life that was evident to everyone who knew him. He was a man of many talents and interests—a lover of guitars and amps, Harleys, and Porsches. His love for music extended beyond playing and collecting instruments; he owned a guitar repair shop where he brought new life to treasured instruments for musicians in the community.
Family meant everything to Raul. He was a devoted husband, a proud father to five children, and a loving grandfather to four grandchildren. Alongside his spiritual guidance as a pastor, he poured his energy into supporting his family in every way he could, including consulting for his sons’ heating and air business.
Raul's sudden departure has left a void in the lives of all who loved him. In this time of loss, we are coming together to honor his memory and provide support to his wife Mary Lou Aldaco and family as they navigate the difficult days ahead without him.
This GoFundMe is being created to help cover memorial expenses and provide financial support to Raul's family as they adjust to this unexpected loss. Any contribution, big or small, is deeply appreciated and will go directly to easing the burden on his loved ones during this challenging time.
