Support Rene Ajcá's Family in Their Time of Loss

Hello friends and family, my name is Bianca Torres Ajcá, and I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my father in laws, Rene Ajcá, story.

On May 18, 2025, Rene Ajcá, a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great grandfather lost his battle to Pulmonary Fibrosis (non-smoker) at the age of 68, leaving behind his wife, his five children along with his eight grandchildren and his great granddaughter, who miss him deeply. Rene fought hard against this Illness for over two years. An illness that consisted of numerous Emergency Room visits, hospitalizations, many doctor visits, various medications, and many treatment options that were attempted. Up to his last breath, Rene demonstrated the love he had for his family by staring directly into his family members eyes and smiling at them with so much peace and love, given that this was his only way of communicating, due to the progression of his illness. Rene was a kind and loyal person, he was outgoing, funny, giving, and loving.

René was born in Guatemala and grew up with both his parents and his 12 siblings. At a young age he began working to help provide the basic necessities for his family. Since then, he’s been an honorable working person. As an adult, Rene enjoyed spending time with his family, drinking coffee, making people laugh, working on his cars, going to the swapmeet on the weekends, and eating Chinese food. Rene also cared for his animal, such as chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and his dogs. Rene was the type of person that could be contacted at 2am for a favor and without hesitation he would be there for the person in need. He never complained when it came to helping those in need, in fact, he always put others before himself.

No one is ever prepared to lose a beloved one, and in this case the family was hoping René would have returned home to continue fighting against this illness, but unfortunately this was not the case. Rene’s family will be working a fundraiser to raise money to help pay for his funeral expenses, but in addition, René’s family is asking for donations that will be used towards his funeral expense, given that the current basic funeral expense has been quoted to be approximately $25,000-$30,000. So if you are able to donate towards René’s funeral expenses to help his family lay him to rest, they greatly appreciate your support. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.

Hola amigos y familiares, mi nombre es Bianca Torres Ajcá, y realmente agradezco que se tomen un momento para leer la historia de mi suegro, René Ajcá.

El 18 de mayo de 2025, René Ajcá, un amado esposo, padre, hermano, tío, abuelo y bisabuelo, perdió su batalla contra la fibrosis pulmonar (no fumador) a la edad de 68 años, dejando atrás a su esposa, sus cinco hijos, sus ocho nietos y su bisnieta, quienes lo extrañan profundamente. René luchó arduamente contra esta enfermedad durante más de dos años. Una enfermedad que consistió en numerosas visitas a la sala de emergencias, hospitalizaciones, muchas visitas al médico, diversos medicamentos y muchas opciones de tratamiento que se intentaron. Hasta su último aliento, René demostró el amor que sentía por su familia mirándolos directamente a los ojos y sonriéndoles con tanta paz y amor, ya que esta era su única forma de comunicarse, debido al progreso de su enfermedad. René era una persona amable y leal, extrovertida, divertida, generosa y cariñosa.

René nació en Guatemala y creció con sus padres y sus 12 hermanos. Desde niño comenzó a trabajar para ayudar a cubrir las necesidades básicas de su familia. Desde entonces, ha sido un trabajador honorable. De adulto, disfrutaba pasar tiempo con su familia, tomar café, hacer reír a la gente, arreglar sus autos, ir al swapmeet los fines de semana y comer comida china. También le gustaba cuidar de sus animales, como las gallinas, los patos, los gansos, los conejos y los perros. René era de esas personas a las que se podía contactar a las 2 de la mañana para pedir un favor y, sin dudarlo, estaba ahí para quien lo necesitara. Nunca se quejaba de ayudar a los necesitados; de hecho, siempre priorizaba a los demás.

Nadie está preparado para perder a un ser querido, y en este caso, la familia esperaba que René regresara a casa para seguir luchando contra esta enfermedad, pero lamentablemente no fue así. La familia de René organizará una campaña para recaudar fondos para cubrir los gastos funerarios, pero además, solicita donaciones para cubrirlos, dado que el presupuesto actual se estima en aproximadamente $25,000-$30,000. Si puede donar para los gastos funerarios de René y ayudar a su familia a encontrar su último descanso, agradecemos enormemente su apoyo. Agradecemos enormemente sus pensamientos y oraciones.
