It’s with a broken heart that I share the news of my brother’s unexpected passing. There are no words to describe the pain of losing someone so suddenly, someone who meant so much to our family and to everyone who knew him. Three years ago, his wife Esmerelda passed suddenly. These two significant losses come as a shock to the family, especially the children Esmerelda and George have left behind. Noah age 21, Mark age 10 and Leah age 8.

George was full of love, humor, and a light that made life better for the people around him. I will forever cherish the memories we shared and the moments that now feel even more precious.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love, support, and prayers. Please keep our family in your thoughts as we try to navigate this impossible time. This Gofundme will support his surviving family and especially his children, Noah, Mark and Leah.

I love you bro. Rest in peace. You will always be loved, and you will always be missed.

Please donate if you are able to assist with funeral costs. All donations are greatly appreciated to ease the financial burden.
