Help Us Lay Sean to Rest

Hello, my name is Joshua Bulitta.

My family is going through the unimaginable. On the morning of June 11th, my brother Sean Hernandez was tragically taken from us—murdered in our mom’s front yard. The pain we’re feeling is indescribable, and we’re still in shock that someone so close to us is suddenly gone.

Sean was the oldest of five siblings—a big brother in every sense of the word. He wasn’t just our brother; he was our protector, our leader, and sometimes, the loudest voice in the room when we needed to laugh. He carried the weight of being the eldest with pride and love, even when life made it hard.

Above all, Sean was incredibly close to our mom. He had a soft spot for her that never faded—always making sure she was taken care of, always checking in, always showing up when it mattered most.

Like many people, Sean faced struggles in his life. He battled personal challenges that sometimes led him down difficult paths. But behind it all, he had a good heart—a loyal, caring soul who loved his family deeply and wanted better for all of us.

We are now facing the painful reality of not only losing him but also trying to give him the proper burial he deserves. We weren’t prepared for this kind of loss, emotionally or financially. Any help, no matter how small, would mean the world to our family—especially our mother, who is trying to hold herself together through an unimaginable heartbreak.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. And thank you for any support you’re able to give.

God bless you.
