On April 18, 2025, our beloved father passed away after a sudden and unexpected battle with colon cancer. Just a month earlier, on March 15, he lost his wife to lung cancer. After her passing, his health quickly declined.

Two weeks ago, he was admitted to the hospital, where doctors found clots in his lungs. Further tests revealed aggressive cancerous masses in his colon and liver that had already begun to spread.

Our dad was the strongest man we knew. He was a provider, a protector, and the heart of our family always putting us first, no matter the cost. In 2016, he experienced the unimaginable loss of his youngest son, and from 2017 to 2023, he suffered 11 strokes and 2 heart attacks brought on by the weight of grief and stress from losing his son and his mother. Despite everything, he never gave up. He kept fighting for us.

He was more than a father he was a devoted brother, a caring son, a proud uncle, and a loyal friend. His love and strength touched everyone who knew him.

Today, my brothers and I are humbly asking for help to cover the funeral and memorial expenses. Just last month, we laid my Fathers wife to rest, and the back-to-back losses have been emotionally and financially overwhelming.

Anything you can contribute means the world to us. We are grateful for your support, your kindness, and your prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

With love and thanks,

Jose Pedro Jr & Family
