On February 13, 2026, our beloved Erik David Zepeda tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident on Sunrise Boulevard in what authorities believe may have been a possible hit-and-run. Erik was a devoted father to three children, a loving son, and a man of faith. His sudden passing has left his family heartbroken and facing an overwhelming emotional and financial burden.

The immediate need is to cover funeral home expenses and transportation costs. It is Erik’s mother’s heartfelt wish to bring her son’s body back to Honduras, so he can be laid to rest in his homeland surrounded by family. Beyond the funeral expenses, Erik leaves behind three children who will now grow up without their father. Any funds raised beyond the immediate funeral needs will go toward helping support his children during this incredibly difficult time.

No mother should have to bury her son. No child should have to lose their father this way. We are asking for your help to cover these expenses and support Erik's children. Every donation — no matter the amount — makes a difference. If you are unable to donate, please share this fundraiser so we can reach others who may be able to help. We are also praying for justice and for anyone with information about this incident to come forward. Thank you for your generosity, your prayers, and your support during this heartbreaking time. Rest in peace, Erik. You will never be forgotten.
