On behalf of the Villegas brothers and Teresa, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved brother and son, Charlie Eddie Diaz. Charlie went to Mexico City in early December on vacation and for future business prospects. He was murdered on December 28, 2025. It has not been easy for the family these past three months, being misinformed and facing barriers, unable to find him, which has delayed precious time. Ralph Villegas was the only person who sought out all these barriers of misinformation about Charlie’s whereabouts and took matters into his own hands, determined to find his brother. With hard work and determination, Ralph & Reann brought our beloved Charlie home. “God will always shine his light into the world's darkness and deceit.”

We are raising funds to cover both repatriation expenses and burial costs to lay him to rest. If you want 100% of your donation to go to Charlie Eddie Diaz, please consider using Venmo/Zelle instead of the GoFundMe link, which charges a percentage fee.❤️
