With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Robert “Chico” Mendez on December 17, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer throughout this year. Chico fought with strength, grace, and resilience, and he was deeply loved by all who knew him. He was a devoted husband, father, uncle, and grandfather, and his memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Chico’s kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering support touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

As our family navigates this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden and allow us to focus on honoring Chico’s life and memory. Your generosity will help us come together to celebrate his life and say goodbye in a way that truly reflects the love he gave to all of us.

We are truly grateful for every donation, share, prayer, and kind word. Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey and continues to keep our family in your thoughts during this time of loss.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the following people: Marina Mendez or Tina Diaz.
