Hello everyone,

It is with unbearable sadness that we share the devastating news that Leonardo Espinoza Ibarra a cherished member of the Colton, California community, tragically lost his life after being struck by a drunk driver, he was only 19. Our hearts are broken as we face the sudden loss of a son, friend, and loved one whose presence brought warmth and kindness to everyone around him.

Leonardo was someone who always put others first. His smile, his generosity, and the love he showed to family, friends his 2 younger brother and sister, will never be forgotten. Losing him so suddenly has left a tremendous void in our lives—one we are still struggling to comprehend.

We are creating this GoFundMe to support his family during this incredibly painful time. Along with the emotional heartbreak, there are significant financial burdens that come with such an unexpected loss. Your donations will help with:

    •    Funeral and memorial service costs

    •    Burial expenses

    •    Support for Leonardo’s family as they navigate this difficult transition

No family should have to face this kind of tragedy alone. Any contribution—large or small—will make a meaningful difference and will be received with deep gratitude. If you are unable to donate, please help by sharing this fundraiser so we can reach as many people as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read Leonardo’s story and for keeping his family in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness and support mean more than words can express as we honor his memory and begin the long healing process.

Familia Espinoza Ibarra
