In memorial of Ricardo, Gordy, and David

Story:
On the morning of Monday, February 17, 2020, three employees of Grizzly Industrial Group were involved in a tragic accident, which took their lives. The loss of these men has left their family, friends, and coworkers in shock and disbelief. These men, Ricardo Martinez, Alfredo “Gordy” Cuellar, and David Cortes were loyal friends, loving husbands/fathers, and valuable employees. These hard-working men wanted nothing more than to provide for their families and enjoy life with them.

About them:
Ricardo came to the United States from Guanajuato, Mexico for a better life for his family. Ricardo was an amazing man. He was patient, hard-working, and a friend that went above and beyond for anyone. He taught many young men his craft and was open to learning more every day at work. Ricardo loved his wife and daughter very much.

Gordy was a great man. He worked hard all his life to provide for his family. He learned the family trade of civil masonry early in his life and was very good at it. The one thing to sum up Gordy is that when his wife and kids were happy, he was happy. His heart was always close to his family. Gordy was a very kind man with lots of patience. His love for his wife and children was endless

David was a very hard-working young man. There was never a day he didn’t want to come to work. Ricardo and Gordy were David’s mentors and he always looked up to them. He always wanted to go above and beyond what was asked of him. A job wasn’t just a job to him, it was an opportunity to outperform others and it was a way to have a better life for his family. David loved his wife and two daughters very much.

How you can help:
First off, we ask that you join us in prayer for the afflicted families. We also would like to ask you to join us in helping the families of Ricardo, Gordy, and David to assist them with the sudden costs in this unexpected event. Following the end of this fundraiser, all donations will be withdrawn by Grizzly's CEO Mike Glass. He will collect all donations received (both externally and from this campaign), divide the lump sum equally, and then give the checks directly to the families. These contributions will help them with meals, travel, lodging, bills and anything they might need at this time. Your prayers and contributions are greatly appreciated. These men were valuable employees and Grizzly Industrial Group has committed to match the contributions up to the goal of $30,000. God bless you and God bless these families.

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. - Psalm 34:17-18
