With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Rafael Brizuela Gutierrez, who left us on Friday, April 3, 2026, at the age of 47.

Rafael was a loving father, son, brother, uncle, and friend whose warmth, laughter, and playful spirit touched everyone who knew him. He had a funny and mischievous personality, but above all, he had a deeply caring heart and endless love for his family.

He leaves behind his two beautiful daughters, Nayeli (16) and Samantha (15), who were the light of his life and his greatest pride. Everything Rafael did was for them. He was a devoted father who worked tirelessly to provide love, support, and happiness for his girls.

Rafael dedicated 14 years of hard work to Daylight Foods and later continued his career with Reliable Concepts, where he was known for his reliability, dedication, and strong work ethic.

As our family navigates this heartbreaking loss, we are asking for support to help cover funeral expenses, memorial services, and the transportation costs to lay Rafael to rest in his hometown of Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, Mexico, where he will be buried surrounded by family and loved ones.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask that you share this fundraiser and keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for helping us honor Rafael’s life, love, and memory.
