Rigoberto “Rigo” Hernandez was just 29 years old when his life was tragically cut short in what appears to be a deliberate hit-and-run incident in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He leaves behind his devoted wife of ten years, Meicy, and their three young children—ages 11, 7, and 3—who adored him. He is also survived by his loving parents, brothers, and sisters. The depth of this loss is immeasurable, and his absence will be felt forever by all who knew and loved him.
Rigo immigrated to the United States to build a safer, brighter future for his family. As a permanent legal resident, he embodied the spirit of the American Dream and was proudly working toward becoming a United States citizen. He was deeply committed to providing for his family and contributing to his community. For nearly a decade, Rigo served as a dedicated member of the East Coast Facilities team, most recently as a Field Supervisor with the Allentown-based Fleet & Logistics group. He cherished his work and the family he found at ECF.
In the wake of this unimaginable tragedy, Rigo’s family is facing not only the heartbreak of losing him, but also the sudden financial burden of funeral expenses and everyday living costs. As both a personal friend and the CEO of East Coast Facilities, Inc., I am organizing this fundraiser to support Rigo's family during this devastating time.
Your generosity will help ease their immediate burden and provide stability as they navigate the difficult days ahead. Please consider donating to support Meicy and the children as they begin the painful process of rebuilding their lives. Any contribution—no matter the amount—will make a meaningful difference and remind this grieving family that they are not alone.
All funds will be transferred to East Coast Facilities, Inc. for proper management and distribution. These funds will cover all funeral, burial, and hospitality-related expenses. Any remaining balance will then be transferred in full to Meicy Merari Herrera Beltrán de Hernández, the wife of Rigoberto.
