(Funeral details at the end)

Jose was a dear friend who only got to experience one day of 2026 before his life was cut short. He was found by his little brother the following day, leaving his family and friends in shock and deep sorrow. The suddenness of his passing has left a void in the lives of everyone who knew him, especially his family, who are now facing the unimaginable task of saying goodbye far too soon.

Jose’s family is now faced with the unexpected burden of funeral expenses. As they navigate this heartbreaking time, we want to come together as a community to support them and help ease some of the financial stress. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward covering the costs of Jose’s funeral, allowing his loved ones to focus on honoring his memory and supporting each other.

From Jose’s dad: 'It would mean the world to me to show how much people cared about him. We would like to show what my son thought about himself was wrong, that he was loved more than he knew. We will never forget those who contribute in any way. Thank you.'

Your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, will make a meaningful difference for Jose’s family. Thank you for helping us honor his memory and show his family how much he was truly loved.'
