Supporting Sophia Negrete’s Education in Memory of Jaime Negrete

It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Jaime Negrete, who left us far too soon at the age of 50. Jaime was a devoted father, a caring family member, and a friend to many. His loss is deeply felt by all who knew and loved him.

Jaime leaves behind his daughter, Sophia Negrete, who is just 19 years old and currently a sophomore at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she is studying advertising. Sophia has big dreams and a bright future ahead of her—she hopes to pursue a career in sports marketing and has already shown incredible determination, talent, and passion for her studies.

As Sophia navigates this heartbreaking loss, she is also facing the financial realities of continuing her education without her father’s support. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to consider donating to this fund to help Sophia stay focused on her education and honor her father’s legacy by continuing to pursue her dreams.

No contribution is too small. Every donation, share, and kind message will help ease the burden on Sophia during this incredibly difficult time and remind her that she is not alone.

Thank you for your generosity, love, and support.
