Victor Torres Perez was a caring, hardworking, responsible father, friend, brother, and family member. He loved the outdoors, and landscaping and gardening were among his greatest passions, aside from fishing. Our family shares countless memories of fishing together, and his nickname, 'Aparato,' came from the loud sound systems and music he loved to play. Victor was always lending a hand to friends and family, bringing joy and support to everyone around him.

He passed away last night after battling colon cancer since 2024. Coping with his loss has been incredibly difficult for our family. I have five siblings, and each of us shared our own unique moments with our father. We are all trying to process this situation in our own way, but the responsibility of covering his funeral costs falls onto us. We have a month to pay these expenses, and it’s an added stress during an already painful time.

I never imagined I'd have to write something like this. My dad meant everything to me, and losing him has left a space in my heart that can never be filled. Right now, my family and I are doing our best to navigate this pain while also trying to give him the goodbye he deserves. We're asking for help to cover the costs of his funeral. Anything you can give—no matter how small—would truly mean the world to us. If you're unable to donate, even sharing this or keeping us in your thoughts and prayers helps more than you know. Thank you for being there during one of the hardest moments of our lives.
