As many of you may remember, I started a GoFundMe for Alonso Campos a few years ago, due to his fight against cancer. He fought incredibly hard. Devastatingly, he passed away on March 30,2026, and is survived by his wife Kaibeth and his Eleven year old daughter, Valentina and his young son, Adrian. I am heartbroken to learn of his untimely passing, and know that his family is not only devastated and grieving, but facing financial hardship due to this loss. Kaibeth is a full time caregiver for two young children, and therefore cannot work full time. Anything you can give will help them support their young family.
here are some words from Alonso’s brother in law, Seth:
My name is Seth and my wife Mayela's 41 year old brother Alonso Campos Perez has non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. They are from a proud coffee farming family located in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. We have been assisting Alonso for the past two years as he had treatment in the capital San Jose, sometimes an ordealing two to three day trip in a not so great ambulance with three other patients. Unfortunately, Alonso was recently notified that curative treatments are no longer working and he will only receive palliative care in his remaining months. Alonso will be survived by his wife Kaibeth and his Eleven year old daughter, Valentina and and his young son, Adrian.
We are asking for support for Alonso's family in these trying times as his primary caregiver is Kaibeth and she is unable to work as this is a full time job. Obviously we will continue our assistance but were hoping for additional help from caring folks like yourselves.
about his funeral:
On the day of Alonso’s funeral, it was warm and windy in Brasilito, a small town next to the Pacific Ocean in the Guanacaste Region of Costa Rica. As Alonso was from Zaragoza de Nicoya, almost two hours away from Brasilito, a contingent of his family and friends arrived by mini-van, motorcycles and autos to the Church for a service prior to the burial a few kilometers away in Huacas. Alonso’s brothers Cristian and Luis had been working on the gravesite prior to service, building what Luis called a “boveda” or vault for the casket. After the local priest conducted the church service, a heartfelt sermon was delivered by Alonso’s sister Ana and brother-in-law Allen which led many to tears. After the service, as is typical in Latin American countries, the family and friends hoisted the casket onto their shoulders and paraded Alonso around town, causing a considerable traffic jam, but of course, nobody honked. The procession then make the 15 minute trek to the cemetery where final heartfelt goodbyes were made and Alonso was laid to rest.
