I'm saddened to announce that we lost a dear friend Rafael Fonseca yesterday morning. He had been fighting the Covid-19 virus hard the last few weeks and his battle ended Saturday September 18th. As you can imagine, this loss has left his family devastated.

 

His dear wife Amy and their two beautiful kids (12 & 10) are now dealing with a terrible and unexpected grief and they could really use an outpouring of love & support.

 

Rafael will be transported back to his home state of Texas to be buried in a veterans cemetery so there will be no local services.

 

We have started a fund to help out his family with any expenses that may arise. We want to help alleviate some of the financial hardship for them.

 

It is in these times of loss and sadness when people come together to help one another make it through, to support the people we care for. Any support you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Please keep Amy and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

 

 

 

 

 

"The first time I saw Raf I immediately noticed the protective and safe presence he radiated for the one who he cared for and adored, his lovely wife Amy. A family man of high values and integrity who was tenacious and held transparency to a high regard. Raf loved to spend quality time with friends and family at intimate gatherings where he was always seeking out ways to please others. His laugh was contagious and perfectly timed punch lines made for good comedic timing and sarcasm. Raf (dragon/rabbit) enjoyed Chinese horoscopes and astrology. A father of 2, husband, son, brother and friend Raf took pride in communicating to those he cared for most and ensuring they knew just how special they were to him. A selfless man, a teddy bear, a caretaker, a friend…"

 

"Raf was a true friend and loved by many. He had a smile that lit up a room and a heart of gold. He didn't give a second thought to offering help to others. He will be missed dearly by many"
