Memorial fund for Orlando

On Friday, July 20th, 2018, my family lost a very important pillar of support, my older brother Orlando. Along with this devastating, emotional loss, my family is now having to deal with a quickly growing list of expenses that we were not prepared for. Anything you can give will help soften the financial blow of having to settle his accounts and deal with the legal side of things, along with funeral related expenses.

The loss of my older brother Orlando was greatly unexpected, and devastating for everyone that knew him. He was like a second father to my younger siblings, supporting them while our dad and I would be working out of town during the week. He provided great emotional support to my mother, and he helped all of us hold ourselves together. He was a really great guy, who kept us all pushing forwards.  Even when we were butting heads, we all knew we still loved each other deeply. He always took charge and made his own decisions in life, and he always held his beliefs and values strongly. He always had a special spark in him, one that kept a smile on his face and brought happiness to our family. He introduced me to motorcycling, and no matter how much practice I got riding, he was always the faster rider between the two of us.  We made a lot of memories throughout his life, and those memories will never fade.

Thank you for reading our story, and again, any amount you can donate will help us greatly getting through this difficult time.
