No tenemos palabras para expresar la perdida y tristeza que sentimos al perder a nuestro Hermano,  a un hijo, padre, tío y cuñado. Se ha ido a estar con nuestro señor. El era una persona de gran corazón, el era capaz de quitarse la camisa para dársela a quien la necesitara. El te daba su plato de comida si se lo pidieras o si veía que tenías hambre o por simple antojo. Él daría su vida para mantenerte a salvo. El era muy especial, pero a la vez muy humilde y protector. El siempre decía "Ride or Die" "Hierva mala nunca muere" Y "Tu Tranquilo Yo Nervioso " . Siempre tenía un sentido de humor y te hacía reír no importaba la situación y aún en el peor momento. Te queremos hermano, ahora estás con nuestra madre y nuestra hermana hasta que nos volvamos a ver, vuela alto, mi hermoso hermano. No es una despedida si no hasta pronto,  Descansa en el paraíso.

We have no words to express the loss of a loved one.  We lose our Brother, a son, father, uncle and brother-in-law. He has gone to be with our lord. He was a person with a big heart, he would take the shirt off his back to give it to anyone who needed it. He would give you his plate of food if you asked him or if he saw that you were hungry or out of simple craving. He would give his life to keep you safe. He was very special but at the same time very humble and protective. In his word He would always say "Ride or Die" "Hierva mala nunca muere" "Tu Tranquilo Yo Nervioso." He always had a sense of humor and made you laugh no matter the situation and even at the worst time. We love you brother, now you are with our mother and our sister until we see each other again, fly high, my handsome brother. It's not a farewell but until we meet again, Rest in paradise.
