Funeral Arrangement Felipe Bautista

Donation protected
It's with the deepest of sorrow that I reach out for help during these difficult times for our family. Nobody is ever prepared to hear that their nephew, brother, sister, father, uncle, cousin or husband has been a victim to Chicago gun violence. What was supposed to be a happy Labor Day weekend quickly turned into tragedy as our beloved Felipe was gunned down in his own home and passing away in his fathers arms. What makes things even worse for the family is that my uncle had been at home for 2 months without being able to work as he recovered from a recent heart attack and relied on help from Felipe to pay bills and bring food to the house. Now he faces the difficult challenge of burying his own son who was taken way too soon, at the young age of just 26. Felipe was the middle brother to younger sister Aracely and older brother Gerardo Bautista, whom he looked up to since a very young age. Learning to work on cars became his passion.. always offering to help anybody who needed help with their cars in return for at times nothing but simply gain experience doing what he loved. He had recently settled into a job at Life Fitness in which he enjoyed traveling within the states for weeks at a time and had returned home for Labor Day only to be brutally shot and pass away in his fathers arms. Our family migrated here from Mexico in search of a better life not this. We ask from the bottom of our hearts if you can please donate and share so we can let our loved one Rest In Peace. If you have any questions in regards the funeral arrangements please feel free to reach out to myself directly or my cousin Gerardo (Jerry) I will list numbers below.. thank you again for your kind hearts.. anything donated will go directly to my aunt and uncle to help us get closer to our goal but we are racing against time as these things don't tend to wait. Sincerely Dio and Jerry Bautista Dio - [phone redacted] Gerardo (Jerry) [phone redacted]
