Aid for Lisa & Family After Augie's Loss

My neighbor Augustin Chavez, Also known as Augie recently passed away. His widow, Lisa and their family are devistated with the loss as they are still recovering from Lisa's battle with cancer a few years ago.

I am asking for financial donations to help cover the funeral expenses as well as the medical expenses for both Augie and Lisa.

Augustine proudly served his country as a sharpshooter in the United

States Army. He enlisted in November 1977 and was honorably

discharged in August 1983, demonstrating unwavering dedication and

precision throughout his service.

His career was marked by dedication and skill. From 2003 to 2018,

Augustine served as the locksmith for the Merced Union High School

District, retiring in July 2018 after years of ensuring the safety and security

of schools in his community. Prior to that, he was self-employed, providing

maintenance and security services.

Augustine was a man of many passions. His hobbies included working

with computers, CB radios, gardening, building projects, and enjoying

music, especially Elvis Presley. His co-workers fondly nicknamed him

"Elvis" because of his iconic haircut and sideburns, a look that made him

truly unforgettable.

Augustine was preceded in death by his parents, Ramona Suvilla

Guereque Chavez from Chihuahua, Mexico, and Jesus Corrales Chavez

from Oaxaca, Mexico, as well as his brothers, Ines Chavez, Rodolfo

Chavez, Antonio Chavez, and Luis Chavez.

Chavez of Hayward, CA; his daughter, Angelica Sanchez (née Chavez),

and son-in-law, Leonel Sanchez of Vallejo, CA; his brother, Juan Chavez of

Garcia of Merced, CA; his brother-in-law, Douglas Rice of Merced, CA; and
