The loss of our brother, Cesar Robles.
On behalf of the Robles family, we are at a loss for words losing our brother Cesar.
No family member is ready to write a GoFundMe for any of their loved ones; however we are doing so for our beloved brother, uncle, father of three, and good friend. Cesar was a great person to socialize with, he always made moments being in his company very memorable to say the least. This is just one of many characteristics that we will never forget & one of many personalities and traits that he had in his soul. He always made us laugh even in the most inappropriate or serious moments. Who would have known that the "class clown" as some may have labeled him, was also the one who was fighting his inner demons and challenges, LIFE.
As the link mentioned below pretty much spills out exactly the where, when, and how.....we (his family and loved ones) are still asking the WHY!?!? As serious or sad as it is to talk about, or even mention it, the facts are suicide is no laughing matter and never should anyones passing due to mental illness or chemical imbalances be a reason to dislike or distance yourself from them. Cesar was known for his love of music, his tall stature in size, at times by the jokes or comments he made and at times the life of the party because we all know he definitely knew how to have fun. But again behind all those smiles and laughs, jokes, fun times was a soul and spirit that was suffering and had a lot of hurt and guilt. So much that even he did not know how or where to ask for help, eventhough he may have had an abundance of family or love he felt alone and this is the actions that he felt was best. We will always love you and miss you hermano, we know you are in a better place and we pray that God and the Angels in Heavan are telling you everything will be just fine. Until we meet again.
We’ve received tons of messages (FB, phone, text) from friends and want to let you know that your support, empathy, and love. Words simply fail to express how incredibly grateful we are by you taking the time to contact us. In addition to all your amazing support through this GoFundMe page, people want to know how they can help Cesar (and the Robles family) directly. Our #1 goal is to get the costs to lay our brother to rest....fully funded. If we are fortunate enough to fully cover the funeral services, donations in excess will go to his children's education expenses and if possibly to a mental health/suicide charity of his kids choosing.
We ask for all to please continue reaching out to your friends, networks, and communities to get the word out. PLEASE SHARE THIS PAGE AND FUNDRAISER. Any showing of support -- whether financial or otherwise -- means the world to us.
We, the Robles family, are eternally grateful for your support!
