Honor Juan Rodriguez with a Beautiful Farewell

Donation protected
On August 25th we lost a wonderful man, Juan Rodriguez, a father, a brother, a son, an amazing uncle. We are asking for everyone to please help put our uncle Juan to rest, to make his funeral as beautiful and as peaceful as we can for him and his family. Juan was a good man, his life didn’t deserve to be cut short, especially when he was the only parent supporting his family. So anything that is able to be given makes a huge difference and would be gladly appreciated. Most people are lucky enough to be given years to prepare, to accept, and to fight, but his cancer barely gave him a chance to breathe. He battled stage 4 gastric cancer for a little bit over a year and unfortunately it was too aggressive, even though his spirit was very strong, his body wasn’t. He raised his family, with his wife, the best they could and gave them everything. So Juan leaves his daughter, Abi Jocelyn of 12 years old to learn how to grow up to be an independent beautiful woman, without her father there to support her when she fails and when she succeeds. He also leaves his son, Juan Angel of 17 years to take over all the responsibilities a good man has to do, which is to support and take good care of his little sister and mom. Both of them are going to need to finish their education on their own with the thought that their father won’t be there to cheer for them when they do. His family now has to learn how to live their lives without their father.

Este 25 de Agosto perdimos a un hombre maravilloso, Juan Rodríguez, un padre, hermano, hijo, y un tío asombroso. Estamos pidiendo a todos que por favor ayuden en que nuestro tío Juan puede descansar en paz, para que su funeral sea lo más hermoso posible para él y su familia. Juan era un buen hombre, su vida no merecía ser cortado así, especialmente cuando era el único padre que sustentaba a su familia. Entonces, cualquier donación que se pueda dar sera una diferencia muy grande y muy apreciada. La mayoría de la gente tienen la suerte de tener años para prepararse, aceptar y luchar, pero su cáncer apenas le dio la oportunidad de respirar. Lucho contra el cáncer gástrico en la etapa 4 durante un poco más de un año y desafortunadamente fue demasiado agresivo, aunque su espíritu era muy fuerte, su cuerpo no era igual. Él crió a su familia con su esposa, lo mejor que podían y les dio todo lo que su familia necesitaban. Mi tío Juan deja a su hija, Abi Joceline, de 12 años, para aprender a crecer y convertirse en una hermosa mujer independiente, sin su padre ahí para apoyarla en sus fallas y en sus éxitos. También deja a su hijo Juan Ángel de 17 años para que se haga cargo de todas las responsabilidades que tiene que hacer un gran hombre, y eso es apoyar y cuidar bien a su hermanita y a su mamá. Los dos tendrán que terminar su educación solos con la idea de que su padre no estará ahí para animarlos cuando lo hagan. Su familia ahora tiene que aprender a vivir sus vidas sin su papá.
