In Loving Memory of Antonio Burgos

On September 12, 2023, my Dad, Antonio Burgos - the epitome of giving your family a better life - sadly passed away and officially crossed that marigold bridge at 9:21pm.

Losing our Dad has been the most sobering and heartbreaking event.

As he lay there towards the end of his home hospice care, my family began the process of saying our good byes, and to let him know that it will all be ok - WE will all be ok - and that we will love him forever.

My Dad, Antonio, was to many: quite the character. He was serious, sometimes goofy, a lot of times cranky, but was always dedicated to my Mom and his three children. For those who truly knew him, he was a gentle and romantic philosopher who loved his family.

He loved 70’s love ballads, working hard to achieve that elusive American Dream and the LA Dodgers - except for whenever they lost a game.

He came here in search of that “better life” and he did it. He gave that better life to his family, no matter what.

This GoFundMe has been created to those who would like to contribute to his memorial. It would ease the burden of funeral & medical costs and allow those who loved him to focus on celebrating his life.
