In loving memory of Giovanni Lara

With deep pain, we send an amazing soul home

Giovanni , 16 , was a son - brother - uncle - cousin - nephew and much more to many loved ones . At such a young age Gio touched the lives of all the people he came across & always brightened up the room with his wicked sense of humor! He loved spending time with his family and friends , cooking new foods , working on and talking about cars for hours on end. Being the last of 4 siblings , we lost our baby..

Gio a JR at Morris High school loved coming home to tell us about his daily adventures . From new things he learned to new classes and upcoming school events.

He lived his life unapologetically himself , lived his life to the fullest and always said “ We are just kids having fun.”

He loved gaming with his cousins and friends for hours on hours never getting tired. Bragging about how he was “a beast!!” ❤️

He could spend hours watching new movies and videos about old school and fast cars all day with our father .

He loved cooking and competing with our mother at who had a better way of cooking.

Constantly laughed at memes/funny videos and cracked crazy jokes with our brother.

Endlessly picked at our sister , all like a brother should do .

Words will never be near enough to express the emotions we are all going through at this time of loss. One never realizes how short life can be but we are glad to know Gio lived a happy and fun life.

We will be posting more information on the service’s upcoming on Thursday November 9,2023 . We will have a time for just the family to say our goodbyes and THEN a time for all friends too say goodbyes.
