**In loving memory of Jesus Humberto Padilla Romero Jr** It is with a heavy heart that we remember Jesús Humberto Padilla Romero Jr, 16, who was taken away from us too early on the night of September 20, 2024. Jr went to the city of Chicago with two of his friends to cut his hair, but unfortunately he never returned home that night. Jr was shot in the lower back and succumbed to his injury once he arrived to the hospital.

 Jr was born on February 23, 2008. Throughout his life, he touched the hearts of his family and close friends with his kindness, generosity and unwavering spirit. 

 From an early age of seven, Jr showed a remarkable interest in practicing as a police officer. Upon reaching adolescence, Jr's dream was to follow in his dad's footsteps and take control of his construction company. He had the longing to be the provider of his family, to see them proud of him. One of his favorite activities was going out with his family, playing video games, annoying his sisters, eating his mother's food all day, and spending time with his father. He loved his aunt Dania's baleadas, as well as his mother's rice and beans with cheese. His favorite dishes in general were Alfredo chicken pasta and homemade steak chilaquiles.

 Jr was not just a brother, but a son, uncle, friend, mentor and confidant. He always had a way to make his family and close friends feel welcome. His laughter was contagious, and his perspective on life was a guiding light for many. 

 As we say goodbye, we cling to the precious memories and lessons he taught us. Jr will always be remembered for his generous heart, jokes, and the love he shared with all of us. His memory will live in our hearts and in the stories that we will continue to share.
