In Memory of Martin Figueroa - Funeral Fund
Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for landing on this page. My family and I are collecting funds for my father’s funeral services, which lastly includes his shipment to Mexico where he will be laid to rest in the place where he was born and raised. We believe that his remains will be best settled at the family gravesite in his hometown in the state of Guerrero where the rest of his dear siblings, nieces, nephews, etc. await to see him for the final time.
When I was a kid I believed my dad was invincible. He seemed hard to break down, smart and jovial. Having pride with his occupation as a catering chef for almost 30 years, he was one of the hardest working people I’ve ever known. He was naturally the life of any party — always greeting and willing to share jokes or cool expressions to all walking souls. We will surely miss his infectious smile and his overall embrace of the lighter things in life. At times he had normal health issues and sudden scares but he always trusted he would be alright; and he was right after all these years. So until his passing in the late hours of Thursday June 24th, while struggling in the ICU after a significant heart attack, he still seemed invincible as I remembered him but yet tragically left our world.
“No problems—only solutions,” he would cheerfully repeat to me several times as I grew older and older when things happened. His bits of wisdom & the great appreciation he had for music and sports and having a good time anywhere will remain forever with me and hopefully to the people he met along the way as well.
My family and I thank you again with all our hearts for your thoughts, prayers and support. Appreciate those who are in your life in its good and bad moments, and have patience with the ways of the world. Fully enjoy the moments where fun finds a way into your life, just as my dad would have told anyone.
REST IN PEACE
MARTIN FIGUEROA-BAHENA,
BELOVED FATHER, RELATIVE, FRIEND, AND PERSON TO COUNTLESS PEOPLE
