Memorial for Herbie Grimaldo and family support

July 17, 2023 - A day that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Heriberto Grimaldo Jr, best known as Beto or Herbie, a beloved husband, father, son, and friend, left this world unexpectedly, leaving behind a profound void in the lives of those he touched. At the young age of 27, his departure has left us with heavy hearts and unanswered questions as the cause of his passing remains unknown.

His life:

Heriberto was a remarkable soul, selfless and kind in every sense. His genuine and compassionate nature shone brightly through every aspect of his life. A devoted husband, he cherished his beloved wife, Josie, with a love that knew no bounds. Their bond was a source of inspiration to all who witnessed it.

As a father, Herbie was a pillar of strength and love to his three small children, Meah, Danilo, and Luka. He took immense joy in being present in their lives, nurturing their dreams, and offering unwavering support. He was a very responsible man, always ensuring his children had everything they needed and more. His excitement for their future was infectious, and he had countless plans to ensure they would grow into the best versions of themselves.

Beto's caring nature extended beyond his immediate family. He was always there for his parents and mother-in-law, offering a helping hand whenever they needed it. He had a special gift for reaching out to friends and acquaintances, checking in on them, and offering a listening ear or a helping hand whenever he sensed they needed it. Heriberto's kind heart knew no boundaries; he simply wanted to make the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time.

During the holiday season, Heriberto's generous spirit shone brightly. He was never stingy with gifts, always seeking to bring joy and happiness to those around him. His selflessness was a testament to the love he had for his community, always striving to create meaningful connections with everyone he encountered.

In the wake of this tragedy, we remember Herbie's smile, his laughter, and the warmth he brought to all of our lives. His memory will live on through the stories we share, the lessons he taught us, and the kindness he inspired in each of us.

The impact:

Heriberto's sudden departure leaves behind his pregnant wife, Josie, and their three young children, Meah, from his previous marriage, Danilo, and Luka, who will now have to navigate life without his physical presence. His loss leaves behind financial burdens, funeral expenses, medical bills, and other unforeseen and future costs. Our hearts go out to them during this difficult time, and we offer our support and love as they begin to heal from this profound loss.

How can you Help:

In honor of Heriberto's memory, his family kindly asks for donations. Let us come together to carry on his legacy of kindness and compassion, ensuring that his light continues to shine brightly in the lives of those he leaves behind. Your generous donations will be used for the following:

Funeral Expenses: $10,000 are needed for the funeral to cover funeral expenses.

Medical bills: Your donations will help cover the medical bills for him, for Luka who has severe asthma and frequent asthma attacks and for his unborn child without the burden of excessive debt, while his wife can get back on her feet.

Financial Support:

Support for his wife and their surviving young children and unborn child. The unexpected loss is leaving his wife Josie facing the financial strain of supporting her family by herself while dealing with her grief. Your donations will cover essential immediate needs for their children, house expenses, house bills, student loans since his wife is still enrolled in the university to get her law degree, and his unborn child's immediate needs like a car seat, crib and clothes, and ensuring a stable and safe environment and future for his grieving family.

Your prayers, donations and contributions, no matter how small will make a significant difference in helping our family rebuild their lives and find strength in moving forward.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have reached out with love and sympathy, and we ask that you keep the Grimaldo family in your thoughts and prayers during this challenging time. Together, we can honor the memory of Beto by coming together to help his family find the strength and courage to face the future.
