Carmelo "Melo" Vargas

It is with a heavy heart that we have to make this post. On Saturday, April 9th, we suffered a massive loss in a tragic accident. We lost a son, a father, a brother, an uncle, a piece of our family and a friend to so many. Carmelo Vargas, or as we all knew him, "Melo," left us too young, at only 31 years old. Melo left behind his 8-year-old daughter, his "Mini-Me," Melody, and his 4-year-old son, his soccer star Lucas. We love him so much and are still having difficulty accepting this unfortunate fate. If you were ever around Melo, you knew that he was the life of the party. He always made grand entrances with his cool dance moves and funny faces. He was always laughing, singing and dancing. He made us all laugh so much. His smile was uplifting, and his laugh was contagious. Our world will never be the same without him. Melo's mom, dad, siblings, children, nephews and all his loved ones need your prayers and help in these difficult times. We all appreciate your support.

Es con gran pesar que tenemos que hacer esta publicación. El sábado 9 de Abril sufrimos una pérdida masiva en un trágico accidente. Perdimos un hijo, un padre, un hermano, un tío, una parte de nuestra familia y un amigo para muchos. Carmelo Vargas, o como todos lo conocíamos, "Melo", nos dejó demasiado joven, con solo 31 años de edad. Melo dejó atrás a su hija, "su gemela," Melody de 8 años, y a su "estrella de fútbol" de 4 años, su hijo Lucas. Lo amamos mucho y todavía tenemos dificultades para aceptar este desafortunado destino. Si alguna vez estuvieron cerca de Melo, sabían que él era el alma de la fiesta. Siempre hizo grandes entradas con sus bailes y caras chistosas. Siempre estaba riendose, cantando y bailando. Nos hizo reír mucho a todos. Su sonrisa era brillante y su risa era contagiosa. Nuestro mundo nunca será el mismo sin él. Su mama, papa, hermanos, hijos, sobrinos y todos los seres queridos de Melo necesitan sus oraciones y ayuda en estos momentos difíciles. Todos apreciamos su apoyo.
