Rafael Alejandro Aguilar Scholarship Fund

Rafael Alejandro Aguilar, “Raf”, passed away on October 20, 2023. Born on October 26, 2004, to Enrique and Margarita Aguilar, he was the adored brother of Stephanie, Vanessa, Jessica, and Monica. He brought joy to his loving grandparents, Rafael Aguilar Maria Nieves Aguilar, Maria Guzman, and Ramualdo Guzman. He was also a fun-loving uncle to his nephew, Enrique Aguilar.

 

From a young age, Raf demonstrated a passion for sports, particularly baseball which he started playing at the tender age of four. This passion led him from T-ball to Little League and eventually to travel ball. A proud 2022 graduate of Manteca High School, he continued playing baseball throughout his high school years. Raf also enjoyed soccer, where he played for Manteca Area Soccer League.

In honor of his passion for sports, the funds raised will be used to provide baseball scholarships to future players.

Those who knew Raf will remember him for his infectious energy, his contagious smile, and his love for his chocolate lab, Buster Boy. He was a jokester, often lighting up the room with his goofy personality and love for bantering with his sisters. His generous spirit shone through his actions, as he was always ready to help others and looked out for the less fortunate.

 

Raf embraced life with open arms, leaving a lasting impact on everyone he met. His love for life, family, and friends will forever be remembered.
