Remembering Antonio: A Life Taken Too Soon

Hello Everyone my name is Juanita, I’m the mother of Antonio Alder.

Unfortunately, a tragic life changing event has occurred recently.

My only child’s life was taken before his time. There are no words that could express this excruciating experience for a mother losing her only child to this world filled with wickedness.

Antonio’s was only 28 years old when his life was taken on Sunday November 24th before Thanksgiving. A day after he got off from working a 12hr shift, he went to get a haircut but was eventually faced with multiple gunshots after leaving the barber shop between 3:30 and 4pm.

Antonio, was a college graduate, a humble soul, an amazing and respectful young man that I was blessed to have but he was fatally killed. I’m left with no answers, no cause and no one held responsible for this calamity.

My son was the only family and close relative I really had in my life and now to be without his presence in this way I’m truly torn apart. It is now unbearable for me to function and believe this reality!

As a grieving mother, anyone who could understand and relate by having sympathy in your kind hearts to help me raise enough funds to give my one and only son a proper burial so I can spiritually give him back to God.

In this moment I need support in anyway that I can respectfully receive. I’m grateful for your tenderness, prayers and any contribution.

God Bless you all, and please tell your children you love them.
