Support Rafael Nieves' Memorial and Family

Hello, My name is Anthony and I lost my brother Rafael Nieves also known as "Ralph, Ralphie or Rico" to a massive stroke and brain bleed. He battled for 11 days, ultimately losing his fight on August 15th, 2024 at 5:58pm. He was my only remaining sibling and both our parents have passed. Those who knew him always saw his light. He was always looking for ways to help someone, whether it was valuable advice or just general help. He would do his best to figure out the solution to your problem. His passion for cooking, barbecuing, and shelling out empanadas like nobody's business was unmatched. To know him was to love him.

I am not one to ask anyone for anything, but I would love to fulfill his children's desire to honor him with a Celebration of Life. We need the help to cover his cremation, urns, and event costs. Any proceeds exceeding the costs will be given to his 10-year-old son, Ethan, and 12-year-old daughter, Bryanna. The family thanks you for your consideration and donations.
