Velasco Family

Donation protected
It is with great sadness that we report the recent passing of U.S. Embassy Mexico employee Rodolfo Velasco.  Mr. Velasco passed away on 26 December due to complications from COVID-19.

Mission Mexico RSO has developed this GoFundMe page as a way to assist the Velasco family during this difficult time.

Mr. Velasco served proudly on the Ambassador's Protective Detail for over 31 years. During his tenure, Mr. Velasco protected eight U.S. Ambassadors, spent countless nights on the road away from family, and made a lasting impression on those he worked with across the Mission along the way. He will be missed.

On behalf of Mission Mexico, we extend our deepest condolences to his family.  Mr. Velasco is survived by his mother, wife, children - including his son Julio who followed in his father's footsteps with a career at the Embassy - and his grandchild.
