Un hijo incomparable, inteligente, recerbado pero dedicado a nosotros, un hombre trabajador y acomedido en nuestro hogar y siempre dispuesto a ayudarme en todo. Con planes de un futuro. Cada dia disfrutando de nuestra compa ̄nia al sentarnos en la mesa o a salir juntos contandonos lo mucho o poco que se imaginaba o deseaba que mas puedo decir fue mi primer amor y uno de los seres que e querido mas.   -- Betty

Mi Higo, mi conpa ̄nero inseparable. Amorozo con nosotros.  -- Arturo

As many younger siblings do, I admired my brother. I still do. Growing up he wanted to be many things, one of those things was to be a protector. Even if it wasn't the wisest choice or I didn't deserve it, my brother defended me. He defended many loved ones, but mostly just me his little brother. I chose his obituary photo. I chose it to show the smile he gave right before laughter. A laugh my dad looked forward to every day and a smile so hard to capture, that my mother learned to take a photo when he didn't know. The smile I saw right before he teased me. He smiled a lot. He was a great son and an even greater brother.   -- Cole
