Life story

In one word: Kind. If you had the blessing of knowing Fernando you know the kind-hearted person he was. Caring, hard working and loving. A good son, brother, nephew, grandson and friend. Definitely a patriot! He loved his country. He had few interests he was passionate about. Outdoors, dirt bikes and off roading was his happy place since he was a kid.

He enriched our lives in so many ways and to say the void of his early departure has left us heartbroken, it’s an understatement.

I created this link to share his life, his story and to keep his memory alive.

Feel free to share your favorite photo memory on this forum. (Please know all photos have to be approved by the account administrator first.)

Thank you for stopping by and for being a special part of my nephew’s life.
