Our little rockstar, Raphael, age 17 of Bremerton, passed away unexpectedly on January 28, 2026 leaving a void that can never be filled. He, was born on September 21, 2008, in Silverdale to parents Victor and Ruby.
Raphael, our strongest flame, a generational multi-talented soul who put so much love and effort into his passions. Raphael's greatest gift was spreading joy and laughter to friends and loved ones. He will be remembered for his quick wit and creativity. He was always building things. It all started with cardboard boxes and duct tape then onto RC cars, guitars and BMX bikes. He learned to play the piano and guitar by ear. It was a gift to watch our musical phenomenon grow and evolve.
He was a student at Olympic High School. Raphael was a founding member of the local rock bands Eschton and The Bandannas alongside his best friends. He was deeply loved by his friends. He had a special way of making others feel seen. He will be remembered for his infectious laughter and kindness.
Raphael is survived by his parents, Victor and Ruby; siblings, RJ (Audrey), CJ, Adrianne, Jordan, and Albert; and grandparents, Cesar and Robert in addition to many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by grandmothers, Carmelita and Rosa.
The family welcomes all friends and loved ones to share memories and honor Raphael.
Thank you for keeping our family in your hearts during this time.
