In Loving Memory of Jimmy Diaz

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our beloved brother, Jimmy Diaz. He left us too soon, but his spirit will forever remain in our hearts.

Jimmy was more than just a brother; he was a confidant, a source of laughter, and a friend who always knew how to lift our spirits. His kindness and unwavering support touched everyone he met. Whether it was his infectious laughter or the way he could light up a room with his presence, Jimmy had a unique ability to make life brighter for those around him.

Jimmy’s devoted life partner, Harvey Johnson, was his rock, and together they built a beautiful life filled with love and laughter. They were an incredible team, supporting each other through thick and thin. Their bond was evident to all who knew them.

He also had a special bond with his sister-in-law, Rita. Jimmy was always by her side, ready to help and support her in any way he could. His love for her was unwavering, and he made sure she knew she could count on him through life’s challenges.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his loving partner Harvey Johnson, along with his father, Baltazar Diaz, his brothers, Baltazar Diaz Jr., Michael Diaz and his cherished nephews Jose A. Roman, and Michael A. Garcia.

Jimmy is survived by his mother Catalina and loving siblings: Judith Muniz (Clemente Muniz), George Diaz, Daisy Sanchez (Javier Sanchez), Maria Bermudez (Dino Bermudez), Pablo Diaz, Lucile Salgado (Miguel Salgado), and Jacqueline Abanto (Sgt Maj Lester B. Abanto USMC Retired). Together, we will carry forward the love and memories he gifted us.

Jimmy also adored all his nephews and nieces. He took great joy in being an active part of their lives, celebrating their achievements, and creating memories that they will carry with them forever. His playful spirit and genuine affection made him a beloved uncle, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

Rest in peace, dear brother. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
