It’s still so hard to believe ur not here almost 4 years without u which i find crazy. Idk if you’d still be working at the same job but i’d still love to keep in touch with you. I’m 16 i’ve matured lol and gotten a lil better at soccer. I’ve been wanting to quit several times but when i go home i think abt u and how u impacted my soccer journey and how you were there to train us separately. Maybe if i did quit you wouldn’t be happy i’m not sure but i don’t quit cuz of the reason that you helped me love the sport more than a lot of things. I love you Orlando! May You Rest In Peace, i will see you very soon 💙  

Man idk where to start I miss you so much man I think of you so much. The day you left I wanted to hear your voice one more time and I wanted to see you one more time. The days I was sad you were always there I were to always get a big hug from you you were so close to my family you meant so much to me and my grandma. The day she heard you left us she broke down crying and I was crying with her because we couldn’t accept it and we couldn’t believe you were gone I appreciate you for all the memories you gave me I appreciate the time you made for me and other students I appreciate you showing up almost everyday to after school program . I thank you for everything u told me I can do I thank you for giving me motivation. When I want to give up I think if you and you give me motivation to keep going. I LOVE YOU ORLANDO. I MISS YOU 
RIP MR.ORLANDO

wow. It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face or heard your voice.  I’ve missed you so much and it was super hard to accept that you were gone. I’d show up to school and wonder where your were or when you were getting there. I’d hope I see you there. I didn’t want to accept it because then it’d be real. I wanted to thank for everything you did for me.  you would sit there and listen to me talk about everything that I was unhappy about. You always made time for our little talks.  I am thankful that I had the chance to know you in this life. You truly made school a safe place for me. When I was having a bad day, I couldn’t wait to go complain to you about stupid boys or why I was angry or sad . I wish I was still able to have these moments with you, but I am grateful for the memories. I will never forget all of the advice you gave me and I will forever be grateful for everything you helped me through. 
I miss and love you so much. <3 



It’s been an odd time without you,I’ve grown out of soccer and I don’t see the fun of it but that passion and thrive to find fun in something still works in other fields of work not just sports.Ithank you for that Orlando. thank you for being their during a tough time in my life because I couldn’t  comprehend pain or thinking in the negative, while problems happened in my family I had no father figure anymore because I had to be raised by a single parent now but I always saw you as a role model either that being for sports or school.since the year I left middle i kept loving day by day and then next year rolled by I got the news of what happened to you and I couldn’t believe but now 2 years later I’m thanking you for being a role model I didn’t know I needed.thank you for inspiring me to keep pushing through the end of the school year.i know you’re somewhere out there inspiring others.
Rest In Peace 

I know it might be late for this but I still wanna let you know how much I wanted to thank you but even though i never met you or knew you well, I still wanna be grateful for the things you did for my friends, you made them happy, you helped them through a lot. Even though we never knew each other, you’re still in my heart, thank you for everything you did for my friends. 
Rest in Peace man ❤️

Hi Mr. Orlando I lit a candle for your birthday and my family and I prayed.I’m starting to play soccer.I tried out when I was in school but I missed out one day and I got kicked out.But I really want to start playing soccer because I know you loved soccer.I miss you Mr.Orlando.

R.I.P.     Mr.Orlando

Hey, Mr. Orlando happy birthday I know I'm a day late but I had practice yesterday and I couldn't write anything. Just want to let you know that I still think about you every day and especially when I play soccer.  Happy Birthday 



R.I.P         :Lucas Perez

It’s almost been a year and I still can’t believe this.I’m sorry that I didn’t come to visit you during your job.To be honest I hated middle school and never wanted to go back.That was a the main reason I didn’t visit again.That’s on top of the fact that I found high school a lot more stressful then I thought.I’m so glad that I was able to share  a moment that I could never forget.You asked me if I wanted to play a song during practice and I played ,chum by Earl sweatshirt,not knowing that you’ve listened to it .I’m not sure if you related to the song as much as I did.We resisted the lyrics bar for bar.I was practicing as a soccer player and you were coaching with a monster  in your hand.it brings a smile to my face knowing that I shared that moment with you.Even if it was so minimal.you made the sport fun for me and I could never repay you for that.Thank you Orlando.

I still cant believe he is gone I miss him so much and almost crying every single day this dude was literally like a brother to me I knew him for 5 + years and I still cant believe he is gone I miss him so much and I love him so much fly high my love you will forever be missed   :( 

Mr.Orlando, you were a great P.L. Every time I would see you, you would smile, and make me laugh.  You will forever live on in our hearts. Rest in peace.... 

Dearest Prado Familia,
I am so, sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy, Orlando. My sympathies go out to you all.

Where can I start. He was a great teacher he was there to help other.  Mr. Orlando did a huge impact in my life. I miss his class he was a great soccer coach. My sis and me would fight but he was there to calm us down. We would play many games in his class. He would take me and my friends to get water. I really miss u it was nice to see u in the last three months I had with u of my 8th grade experience. 

R.I.P he was preson that  i can talk to about girls and stiff  and about my life but now he is now i just feel now but R.I.P MR.O

Thank you, Mr. Orlando, for making us happy

My favorite memory with Mr. Orlando was when taut me how to do my final smash on super smash bros ultimate on his Nintendo switch.  and he would make me laugh all day.   We love you Mr. Orlando with all our hearts.

Mr. Orlando was my soccer coach and would make fun of us to mess around he would call us nerds and other things he was my favorite PL

Mr. Orlando, I´m glad I got the chance to meet you the day when I saw you. You were the coolest program leader I ever had. I wish I could have said goodbye but just remember you will always be with me no matter what. I want you to fly high and shine bright like a star. I love you as a PL. We will never forget you.

I LOVE YOU MR. ORLANDO AS A PL
FLY HIGH
LIKE A STAR

Mr orlando was the best PL and am greatful for him having me on his soccer  team also he was funny and he just made my day and he would call us nerds and we just play around and we play around also   cared about us ha wouldn´t  treat us has his students he would treat us as his friends and he would give me some advice.

I did not really know him that much but when i did talk to him he would make me laugh. I remember it was halloween he was wearing white eye contacts and i ask him those must be expensive then he told me he got them 50% of so then i ask if i can have them (i did not really want it) then he said yea if your gonna buy them.

My favourite memory with Mr. Orlando was when we were playing games in the class and he was making jokes about what I was doing. When I was sad he would always cheer me up with a joke and I would smile or laugh , when I saw him look at me and smile I smiled right back. We would always make him smile or laugh when we thought he was sad.

Where do I start, my favorite memory was when it was Halloween and he was wearing some really cool contacts and I asked him if he was wearing contacts. I said hi to him every single day and he was such a happy person. I miss him so very much and I know he's in a better place now but he will always be missed and in my heart. 
Rest In Paradise Mr. Orlando

Mr. Orlando was the best, he was so nice and cared for all of the students. He was always there for the students emotionally and physically. Students gave him attitude but he did not get mad, he understands us and always will.  He was very funny and a friend when you needed one.
                                       

I REMEMBER WHEN I USED TO CALL HIM SURFER DUDE (because of his long hair)AND HIM AND I USED TO LAUGH ABOUT IT EVERY TIME I SAW HIM .

I miss you MR.ORLANDO/SURFER DUDE

Mr. Orlando you were such a good P.L. we will miss u so much we had so much fun with u. I will forever miss u but u will always be with me. My favorite memory with Mr. Orlando was when I called him Mr.Eddie and he was mad for a week but he would always laugh when I called him his name. Mr. Orlando u will never be missed we loved u so much it was to early for u to go R.I.P Mr. Orlando forever in our memory Rest easy angle.

He was a nice person, always makes me laugh, and for some funny reason he let us carry his car keys but we gave them back.  Everyone in Think Together misses him, but in our hearts, he will always be with us forever 

Me and Mr. Orlando were good friends.  He was a good supervisor.  He was friendly, kind, considerate, and chill.  If a kid would cuss, he would just shrug it off, like he was our age. I really felt connected to him. One time. I and my friends one time created a rat cult. and we asked him to join. He asked us what we would do in the cult, and I said that we save rats and give them good homes. He said "Ugh, no way, I'm completely against that. " Then my friend Sariah told him that we kidnap rats from nice homes and we torture them and mutate them. He said, "Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" He was a good friend, and someone to look up to.

Orlando Prado. A great friend, brother, and supervisor. He has always been a good friend of mine, that's how I always thought of him. Not some bossy teacher, but a really cool friend.  I wasn't in his class, but I still connected with him. I can't come to the wake, I don't think. But, I still wanted to get my voice out there. 

When I used to get mad he always new the correct  words to used to make me feel better and forget what I was mad about. I really appreciate him for letting me be part of his soccer team. I will truly miss him and he will be part of my life today tomorrow and for ever cus he didn’t see his students like just some students he treated us like if we were his kids and always was giving us advice on many things . So all I say it’s that he will truly be miss. Rest In Peace 

My favorite memory was when Mr.Orlando took me and my friends to go get water from the water fountain and he would tell us stories from when he was in high school and when he would tell us all the raves and cool events he’s been to
