Tio Fatty was extremely proud of his nephew’s and niece’s accomplishments. He never failed to miss a birthday party, sports event, graduation, baby shower, wedding, and any other achievements that happened in their lives.
Raul graduated from Gadsden High School and was an honorable, respectable man who served our country. He was a huge Dallas Cowboys Fan. Raul was a beacon of unwavering friendship and kindness. Though Fatty’s time with us was brief, the depth of his love and happiness will forever remain in our hearts. While we mourn his passing, we take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering.
Your family is going to miss you but we will one day get to hug and see you again. Rest in paradise. Special thanks to Dr. Augustine Eleje, Roger, staff, and Nurse Martha Gonzalez (Providence Hospital ICU) for helping Raul and his family through such a difficult time with their compassion and kindness.
