Always willing to help even if it was 100 degrees outside! ❤️

Till this day the friend group talks about u everyday posted up infront of the house cutting Diego’s hair lots of fun memories 💪🏽

Sending my great condolences to his family I’m very sorry for the tragic loss of your loved one Diego , he will definitely be remembered and missed by everyone . Anyone that knows him knows he had such a beautiful heart n soul inside n out . I pray that God bring peace to his family , in my heart he will never be forgotten .

I remember this day we went outta town and had a field day 😂😮‍💨ig yk ykk lol

We was always at the club man only if I can take one of these nights back.

I didn't know Diego for so long, but the time that I spent with him is unforgettable. I remember spending countless nights just playing Apex and not even caring that we were losing. The times we'd get so hungry in the middle of the night, so he'd sneak out and take us to get food lol. It's sad to just find out that he has been taken away from us so soon. We were never close, but I had always appreciated having him around for the time being, but I also never expected that our time would be so limited. If I could tell him thank you for being so accepting of me, I would tell him with a giant hug. Diego you will be missed!!! We will play Apex again someday! I hope in our afterlives we can meet again! I hope that all these messages will somehow end up getting back to you <333

Diego was the absolute sweetest. I met him my freshman year at El cap, my very first guy friend there. We’d always laugh and joke around in class, recording each other trying to get off guards so we can make them into stickers. We’d always play fight and mess around in the halls, or if it was not us arguing in person, it was most definitely through text. Sadly, all of those beautiful memories had to be then cut shortly after I had transferred to Merced High that same year. But even after I had transferred, he still checked up on me all the way to my senior year. Forever appreciate him for that. I love you, Diego. I wish we could’ve hung out more after that. Now I am left with too much pain and full on regret. I’m sorry. I love you always. I never stopped💔🤍
