Augusto Manrique, East Elmhurst, NY Community Mourns the Loss of a Beloved Father

Augusto Manrique, East Elmhurst, NY—The community is in deep sorrow following the sudden loss of Augusto Manrique, who passed away earlier this week. His family and friends are struggling to cope with this unexpected and profound grief. Augusto, fondly known as "Gordito" by those close to him, was a cherished father and a beloved member of the community.

In a heartfelt post on social media, Patricia Manrique Valdivia expressed the family’s need for support during this difficult time. She shared, "We ask you from the bottom of our hearts to support us with a part of the funeral expenses; as we currently do not have this money so that our Augusto can rest in peace." The family has organized a fundraiser to help cover the costs of a Christian burial, as Augusto did not have life insurance or a stable job to secure such expenses.

The fundraiser, organized by Patricia Manrique, has set a goal of $20,000 to ensure Augusto’s burial as he wished. As of today, the community has generously contributed $455 through eight donations. Joann Salas, one of the donors, recently donated $30, while Marco Alva and Andre Lewis each contributed $100, reflecting the community’s collective effort to support the family during this tragic time.

Friends and family have shared their condolences and memories of Augusto on social media. Kary Thomas wrote, "His children and family are devastated by the sudden loss of our beloved Augusto (Gordito)." Another touching message came from Rafael Manrique, who shared, "Muchas gracias de todo corazón a quien pueda aportar con un granito de arena para poder darle cristiana sepultura a mi padre. Y nunca olvidemos la gran persona y el gran padre que es y siempre será." Jean Pierre Miñan Valdivia added, "Gracias tía por publicar esto. Toda ayuda se lo vamos agradecer eternamente."

The love and support pouring in from the community are a testament to the impact Augusto had on those around him. The family appreciates any assistance as they navigate through these challenging times.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Manrique family as they grieve the loss of Augusto. May his soul rest in peace, and may the family find strength and solace during this difficult period.
