Galveston, TX— Dionicio Perpuac, a 21-year-old from Guatemala, tragically passed away on November 14 during a fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico near Galveston. His sudden passing has left his family in Guatemala grieving deeply as they await his body to bid him a final farewell and provide a Christian burial.
Dionicio came to the United States in search of a brighter future for himself and his family.
