Today, Kevin Gabriel Merlos passed away, leaving his family and community in mourning. The tragic news has deeply affected his loved ones, particularly his mother and son, who are in El Salvador awaiting his return.
Yeny Jimenez, Kevin’s cousin, is organizing a fundraiser to repatriate his body to El Salvador. She shared on Facebook, "Good afternoon, today unfortunately Kevin Gabriel Merlos passed away, and we are asking for help to repatriate the body to El Salvador where his mom and son are waiting for him. Thank you very much and God bless you."
The GoFundMe campaign, created today by Yeny, aims to raise $10,000 to cover the costs associated with returning Kevin’s body to his homeland. The fundraiser highlights the financial strain his family faces in this difficult time and seeks community support to ensure Kevin can be laid to rest near his loved ones.
In her plea, Yeny expressed gratitude for any assistance, saying, "Hola, mi nombre es Yeny Jimenez Saravia, Prima de Kevin Gabriel Merlos. El día de hoy desafortunadamente falleció y estamos pidiendo una colaboración para repatriar el cuerpo para El Salvador donde lo espera su mamá y hijo. Muchas gracias y que Dios me los bendiga." (Hello, my name is Yeny Jimenez Saravia, cousin of Kevin Gabriel Merlos.

The community’s response and support for Kevin’s family during this time are crucial. The fundraiser not only aims to alleviate the financial burden but also to honor Kevin’s memory by fulfilling his family’s wish to bring him back home.
