The late Ray Jr Bernal, a beloved young man from Wellton, Arizona, was tragically murdered on June 21, 2024. He was only 22 years old. The news of his death has left his family and the community in deep sorrow.
Ray Jr Bernal is survived by his mother Jennifer Bernal, father Arsenio Bernal, brothers Isacc and Alex Bernal, and sister Alyssa Bernal, along with many cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. His aunt, Kristina Quiroz, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his funeral and memorial expenses.
Kristina Quiroz wrote on the GoFundMe page, "Hi, my name is Kristina, and I am raising funds to help my sister, brother-in-law, and family lay my nephew Jr to rest. On 6/21, my nephew was murdered by someone, and we are now in need of help for funeral and memorial expenses. Ray Jr Bernal was 22 years young; he was a loving, kind, caring kid who always tried his best to help any and everyone out. He will be missed dearly by everyone. I’m truly asking for anything from the bottom of our hearts; please, even a dollar, anything at this point will help tremendously. All money will go toward his services. Thank you to all, have a blessed day."
The fundraising goal is set at $10,000, and as of now, the campaign is seeking its first supporter. Desi Nunez, a relative of Ray Jr, shared on Facebook, "Anything helps to lay my cousin to rest."
The family is in urgent need of support to cover the costs of Ray Jr Bernal’s burial and memorial, and the community is rallying around them during this difficult time.
