After going through my own struggles for years, I am saddened to learn about Rafael’s passing. He was a kind man with a good heart and I was blessed to have known him. Rest peacefully and without pain, Rafael.
Prayers of peace and strength to those left dealing with this loss.

My sincere condolences to the entire family.  I haven’t seen you since our infamous school days at St. Mary’s. I thought about you just the years and was terribly saddened by this news. Rest easy.

Ralphie, 
My heart is aching as I read this, my condolences to your family. You were such a big part of my youth and seeing you fight every day is an inspiration to who you were. No matter what was going on you always tried to be positive. You will be missed greatly and I will always proud to say you were my friend. Good by my sweet friend and may you Rest In Peace.

Incredible the pain I feel. My heart is heavy, the void will remain for ever only filled by the memories we shared.
My Primo Hermano you will always be, same blood line runs through both our bodies. 
I always looked up to you growing up, then I got taller and you didn’t care I was still your little cuz. Love you Raf, you were you and that’s all I needed you to be. 
Til we meet again, rest easy fam. 
Love you

You always reflected such a huge heart when young. I imagine that you did the same as an adult. You will always be remembered.

I hate that we lost you but the knowledge that you are no longer suffering eases our minds. I loved you so much. Still do. May you Rest In Paradise Hermano.
