Angel was a happy and playful 12 year old. He loved to play soccer and was a #1 Fan of Lionel Messi. He was very loving and would do anything to help others. At his young age, he was very religious and would always put his faith in God and the Virgin Mary. He loved to be surrounded by his family who loved him dearly.
Angel was diagnosed with T. Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma at age 9. He fought cancer with so much bravery and never gave up. He would never complain about any medical procedure, even though he hurt, he would always tell his mom he was ok and not to worry. He dreamed of getting well and had the wish to help other children in the hospital by providing Christmas gifts every December. He earned his wings like a soldier on Memorial Day. He is and will always be our Hero. He will be missed and loved forever.
