Jacobo Tepepa, originally from Veracruz, Mexico, passed away last Sunday at the age of 69. Known for his kindness and willingness to help others, Jacobo was found deceased in his home. With no family in the U.S. and only a few close friends, efforts are being made to help return his remains to Mexico for a proper burial alongside his family.
A GoFundMe page organized by Gwendolyn Tlaxca is raising funds to cover the costs of his final journey home. Donations have started coming in, with Elvis Tlaxca contributing $50 and an anonymous donor giving $25. The fundraiser aims to support Jacobo’s return to his native land, where his only surviving family member, his 82-year-old sister Amelia, awaits. Amelia is unable to travel due to mobility issues, making the support for this cause all the more urgent.
On Facebook, Kimberly Acevedo-Tlaxca shared her thoughts, saying, "Don Jacobo passed away last Sunday at the age of 69 years old. He is originally from Veracruz, Mexico. He did not have family in the U.S. Please help him get home for a proper burial with his family. Any donations could really help and will be appreciated. Prayers for don Jacobo. RIP."
As the community rallies to assist in this cause, we extend our thoughts and prayers to Jacobo’s family and those who knew him. May he rest in peace, and may his journey home be swift.
