Sometime around the third grade, you lived in Burlington for a little while, just a few blocks from my house. You, your brother, and I would sometimes hang out together. We weren’t best, best friends, but I remember those times fondly. Just today I was thinking back to it, and I thought to look you up, only to find that you passed. It looks like you’ve lived a rich life surrounded by people who love and adore you. We should all be so lucky to depart having such an abundance of love. Rest in peace, Chico.
I’ll always cherish your caring big heart with the tough exterior, you’ve touched all of our hearts with it. Your son is carrying on that part of you!
May you be at peace
Love always,
Lisa Cress
I love ya cheeks….youll always be in my heart. Think about you and our years of memories everyday. I know your smiling down on me, sky and everyone else you cared about wanting to yell “go drink a beer!” Watch over your brother and son and the rest of your family and tell nichole hi for me. See you again someday bud.
I was pleased to have lived next door to Chico in Mount Vernon when he was growing up with his
brothers and family. The boy’s were so much fun to watch and visit with. You will be missed so
much by all. Thanks for being a friend .
My dearest Chico, you forever left memories I’ll treasure my lifetime. You boys are loved as my own and I am proud to call you family. From the little boys who would hang out day and night or till forced home and show back up at O’ dark stupid to picking you and Matty up at Anacortes PD to me punishing you for tipping that porta potty because you were bored, coming over just to play with Alena and Meliah, protecting my kids and myself, all the way to the loving father you became. Through your troubles and smiles, laughter and loud mouth. I was so proud of you, I love you, I’ll miss you till we meet up again. R.I.P sweet Chico

As kids we were always together. Most of the time we (Chico, Skyler, Damon, Tristan and I) would spend our time wrestling and running around with the horses. As we became adults we still kept in touch but not as often but still were close family. I love you and will miss you so much. You will forever be in our hearts. Say hi to the rest of the family that we miss that you are now with once again.
Love you Chico
Chico was an amazing cousin for me. I will greatly miss you. You will be in our hearts forever. You were taken so quickly from us and its hard to believe you gone. But i know you will be safe now. Until we meet again R.I.P Chico I love you.
As kids we spent a lot of time together. We were always having all kinds of fun. As adualts we spent less time but still felt close. I will always love you. I miss you. You will always be with me in thoughts. Love you Chico

RIP Chico, I will miss you and all the good times we shared. Love you buddy xoxo
I miss you so much, Ill always love you, forever and ever, rest in peace by beautiful friend, and so much more! ill never forget all the time spent with you!
I know that we were not as close a family as we should have been. As we grow up we move away and start our own families and it sometimes is hard to get together often. I know that for children it can sometimes be difficult. Chico, you once called me out on that. You asked me “Where were you all those years. I didn’t have an answer for you at that time. When we did get together, we were family and that is all that mattered. I will always remember you and think fondly of those times we were together.
Rest in peace my nephew, chico
Our lives have all been better,
because you have been there;
So now we leave your memory
in God’s all-loving care.
Cheeks, your where a good friend to have always making someone laugh or passing them off lol I’m sad I can’t be there to pay my respects bit I know you will be there looking over and seeing how many of us will miss you forever. RIP bro

Chico I just heard of your passing and I am so sad. I know we have not seen each other since we were kids but I always liked u and your brother you guys were so funny. I am so sorry and my condolences to your family.
Chico….so many good yet goofy times. I’m in disbelief that you’re no longer here to torment us with your jokes….the gatherings will never be the same know that you’ve gone but the memories I have will last for a lifetime. You’ve left us too soon but no one will ever forget you♥ rest in paradise and watch over us all. Love ya buddy!!
Words can’t describe how much you mean to my family and I we greatly miss you Chico.. My heart hurts.. You have given all of us wonderful memories that I will never forget..I’m thankful to have had you be a part of my life for the past 9 years its been a blessing.. Rest in peace.
My dear cousin, you were always like a brother to me, very over protective and picking on me always 🙂 I will always remember all our funny and precious moments we’ve shared from when we were babies and all the years until now. Our memories last in my heart. You have your loving dad with you now and I know you will be watching over us all. Until I see you again, I love you chico always and forever. Your laugh, our laughs, and smile stays with me. Miss you. Love always, Sophia, Maximus and Gary
As a friend of your moms for 25+ years, I was shocked to here that you are gone…I watched you grow into a wonderful man, not unlike your father had been. You loved to fish and was always the life of the party, just as your father before you…way to young to end this journey called life but that is the choice you made. Can’t be changed now…I didn’t know you as well as I know your parents, but I am sure you are in heaven with your father…watching over your son and your loved ones..still the life of the party. Rest in peace, with much love, Tanya
Chico, I have always loved you. I’ve known you since you were a little boy and watched you and your brothers grow up. I am truly heart broken that you have left this earth. You may be physically gone but you are here in spirit with all your loved ones and everyone you have touched in this life. You may have not been my biological cousin, but you have always been family to me. I’ve always wished the best for you and will carry you in my heart. Gone to soon….may you now rest in peace. I will see you again someday on the other side. I cherish the time I’ve had with you and grateful you were a part of my life. You were a great man. With love….always in my heart
I can’t say I knew you personally but I can say your uncle spoke of you very highly and loved you very much, I have been reading post’s on fb the last few days and you have so many people that loved you very much. From pictures that I have seen you were a very full spirited young man and as a teen very full of life there as well. I guess what I’m trying to say is your life was cut way to short and you have so many people you left behind that love and miss you dearly, but no mind you will always be loved and never be forgotten you have had a beautiful impact on so many lives while you were here on gods green earth, and know you are in heaven in the beautiful kindom surrounded by so many angels and the lord himself. May you rest in peace and watch over your family. Much love and Peace to a wonderful nephew I never got to meet. Love,
Crystal Yzaguirre
You will be forever missed but never forgotten you have left a hole in the friends and people that love you.

Chico will be greatly missed and not forgotten. He was a great person full of life and love and I will always be proud to call him family. I am deeply saddened I could not have had a chance to help him through whatever he was facing . Rip Chico
Speechless………..I just can’t believe you have gone from this world the way you did,you were to young and happy n you sure were the center of attention to everyone at every get togethers or parties……I have known you and your family since I was 2and you n your brother were always with my brothers Juan n Franco…….I learned to love you as a big brother and grieve slit over your passing on…….But now I realize GOD called you for only one good reason…..he choose you to be one of his angels….to watch down on all your loved ones and to keep them safe…….tell Nicole I said HI n we miss her as well as we all miss you…….I hope that if or when u do see your DAD……catch up on things and keep an eye of safety on those or us you live…..I love and miss you so very much that I have no exsact words to explain my saddness or pain I fell everytime I think or am going to start thinking about you and all of our years of fun and memories we made…..RIP CHICO U WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN……
Chico and I were raised as cousins , my heart is saddened by his loss and the fact I could not have helped him through whatever he was going through. He was a great cousin and our play time as kids was fun as can be . I will greatly miss him .Chico u were to young to go . Rip cousin
I loved you from the first instant. No words can describe the pain I feel now. My heart is broken. I will miss your late night phone calls even though they bugged me at the time.
Rest in Peace, Chico.
