In Loving Memory of Rafael Robert Gaspar January 4, 1972 - August 24, 2004welcome to rafaelgaspar.com Rafael
was struck suddenly at age 30 by an APS (Hughes Syndrome) attack
which led to multiple surgeries, eventual organ failure, a year-long
listing at UCLA for intestinal/liver/pancreas transplant, and sadly,
despite valiant medical efforts, his death during transplant surgery
on 8/24/04. The hope that transplant provided his body and spirit
afforded him one more precious year with us. This
website, numerous memorial trees & an annual Drive
for Raf honor his incredible life, filled with adventures
that took him to the far corners of the world while touching
the depths of our hearts and souls. We commemorate
Rafael's unique wisdom, contagious smile, encouraging words,
bold actions, courage facing adversity and intense love of
life. We
invite you to experience
some of his adventures, through photos, journal entries, his
captain's log and by viewing trees planted around the globe
in his name. Thank
you for helping us celebrate his life. The Gaspar
Family
This website as well as a new website are under construction. There will be a new guestbook added. If you'd like to email us pictures to info@liferaf.com or post them on his Memorial Facebook Page: Rafael Gaspar Memorial. Thank you for your patients. |
