Rafael Botello

March 8, 1975 - January 7, 2021

Rafael Botello was a father, brother, son, and cousin. He never gave up on anyone no matter the situation. He was always there to lend a hand no matter how well he knew a person. He was a family person. He would do whatever it took to make his family happy. That’s all he wanted for his family to be happy and succeed. He worked so hard for his home. If anyone knew him well they would know that he loved to have barbecues with family over and kids in the pool. This is what truly made him happy. He would always tell anyone “Why don’t you guys go in the pool? We can barque hot dogs and hamburgers.” That was always his plan when family came over. He was a happy man who always joked around especially with his sisters and brother. He loved his wife so much. Their bond was unbreakable. No one understood their relationship, but they did. That’s all that matters. They raised four amazing children who are stubborn. They sure do love them and always will.

Rafael tested positive for COVID-19 in December along with his whole family. He was admitted to the hospital December 26. He fought for his family for his life, but it was his time to rest. He passed away January 7, 2021 with the comfort of his daughter. He will never be forgotten. He will always be missed.
