Celestino Rodriguez Ornelas

My brother was an extraordinary man—an entrepreneur, military sergeant, and devoted father. He was deeply loved by everyone who knew him, and he had a genuine love for life. Social by nature, he thrived on meeting new people and was always willing to help others, even if it meant giving the shirt off his back. As a brother, he was incredibly caring and protective of his four sisters, and as a father, he dedicated himself fully to his four sons.

He truly had a heart of gold.

As his sister and the oldest among the sisters, I had the privilege of knowing him best. We were just three years apart, and we shared many childhood memories growing up together. It would mean a great deal to me, my mom & sisters to one day meet the person who received his beautiful heart, to know how it continues to beat and bring life to someone else.
