With profound sadness and heartfelt gratitude for a life well lived, we announce the peaceful passing of Rafael A. Hiraldo Ventura on July 8, 2026, at the age of 80.
Rafael was a devoted husband, a loving father, and whose warmth, humor, and generous spirit brought joy to all who knew him. For 58 wonderful years, he shared a life of love, faith, and devotion with his beloved wife, Sarah Hiraldo.
He is lovingly remembered by his cherished wife, Sarah; his daughters, Carmen Raquel, Ana, and Emily; and his beloved granddaughters, Isabella, Raquel, and Gabriela. His legacy of love, faith, kindness, and quiet strength will continue to live on in their hearts.
“For we believe that Jesus died and rose again and so God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”
— 1 Thessalonians 4:14
Rafael’s life was a blessing to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Until that glorious day when Jesus returns, he rests peacefully in the loving care of his Savior.
“Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
— Revelation 22:20
