Francisco grew up in Cosalá and came to the United States as a young man. Soon after, he met and married his wife, Maria, and formed a beautiful family.

He worked for four decades in agriculture, primarily for rose companies, to support his family. He was very loving and always cheerful. He enjoyed having family get-togethers and spending time with his grandkids, nieces and nephews. Francisco loved listening, dancing and singing along to music. He had a great sense of humor. We could always count on him to make everyone laugh with his jokes and never-ending riddles. The nicknames he had for everyone in the family bring a smile to us all.

He instilled in all of us the importance of family and having a strong family bond. He was the pillar of our family. Everyone was always welcomed in his home and were treated like family. He was always there to lend a helping hand to family and friends.
