Nubia Barahona Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 18 to Mar. 28, 2011.
Jorge Barahona, 53, a western Miami-Dade County pest exterminator, was found Monday on the side of the road, his acid-splashed adopted son Victor in the front seat of his pickup and the acid-soaked corpse of Victor's twin sister in the truck bed.

He has confessed to police that he placed his dead daughter Nubia Docter Barahona in the bag and drove to Palm Beach County with plans to kill himself, according to a West Palm Beach Police report.

Jorge Barahona and his wife Carmen, 60, were raising four adopted children, ages 7 to 11, officials said.

Every day I drive down 95 knowing subconsiously I saw that pickup exterminator vehicle thinking it was strangly parked.
I wish I would have known alot of things about you before your death.
So much kindness in this world to have you suffer so. Is unexcusable. Guilt is all I feel since you both disappeared from our view. Love to your brother to your sole and how I watch to help awareness on childrens rights.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of Nubia. She will be remembered by all who knew her and loved her. God has promised that in the near future the dead will be resurrected. Revelation 21: 4 says " he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more".

It’s difficult when we lose someone we love to death no matter what the circumstances may be. I am truly sorry for your loss. May Our Heavenly Father “the God of all comfort” (2 Cor. 1:3,4) comfort you and help you to cope during these most difficult days. Have faith in the promise God made at Psalms 37:29. It reads “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.” His promises bring us comfort and offers us hope. I offer my sincere condolences to you all.
