Salvador Corona Jr.

Went to DMB over labor day weekend. My daughter Bliss wants to play the drums, guitar, flute... all that. I told her how about the cello? Miss you so much, I think of you all the time. You would think it gets easier living without you as time goes by but it gets harder knowing all the things you are missing. I believe you are watching over everybody that you love. It's the only thing that brings me comfort without you here.

I will never stop forgetting about you my friend! Blie

Nick stopped by today after seeing each other for 15 years. He's great. Has 6 kids, if you can believe that! He has a successful Contractor's business and seems really happy. He's going to be build me a really cool studio with a loft. It was strange being around him and not asking about you, about what's new with you or how you've been. We did have a quick chat about you and it made us smile. But today I think of you as a great love and friend, and a missing light.

Because of you, I encourage my son to learn an instrument and a second language. Unfortunately I stopped playing guitar (or trying to) after you left us. You were the inspiration. Maybe someday I'll pick it up again, but for now it just feels too inauthentic.

Your spirit has been a strong foundation in how I raise my son. You exuded what a good person really is and how a man should be. Thank you for that experience.

When we were in Mexico a month ago, I found jewelry made from someone in Guanajuato and I almost bought it just because of your connection to the city. Even after 15 years, you're still in my mind. A part of my soul forever. GOD I can't wait to reunite with you up there. Curious though - Are you still wearing khakis and Abuelo sweaters? :)

You might not be visible, but you're everywhere. I see you when a Corrado or Scirocco drives by. When STP's 'Creep' plays - Because I LOVED hearing you play and sing that one. Or every time I pass by some of our favorite places. Usually, it's the littlest and silliest things that trigger your memory. But you're always there. I miss you and it sucks.

I'm going thru the toughest time of my life right now and i looked up in the sky today and prayed. I asked you to bless and protect me at this moment. It's been so long and I still think of you often and never realized until today that your passing has left this immense grief and hole in my heart that I cant seem to deal with. Ive been in denial for a long time. Its not fair your life ended so soon and you didn't get to experience all the things your childhood friends are at this moment being 36..a wife, beautiful kids, your first home, cars, travels and fun toys . I know you wanted all of this for your future and you would have been the best husband, father and provider. I google from time to time your name, I read my post from 2015, I ball crying, I look up to God and ask if you can hear or see me and why? I miss you very, very much! I wish you could of seen the mom and woman I turned out to be. I overcame all the odds against me coming from a single mom on welfare, I know you are proud of me Salvador and my biggest supporter. It still hurts from my heart to the pit of my stomach when I think of you.

God, please bless Salvador's family and all of us that miss him so much daily!

Dios Bendiga Mi Amigo Precioso! ♥

Dear Salvador,
Even though it has been years since your passing I wanted to reach out and let you and your family know that we are still thinking about you and remembering all of your amazing qualities. Your selfless and humble nature, your love for your family and your amazing smile are some of the things that flash through my mind from time to time. Rest in peace.

Connected through the friendship of your sister, I light a candle in your honor.

My Dearest Son, Agnelo: It's been seven painful years since you're departure, but your presence is forever engraved in my heart, my soul, my thoughts and my whole being. Today you were remembered in Mass at Saint Madeline Sophie Church in Bellevue where you and all your loving siblings were baptized and your princess of light, your niece, Christina (as you called her because of the song by Robert Miles). The church is also where you ran to the alter, sat on the steps in front of the priest and asked him "are you Jesus?". The priest blushed and told you that he was trying to do Jesus' work on earth. And you said "oh, ok" and everybody clapped.
Today I picture you on those same steps where you sat to ask the questions. This was also the church where you and I sat to pray many times; especially when your Abuelito passed away.
Agnelo, only love can make a memory and that's what you are. Eternal love, Mommy (Bertha)

Hello,

I heard of the loss of Salvador Jr. a couple years ago. It was horrible news, he was so young. I hope the rest of the family is doing well. He will be missed by everyone.

Best Wishes,

Jairo Sedano

Sweet little brother: You've been away from us on earth for a year now. Not one goes by where my heart doesn't ache for you. I long so much to hear your voice. I loved those unexpected visits to my house. I loved the way you'd tap on my back door; never the front. My tears are of sadness that you're not with us physically and joy because you are at rest. I know you are watching me and the baby to come from heaven. I am sure all of the angels in heaven have working cars thanks to you and I hope you are charging the angels admission to your cello concerts.



Knowing you're safe in Guanajuato and constantly watching over me is what keeps me happy. I am always thinking and talking about you. It's the thought of you and your spirit that keeps me positive. I will see you again someday in heaven little bro.



I love you "Fizz-Head".



Love Always and Forever,Your Nana

Salvador, thanks for being one of the nicest kids I went to school with and thanks for being the first boy to ever tell me I was pretty. Even though we didn't keep in contact after high school, you had an impact on me. I'll miss you.

Dear "Agnelito"



IN YOUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY WITH GOD

(January 8, 2005 at 2:30AM)



Brother... it is the way I used to call you besides "Agnelito." I remember your last phone call a year ago, just about ten hours of your departure from this world, when God called you to be with him. Ever since you are playing your CHELLO for him and, in company of other Angels, just like you.



You are always in my heart specially for the daily reminders of your spirit around me.



Brother, I love you forever and, keep watching us from heaven!



Daddy (Salvador Agnelo Corona, SR.)

Querido Salvador,

I will always remember your smile, creativity, friendship and generosity. I will keep in my heart the sweetness of the 3rd grader I had the honor to teach.

Now, you are teaching us and uniting us. Thank you for the memories. You are missed but we know you are in a better place.

My sincere condolences to your parents, sisters and brothers and loved ones.

Con mucho amor tambien con mucha pena,

Sra. Colyer

Salvador, what I would give to have you back in my life. I think sometimes I am going crazy without you. I try to be strong, for you. You made my life so perfect, I have to learn to live without you in it and it almost seems impossible for me to do. I feel so lost without you. My life and my childrens life will never be the same. You gave us far too much to ever put into words, I try to speak to you still, hoping maybe you will hear me. I have to realize your never coming back to us. I hope one day I can wake up without hurting so bad inside. I pray to God to please make me understand, so I can feel peace and strength to go on. I know you are somewhere next to me. At night I still say in my mind, Good night, God bless you, I love you, baby.

Ilove you forever...

Salvador Agnelo Corona Jr.

Salvador Agnelo Corona Jr.



Sal. I have spent many days with you as a friend, and have come to think of you as my brother. You were a genius in your own rite. My memories of you, clouded they are not. dusty they are not. These memories of you and myself shine with such an illuminating brilliance, yet they are dim by comparison to the greatness that was your living self. You have touched many a life during your own, and left your mark by way of kindness, compassion, emotional comprehension, creativeness, and selflessness just to name a few. You were both a student and a teacher. Attaining greatness in both. We will sit together again, sheilding our eyes from the sunburst horizon as we inhale the sweet, cosmic-summer air from beyond the reach of the living. I miss you sal. Nelo. Sir Salvador Corona. There will be not another like you. As there was not another before.

-Matthew Michael Sherman

Sal, "Eguado"

Your presence, your beauty and love will be forever in my heart as well as evryone you touched. There is an emptiness without you in this world that will never be filled. You are too indeering.

I have not met a more passionate person who loved me like you did, El Sposo. You were my best friend.

I was just going through some of my mother's pictures and found one of us. I miss all of the traveling and music in our precious Mercedes. It's hard to believe that our beautiful car could'nt compete with you.

Courtney, Nick, Melodie and I did not get the news until too late. We are soo sorry that we were not able to attend your farewell. We will miss you until we re unite in Heaven. You always said that when you passed you would look after the ones you love. Well, they know you are.

I love you, "you are my favorite".

"AGNELITO ACTIVELY COVERING GRAFITTI MARKINGS AT HIS SECOND HOUSE IN GUANAJUATO, MEXICO, THE HOUSE OF HIS DEAR GRANDFATHER, DOCTOR EFREN CORONA CORONA!

HE IS NOW RESTING IN PEACE ALONG WITH THE REMAINS OF HIS GRANDPARENTS, MARIA DEL CARMEN CORTES DE CORONA, AND, DOCTOR EFREN CORONA CORONA!

I have so many fond memories of Salvador dating back to our days in Kindergarden in the Spanish Immersion group together. Our dads worked at Boeing together and I will always remember the smile he wore on his face when he would talk to me about airplanes or (his all time love)cars. I will also remember how he used to take such pride in dressing very nicely for not only picture day, but also for our orchestra concerts. Salvador always such a love and passion for Classical music that I will never forget. He was always very kind hearted and talked about his interests with such a passion that no one could mimic. It was a shame that the few Spanish Immersion reunions that we had Salvador was never able to attend.

My father and I send our thoughts and our prayers to his family during this time of hardship. We pray that through the strong bond of family the grief will subside over time.



love,

Patricia

MY HAPPY DEAR SON "AGNELITO"
SALVA DOR AGNELO CORONA Jr.

Bertha:



Solamente la Virgen Maria que perdio a su hijo sabe por lo que tu estas pasando en estos momentos. No puedo ni remotamente imaginarme el profundo dolor que el fallecimiento de tu hijo Agnelo te causa y quiero que sepas que rezo y pido porque tengas la entereza que necesitas para poder sobrevivir estos momentos tan dolorosos. No se si te sirva de consuelo saber que Agnelo dejo una huella muy profunda en muchas vidas y que sera recordado por siempre. Sus amigos, su familia y todos los que lo conocimos lo tendremos por siempre en nuestro corazon.



Te tengo en mis oraciones y estoy contigo en tu sufrimiento.



Tu amiga que te quiere,

Sylvia

To the whole Corona family: I cannot even imagine the great pain that all of you are going through right now. Reading some of the guest book's comments, I realize that Agnelo touched many, many lives in his brief life, and that each and everyone of them will keep him in their hearts forever. I certainly will. I pray that God gives you the strength that you need to endure these moments of sorrow. My heart and my prayers are with you all.



Agnelo: I know you are looking after your family from Heaven, comfort them. You are loved.



Much love,

Sylvia and family

Just like Alan, us being two peas in a pod in many cases, thank you for everything you've given to us. From your company to your guidance during our childhood. Thank you for everything and rest well.

Dearest son, Agnelo.



God gave you life through me and I will forever be grateful to Him for that. I'm very proud to be our mother.



Your radiant smile has always filled my heart with happiness. Your intelligence and positive thinking gave me hope in life.



Like I always told you: I miss you terribly. Not seeing you and holding you in my arms makes me very sad.



Everybody's heart has four chambers; My heart has five. Your absence has left a deep hole in my heart.



I pray to God for patience and understanding that I might overcome the lonliness of your absence and make my way through His divine wisdom.



The Good Sheperd lost a little lamb. (Agnelo)



I love you eternally. Your spirit is always with me now and forever.



I love you.



-Mommy Dearest

Te recordaremos siempre con cariño, Familia Ville Salazar

To the Corona Family,



Our sincere condolences to you, Mr. Corona, and your family. Salvador and my son Justin began their friendship in kindergarten in the Spanish Immersion program at Sunset Elementary School. I had not seen Salvador in a while, but remember his smile and sweet personality.

I am glad I had the opportunity to know him, if only for a while.



Again, my sincere condolences.

Guadalajara, Jal., Mèxico 7 Feb.04

Desde La Paz, Bolivia ingreso a este ALBUM DE RECUERDOS de Familia en Memoria de mi querido sobrino SALVADOR AGNELO CORONA Jr al cumplirse 30 días de su PASO A LA ETERNIDAD. Como Sacerdote Salesiano de la Familia, tuve la dicha de Bautizarlo en Bellevue Wash en 1982, posteriormente le dí la PRIMERA COMUNION, ceremonia en la cual su Padrino fue su Abueltito el Dr. Efrén Corona. Tuve siempre con AGNELITO una comunicación muy cercana, ya que con frecuencia anual nos vimos durante sus primeros años de Vida... Posteriormente dejé de frecuentarlo en su adolescencia de 1995 al 2001, fecha en que con grande alegría nos reencontramos en Guanajuato, luego en Lake Tahoe y en Ukiah. Con intenso sentido de FE Y ESPERANZA LO HE ACOMPAÑADO EN SU ENCUENTRO CON EL SEÑOR y en el final de su carrera en este mundo... Espiritualmente, desde lejos lo acompañé hasta su Solemnísimo FUNERAL y su descanso en la TUMBA de FAMILIA al lado de su inolvidable Abuelito el DR. EFREN CORONA, en Guanajuato, Gto. Méx. Sigo espiritualmente muy unido al dolor y al sentimiento de su Papá, de sus Hermanos, y de sus seres más queridos. CON MI ORACION los sigo acompañando, en particular a mi Hermano CHAVITA CORONA.

Desde La Paz, Bolivia, 7 de Febrero 2005, al cumplirso UN MES de su PASO A LA ETERNIDAD.

Comparto los momentos por los que han pasado, sinceramente Arturo

FIRST OF ALL PLEASE ACCEPT MY APPRECIATION TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE KIND
MESSAGES AND CONDOLENCES IN REGARDS TO THE SUDDEN AND TRAGIC DEATH OF MY
DEAR AND LOVING SON: SALVADOR AGNELO CORONA, JR.



Dear Brother... Dear Agnelito... Dear Hijito!


Agnelito, that is how I used to call you. Either way it was full of love and
pride and, I always lived proud of you.



Agnelito, certainly as your father and best friend I will remember you
forever and, for as long as God wanted me to live in this world that you
just departure... just ahead of me, ahead of many of us!



Agnelito, as you knew I become a proud father at your birth at the Overlake
Memorial Hospital in Bellevue, Washington, when I have the privilegde and
honor to witness your birth on a sunny day on July 21, 1982 just at 8:01am.



Agnelito, at the time of your birth, your warm body was first placed on my
bare hands and then, I give it back to Doctor Graham who much loved you too.
Right after that, you were wrapped on a "blue blanquet" that your older
sister, Anabrenda, "Nana" as you always called her, give you as your very
first present and then you were placed on top of your mother's chest.
Although that blanquet was used up troughout the years as it become raggedy,
"Nana" (Anabrenda) got you a new "blue blanquet" and that, it is the one
that is keeping you warm inside your casquet but, now to be warm in heaven
along with other angels.



Agnelito, as your "father or daddy," which is the way you always called me,
I can not ever imagine that I will be outliving you and be the one to buried
you, however, I have the complete spectrum of life and death with you, my
unforgatten and irreplaceable oldest son.



Agnelito, it was hard and devastated to heard the news after the fatal
accident in the state of California and, after over 22 years of your birth I
was asked to go and get you however, to get your body at the mortuary.



Agnelito, when I arrived at the mortuary you were not able to fit anymore in
my bare hands so I extended my arms only to get your rigid and cold body
because of your death.



Just in disbelief at the mortuary you looked so peacefull like you were
sleeping and I put my both hands on your face until I warmed it up, however,
you never become awake. No matter how much I talked to you, kissed you or
open your eyes, your eyes closed slowly as you were telling me with your
spirit:



"Daddy, I heard you, I see you, I feel your warm hands, but I am now with
God, my soul is now with him. Although I can not answer you anymore, I will
be watching you from heaven and I will continue to be in your life, however
I will not be able to talk back to you."



Agnelito, I considered as a high privilege from God to have you in my hands
at your birth as a warm and a live little and precious body as a miracle in
life and... to have you in my arms as a cold dead body too. As you also know
when you born all my brothers and sisters came from all over the world to
your bautism making your birth an historic life event because the last time
we were together was fourteen years earlier in Guanajuato, Mexico.



Agnelito, while you were alive, you have a tremendous, very special and a
unique love and connection with my father, your grandfather, Dr. Efren
Corona Corona and, after his death on February 4, 1993, you maintained a
close and spiritual connection to the point that always when you went to
Guanajuato, you visited him at his grave, talk to him and took him flowers
and, amazingly you managed to stick a written message also signed by your
younger brothers, Alito and Edgarcito, into his grave just behind the main
engraved stone.



Agnelito, I came to discover that message as I removed with my bare hands
the stone that covered his tumb, which it was witnessed by other relatives
and also by several close friends of the family.



Agnelito as you expressed in life that you wanted to be buried in Guanajuato
with your grandfather, that wish of yours was executed by your other
siblings: your oldest sister, Anabrenda, Gina Maria, Alan Argeo, Edgar
Otmaro and indeed by me who also proudly dressed you up with the help of
Anabrenda "Nana".



Agnelito, now you are not only resting in peace along with the remains of my
father but, with the remains of my mother's too. I should said that in the
same way you expressed your desire to be buried there, I have also expressed
the same desire however, when God called me to his side, I will be buried
then with You, along with my Father and, with my Mother too.



Agnelito, I will remeber you as the young arquitect and engineer who helped
me to build "Nana's" (Anabrenda's) room as well as your new bedroom too.
Also for your help working on the family cars as well as on the race cars
that I still have with your name listed as a race car driver, the Formula V
and, the Formula FORD.



Agnelito, I will remeber you for your ability to work with power tools at
your young age as well by making wood projects. To cite one of them, you
build an airplane for one of our Washington State Governors, Booth Gardner.
When you give it at his office in Olympia Washington he instructed one of
his bodyguards to place it on his main office display case. The governor was
proud of you too!



Agnelito, I will remeber how we traveled thousands and thousands of miles
together resolving mechanical challanges as well as other challanges to a
speedy cars on the Mexican's toll highways.
As a driver you were proud of maintaining the lead with the prospective
challangers and when possible you used to discuss size of engines with the
other driver as we stop on the nearest gas station.



Agnelito, I will remember you as a young driver at the age of nine when we
were traveling on a vacation trip to Tucson Arizona with Ginita and Alito as
a passengers. In that particular trip right after we left San Francisco,
California you ask me if I will let you drive on the freeway I-5 and I did.
The intention was so you will have the experience to drive on the open
freeway other than around the block at home. It was so amazing the way you
handle all the protocols of driving that you begun by fastening your
seatbealt, adjusted the mirrors and driver's seat and there we went. After
many hundred of miles after we approched Los Angeles you continue driving
and driving troughout Los Angeles freeways until we took the exit ramp to
Disneyland. Then you stop right at a the lobby of the Disneyland Hotel. Ever
since you were an excellent driver and every time we went for a long trip
always you were eager to drive and proud of the many miles you drove along
with the stops for a good rest.



Agnelito, it is just ironic that you lost your life in a car accident in
California and more ironic that you die with your seat belt on. The same was
cut off by the paramedics to relief you from the car seat as you were
pronunced death at the scene of the accident.



Agnelito, I will remeber you for so many stories and glad that I have you on
a video tape ever since your birth as well as when you were growing up. The
hundreds and hundreds of pictures waring a happy smile will remain forever
as the best life history along with pictures with your friends and other
testimonies.



Agnelito, I will remember you for your great multi-talents and for your vast
knowledge in many subjects. I learned from you a whole lot too as you helped
me to resolve many mechanical and engineering problems with your logic and
analytical mind. You had a tremendous vision in engineering that always
leaved me amazing and forever proud of you.



Agnelito, incidentally and just as a coincidence last Christmas I showed to
your brothers, Alan and Edgar who they have maintained excellent grades in
Algebra and Geometry, with your grades on a progress report prepared by your
teachers Pat Timmons and Jeff Bright, from your Newport Hign School. On the
face of the report I wrote a note to you that reads: "Always, proud of my
son, Thank's" The note was because your grades were 101.0% due to the fact
that one of the test you scored 41.00 points out of 40 receiving a +2. Just
an A+. That report was proudly kept in Guanajuato as one of your many
intellectual treasures.



Agnelito, I have the opportunity to heard so many histories and testimonies
about your kinness and your down to earth gifted individual.



Agnelito, I will never foget your last phone call the day of your death
inviting me and my brother your uncle, TIO GUERITO to join you and Christine
Marino for a family gathering in Sacramento for a great paella. It was
unfortunately that the news came just minutes before tio Guerito was in his
way to join you for an entire week in Ukiah.



Agnelito, I know that you are now in the hands of God enjoying the celestial
peace in heaven. I know that you are playing your Cello for God honoring him
with your talent for music that he provided you.



Agnelito, I will be missing you however, I know that you will be now my
principal angel that will be proving me with a Divine guidance so I can
continue my mission, my best mission in this life.



Agnelito, as you know our family was not exempt from adversities in life and
right after my marriage ended just 10 years ago (1995) our family life got
shatered by separation however, you have a goal to reunite your brothers and
sisters again and to go to Guanajuato like we used to go on vacations year
after year.



Well... you certainly accomplished that goal as we were reunited once again
after 10 long years of separation and in Guanajuato like you wanted to be,
however, before your dead body.



Agnelito, I will tell you that God allowed you to accomplish that as one of
the mission that perhaps you were born for it. That is just a mistery of
life but now we are happidly reunited again, I become once again the father
of my loving children, five children!


AGNELITO, you are an angel, you are my angel, you reciprocated my love for
you!



Agnelito, along with your friends, relatives and brothers, Alan Argeo, Edgar
Otmaro and, with your sisters Anabrenda, Gina Maria and your niece Christina
and brother in law James, and my wife Esperanza, we will miss you. By the
way and by no doubt you will be missed by your mother.



God bless you and... guide me from heaven!



Your Father... Your Daddy!



SALVADOR AGNELO CORONA, Sr.

Chavita; consternados por el lamentable fallecimiento de Nelo, te acompañamos con nuestras oraciones deseandote una pronta resignación. Descanse en paz nuestro sobrino Salvador Agnelo Corona Jr.

Dearest Salvadore and Familia:

May I extend my deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers. Thank you for including me and giving me this opportunity to read the "Guest Book" and get to know your son through all his family, friends, teachers and loves from all over the world.

God Bless, Nancy

Thank you for everything. You will be missed, but never forgotten; Your insight and spirit remain with us at all times.

Sal,

My most clear memories are of you offering your comfort when you and Tim came to my house to collect on the yard work you guys did for me. I was crying and you offered a shoulder without hesitation. Also, when I took you to pick up your paycheck on the Willits grade and you did nothing but talk about how my aunt Christine was everything that you wanted and you said "I love her so much" about a hundred times before we got back to Ukiah. And our "inventions" conversation at christmas, I have sworn that if I ever do get around to inventing that new foucet, which I had explained in laymens terms and you quickly turned into technological terminalogy, I will name it after you. THE SALVADOR. Catchy Huh?

Christine sure does miss/need you. My family, when you are mentioned, always bring up the fact of you being such an amazing person for the children to have in there lives. I strongly believe that children feel peoples goodness or otherwise. Children did love you. And that to me says enough in its self. You are certainly missed.

Salvador Corona,

I am so thankful that you came into mine and my families lives over two years ago. You fit in so well, you were a part of our family. How you made the world smile! Your happy persona was hard to ignore! When I think of you I think of you smiling and always offering a helping hand. Your positive energy flowed through every room you walked in. Eager to help, eager to please, such a sweet, simple, loving soul. I think of you answering the phone, "Salvador Corona here!" with such positive happy energy. I think of the goofy things you did and the kindness you always showed. The way you loved all of our children and when we would all get together, it was you who knew how to keep the kids amused. The way you would say things two or three times, because you were so excited. Your artistic talents, from flower arranging to picture making! I think of the seriousness in your face and the sweat rolling down off your forehead when you played the cello. The way you blushed when you took off your glasses and I discovered what a handsome young man you were! Your love of music, people, life.

Sal, you left a mark on all of our hearts.

We all love you and miss you terribly.

My sweet Salvador,

It is very hard for me to say goodbye because I thought we would always be together. You were my sunshine of each day. You were my best friend, you were my lover, you were my match made in heaven. Every day is a challenge to go on without you, you were my strenth. All my life I had dreamed of a man on a white horse to come and rescue me and show me the happiness and love I always wanted in life. You were that prince I waited for. You fulfilled everything that was missing in my life. Thankyou for loving me , Thankyou for loving my children as if they were your own. They miss you very much. It's hard for me to make them understand why God takes the most precious things away sometimes. As I always told you, you were my angel sent by God. For a reason I may never know, he took you away. I will love you every day of my life and I will cherish every word of wisdom that was spoken.My heart aches every moment for you. No one will, or could ever take your place. You are the only one who will ever hold the key to my heart. I love you so much.

As time has passed since my last posting, more thoughts have crossed my mind. I still remember the last time I hung out with Salvador, he randomly showed up at my moms house one early morning in 2002. I heard a honk in the drive way so I went out to see who it was, and there was Salvador with his huge smile, I swear that smile didn't change at all in 15 years. Anyways he had just gotten a new Mercedes Benz that he was working on (When wasn't he working on a car?) So we wen't out for a ride. When we got back I told him I was getting a weird sound from my Eclipse, we went for a ride and he quickly diagnosed the problem and helped me located the parts needed. That's just the kind of person Salvador was, he could be off doing his own thing for years, randomly show up one day, and it would be like old times all over again. Really one of the greatest people I ever knew, with one of the biggest hearts.

Salvador...I never knew that the hardest thing I ever had to do until this point is to express my final words to you! After HighSchool we have not kept in touch and I feel so guilty. I have so much regret right now its eating my mind. I remember first meeting you in science class 7th grade. It was so hard to jump into Spanish Immersion when this class had been together since they were 5. Instantly you extended a big smile to me and we became very close friends. Your family welcomed me into your home on the days my mom couldn't pick me up after school. We hung out in your loft and you would play your guitar, we listened to Bush and shared secrets I will never tell. I admired you for your sensitivity. Having so many family members you loved sooo much really reflected alot in your personality. My mom was so protective of me especially with guys but she trusted you and saw how beautiful our friendship was from the beginning. You were such a respectful young man!! I miss you so much Salvador and I just can't come to terms with what has happened nor do I think I ever will. I had always thought we would run into eachother again, we just get so busy in our lives that we forget to not take for granted those who mean so much to us! I don't want to stop writting because then I have to say goodbye and I just can't do that right now. I want to you to know that there will never be anybody like you Salvador you are a one in a trillion, the most unique person I will ever meet. I will keep you forever in my heart and keep sharing our wonderful memories we had together. I am so proud to hear you kept playing beautiful music with your cello. Please watch over me and keep all the people around me safe. Knowing you I bet you already are!! This is so hard, it hurts tooo much but.....RIP my beautiful friend I miss you more than I will ever be able to express. To Salvador's Family...thank you for sharing your Angel, my heart goes out to all of you and you are all in my prayers. I love you Salvador...I wish I could of told you that in person but I know you hear me! Until me meet again friend........

Sal, bro, you will be missed dearly, love, your bro, Ron.

RIP little brother.

Salvador-

I know you're gone, but in Heaven, you'll know what I'm saying...we didn't keep in touch, and we haven't seen or spoken to each other in years, but you never left my thoughts and I always took comfort knowing that you were somewhere in this world pursuing your dreams and continuing to be yourself always trying to succeed. When I heard about your passing, it blew me away...I know we lost touch, but there was a time when we were close, real close...a time when you were one of my best friends....we were young, happy, and beautiful, and sitting here now typing this all the way in Garmisch, Germany where I'm living now I can't help but smile when I think of hanging out with you upstairs in your loft-like bedroom, laughing and joking...since we were kids we knew one another, and sitting here now I'm pretty much sick to my stomach knowing that you've gone so soon. I guess in the back of my mind I always thought I'd run into you again some random time on the Eastside...you driving an eccentric car you fixed up yourself, that classic Salvador grin stretched across your handsome face, and you'd greet me with a giant hug and we'd catch up, reconnect, and see where our lives had taken us since the days of Sunset, Sra. Toni and Zendejas, and when I had a crush on your older sisters friends....I guess I'll have to wait old friend. See you in the next life. My heart and soul goes out to the Corona family, thankyou for the kindness and love you showed me in my youth. Parents shouldn't ever have to bury their children, but try your best to go on. My prayers are with you.



requiescant in pace old friend.



Love Always,

Justin Bradley Schley

Nelo,

You were always there for me. Having you as my uncle was great fun. I will never forget you. I will see you up in heaven later. Everyone misses your smile and laugh. You made everyone feel so good inside when you did something for them. I will never forget all thoose times you would come into town and show up at our house without telling us all first. It was always nice to hear and see you. I'll see you later uncle Nelo. But for now C'ya.

El libro de la vida se va escribiendo día a día por cada uno de nosotros. Tu libro Agnelo, ha cerrado la última página, páginas todas llenas de hechos de gran vivencia, porque viviste en tu corta edad situaciones increíbles, experiencias únicas y las viviste siempre con gran profundidad. Así recuerdo que mi abuelito me decía que debían ser vividos los días, uno a uno, como si fuese el último. Envía un saludo a mi abuelito Doctor Efrén Corona Corona y que tu partida deje a todos un soplo de aliento, amor, resignación y esperanza para los que quedamos atrás. Aún con tu partida sigues realizando hazañas y das ejemplo a todos los que te conocimos. Buen viaje y que estés en Paz. Vivirás eternamente en nuestro corazón y en nuestro recuerdo. Tu primo y familia.

Nelo: Me encantó conocerte y convivir contigo el tiempo que lo hice. Fuiste una persona inteligente y con gran carisma que llevó acabo una misión hermosa en esta vida. Siempre te recordaré con gran cariño.

Estimado primo Chavita: Los Corona Alvarado de Guadalajara te acompañamos en tu pena, Beatriz y yo tuvimos el placer de tratar a tu NELO en León hace poco mas de 2 años y también lamentamos que se nos haya adelantado. Recibe nuestras condolencias con un fuerte abrazo. Nuestra hija Ana Cecilia estuvo en la Misa de Guanajuato y nosotros recibimos la Homilía de Thelian.

Ing.Orestes Corona Q. / Beatriz A. de Corona

Dearest Salvador will be missed terribly. We are so sad and in disbelief that he's gone. He was someone I've known for only a short time but felt like Ive known him always , We met and became friends instantly. I respected him for his honesty, his knowledge in mechanics, and talents in the symphony. He made friends everywhere he went, he would do anything for anyone, a man you can count on and trust for his word. We will miss you and your friendly personality and smile and look forward to seeing you again in Heaven. Stephen and Carmen

Agnelito: Te conocí chiquitito con tu carpinteria, inquieto, increíblemente inteligente y activo. Mis hijos en Guanajuato Mauri, Pedro y Mª Isabel te recuerdan a tus escasos 11 años en casa de nuestro abuelito Efrén construyendoles una casita para guardar sus lagartijas. Eras todo un ejemplo un personaje. Luis te conoció en la boda de Afra y tu joven, sociable y con esa personalidad unica te recordamos nos ilusionaste mucho. Nunca te olvidaremos querido Primo sentimos mucho que nunca pudiste venir a España y compartir nuestra vida contigo. Ahora estas en un lugar seguro y hermoso no nos olvides como nosotros NUNCA TE OLVIDAREMOS, TE ENVIAMOS TODO NUESTRO AMOR Y GRATITUD POR HABER SIDO TAN AUTENTICO. LA PAZ SEA CONTIGO! ¡SIENTO QUE TE HAYAS IDO TAN PRONTO! TE QUEREMOS Y RESPETAMOS DESDE LO MAS PROFUNDO DE NUESTROS CORAZONES. Beny, Luis, Mauri, Pedro y Mª Isabel desde España

I extend my deepest sympathy to Salvador's family. His loss has profoundly affected us all. Salvadore, may God hold you tight.

NELO. Has marcado la vida de todos los primos CORONA con tus visitas, tus pláticas, tu constante búsqueda a cada uno de nosotros. Nos has mantenido unidos a ti para siempre. UN BESO! Te quiero mucho.

Salvador, marcaste mi corazón compartiendo tu abuelito con nuestra clase en segundo grado. Era muy evidente el cariño y orgullo que ambos se tenían el uno al otro. ¡Qué gusto me da leer, que estarán juntos allá en Guanajuato! Grabaste las huellas de tu cariño, talento y modo de ser en nuestras memorias. ¡Vaya con dios Salvador Agnelo! ¡Vaya con Dios!

Nelo: Siempre viviras en nuestro corazon. has dejado una huella profunda en todos los que te queremos, nunca olvidare las interesantes conversaciones que tuvimos siempre, te tengo presente en mi casa, con finos detalles, que me trajiste, Nelo, viviras entre nosotros, tu musica, tu chello tu hermosa sonrisa. Gracias a Dios por tu ser.

Hola Salvador y familia,

I am very sad to hear about this tragedy; God bless you all. I remember that great smile, those happy eyes, friendly ways, and happy times. I am happy to hear that you continued in music, Salvador; God blessed you in so many ways; we will all miss you. Fond and sad farewell. Amigos para siempre.

I was heart broken when Nik told me that Salvador had passed. We were always good friends since the Tillicum days but got to be real good friends at Newport and stayed friends evem after I went to Lynnwood High. I remember the Spanish classes, the dress up days and your goofy smile and laugh. You were a GREAT friend and we all had a lot of good times together. He is one of the reasons I got into building race cars for a living now, he got me into it and that is one of the reasons I own a shop now. I will miss him dearly and had hoped to see him again one day. RIP Salvador, you will always live on in our hearts and that’s something that can never be taken away. My prayers go out to the Corona family and I thank god for having allowed me to know Salvador.

I didn't know you that well, but knew you for a long time. Everytime we talked you were funny and full of energy. You will be missed.

I will always remember the way you lived; how you used to dress up for your class pictures in a suit and covered in cologne, the way you would talk passionately about cars (from fiats to bochos), and most of all the way you accepted everybody with an open heart.



Te vamos a extranar.

Thinking back on our school days together brings forth feelings of happiness, comfort, and familiarity. You added so much to the program and to the lives of those of us who got to share it with you. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. You'll be missed.

The first time we met Sal was here in Ukiah, at Marino's Pizza, one of his favorite haunts. Sal was wearing a tux and we began talking as we waited for our food. He told me he had just finished playing at a concert. I assumed, because of his young age that he was in some kind of rock band, and was astonished to find that he played cello with the Ukiah Symphony. We discussed all styles of music and found he knew as much about Beethoven as he did about Les Claypool of Primus, one of the premier bassists in contemporary music. Sal was a friend to my family, was always kind, curious and clever, and I was constantly amazed by his breadth of knowledge of nearly any subject. He is, and will be, missed. Thank you to the Corona family for allowing us to say goodbye to your Nelo at his moving tribute in Ukiah. May we all strive, as Sal did, to hear the harmony within the dissonance.

Neeeloo-

May your new expereince and life with the Lord your spiritual father be perfect and filled with all the love you could ever need. Your kind heart and carefree personality will forever stay with us as we aspire to aquire those blessings. Continue to tell us your stories and we promise to always listen! We love you very much.

Nelo, baby brother- You will always be my little fizz-head. Things happen for a reason. As mommy said, "you were too much for this world". As daddy and I prepared you today for your final journey to Guanajuato, i could only think of the many, many wonderful times we had together and the closure that experience gave me today. Your inquisitive mind, determination, talents and unconditional love for us will remain in our hearts together forever. I will see you someday face to face in heaven. Until now Nelo, watch over me, James and Christina. You are always on my mind. I know your soul will guide me in the right direction. I will listen for your words of wisdom and your guidance as i fulfill my journey of life with my loved ones. I am forever your nana.



Thank you everyone for your condolences. We are here today gone tomorrow. Live life as best you can for my baby brother.

My first memories of you were as a smiling little boy all dressed up and excited about school. My little sister always wore a smile when talking about you. Your awesome energy will always be here.

I will always remember Salvador's smiling face. He made everyone in our class smile. He will be missed by everyone involved in the spanish immersion program. Thank you for being a part of my life.

Nelo. Saber que te nos anticipaste es triste, saber que no te vimos alcanzar tus grandes horizontes, pero Dios asi lo quiso y lo aceptaremos. Ojala y que alla en la gloria junto con Abuelo Efren nos hechen a todos los Coronas un aliento de resignacion y esperanza.Te recordaremos con mucha alegria pues eras alguien a quien se

le admiraba como parte de nuestra FAMILIA. TE QUIERO GABY

Salvador you were always such a sweet and caring young man. Always smiling and willing to help with anything. Those who were close to you were fortunate to have such a compassionate friend. Lo acompañamos en su dolor y rezaremos por usted y su familia.

I remember Salvador as a little boy with a generous heart and a desire to learn.

I don't remember all of my former students, but I do remember this young boy. I was so sorry to learn of his death.

You will always be on my mind and in my heart. I love you Nelo. Thank you for your example. I will never forget your carisma. May you rest in peace in our beloved Guanajuato.

Nelo:

Las cosas ya no serán igual ahora, para mi seguiras siendo el primo especial con el que mas convivi de la familia Corona y con el que mas cosas en común tengo.



En mi mente y en mi corazón siempre estarás, buen viaje.



Te quiere y te extraña Jose Trueba Corona

You will be missed.

Sal you were a smiling, giving guy and I'm sure you're smiling as you look down upon us. You will be in our thoughts always, take care young sir

Nelo-belo-ciello, that was what his two older twin sisters (Teana and I) called him. He loved his ciello and always spent his time inventing new things on his own. He was always there for his friends and family, expecting nothing in return. May he rest peacefully with his abuelito and his Mercedez Benz. I love and forgive you Nelo-belo-ciello.

Nunca te conoci, pero eras tan joven que no puedo dejar de lamentar tu marcha. Alla donde estes, espero que encuentres paz.

Salvador, you were a great friend. I remember you for your bright smile that brought hapiness to everyone around you. You will be missed and fondly remembered.

With tears in my eyes and pain in my own heart, I send my deepest condolences to Salvador's family. I was so shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. I will always remember his wonderful smile and his cheerfulness whenever I saw or spoke with him.



Former classmate Nik Olguin's mother

Corona Family, Siento tanto haber oido las noticias de Salvador.Tengo muchas memorias de el. He will always be in our hearts. God Bless

Sra. Toni y familia

Our whole family will miss you, Salvador. We love you and your music will remain in our harts. Thank you for sharing your music with us when you came to our house.



Even though I didn't have you in class, you were always one of my best students from Sunset.



I know you are with the Lord for you were one of the kindest person I have known.



Love,



Sra. Guerra and Family
