Special thank you to all the family and friends of Anthony Jaimes. Blessings and special thanks from the bottom of our hearts to Deacon Billy Quintanilla for blessing us on doing our services. We the Jaimes and Morales family are very grateful that we have you in our lives. Love you with all our heart.

Anthony's life, though brief, mattered deeply.

Like many young hearts, he faced confusion, lacked guidance at times, and carried burdens he was still learning how to name. Yet in recent months, something sacred stirred within him.

He began seeking God.

Through Religious Education, the Rite of Acceptance, attending Holy Mass, and receiving a blessing, Anthony took real steps toward the Lord-steps of courage, openness, and hope. These moments remind us that God never stops calling His children, and that grace is always at work, even when a journey is unfinished.

We entrust Anthony to the mercy of a loving Father who sees the whole story-every struggle, every desire for goodness, every step toward the light.

May the Lord who is close to the brokenhearted receive him with compassion.

May Christ, who welcomed children and the lost, hold him in peace.

May the Holy Spirit comfort all who grieve-family, friends, and a community left with sorrow and questions.

Let this be a moment not only of mourning, but of resolve: to guide our youth with love, to walk with them patiently, and to never underestimate the power of a single step toward God.
