Gerardo Antonio Contreras López nació en noviembre 9 de 1990 en Long Beach, California.El primer hijo del señor Antonio Contreras y la señora Alberta López junto a sus hermanos Yvonne y Gustavo tuvo una infancia feliz al lado de su familia, durante su niñez soñaba con ser un jugador de futbol americano, sueño que no pudo cumplir pero se enfocó en algo que le apasionaba y disfrutaba hacer que era en dibujar, también sus vídeo juegos era algo más que le apasionaba disfrutar en su tiempo libre, durante su adolescencia y juventud siempre tuvo a su lado a su fiel compañero de alegrías y tristezas a su querido perrito "Mechas".

Al pasar el tiempo decidió unir su vida junto a Lupe Martínez del cual nació su amado hijo Miguel Antonio Contreras el cual llenó de alegría su vida, siempre pensando en sacar a su familia adelante. Hoy a sus 34 años su luz y su brillo se ha apagado dejando a su pareja e hijo,madre y familia con un profundo dolor en sus corazones pero con la fé y esperanza que se encuentra en los brazos de su querido Padre y hermanos en el reino de los cielos.

Salmo 23

"El Señor es mi pastor, nada me falta; en verdes praderas me hace descansar, a las aguas tranquilas me conduce, me infunde nuevas fuerzas. Me guía por senderos justos por amor a su nombre. Aunque pase por el valle más oscuro, no temo ningún mal, porque tú estás conmigo; tu vara y tu bastón me dan seguridad.

Preparas un banquete ante mis enemigos, me unges con perfume mi cabeza y mi copa se desborda. Tu bondad y tu amor me acompañan todos los días de mi vida. En la casa del Señor viviré por siempre."

¡La familia Contreras López y Martínez les agradecemos las muestras de amor y cariño hacia la familia en estos momentos difíciles de nuestra vida, muchas gracias!
