With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jose Gregorio Navarro Lombrano, affectionately known to all as Grego, on July 5th, 2025. Born on February 24th, 1993, in Maracaibo, Venezuela, Grego brought joy and warmth to everyone fortunate enough to know him.

On May 1st, 2022, Grego came to the United States in search of a better life—a journey marked by courage, hope, and unwavering determination. His spirit, resilience, and boundless heart quickly made him unforgettable to all who crossed his path.

Grego was truly the engine of his family—a man whose strength, humor, and selfless nature held everyone together. He was known for his tireless work ethic and his deep love for those around him. Grego never met a stranger; he had a remarkable gift for turning acquaintances into lifelong friends. His hugs were legendary—comforting, genuine, and full of love.

Fate smiled when Grego met the love of his life, Glenn Mullins, on August 7th, 2022. The two were married on December 23rd, 2023, beginning a love story filled with joy, laughter, and deep devotion.

Grego tragically lost his life to a devastating illness called Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)—a rare and aggressive condition that affects the immune system. In honor of Grego’s memory, the family wishes to bring greater awareness to HLH, in hopes that more research, understanding, and early diagnosis may help save lives in the future.

He is survived by his beloved spouse, Glenn; his mother, Raquel Ibarra Navarro; his brothers, Neivin and Josue; his sisters, Sirley and Alejandra; and a very special thanks to his Nera – Adriana Morillo, his dogs Kimo, Gemma and Lali and countless family friends, nieces, and nephews who adored him. He will be sorely missed, but his vibrant spirit, infectious smile, and the love he gave so freely will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Grego’s life was a beautiful testament to kindness, love, and perseverance. May his memory forever be a blessing.

Con corazones llenos de tristeza, anunciamos el fallecimiento de José Gregorio Navarro Lombrano, cariñosamente conocido por todos como Grego, el 5 de julio de 2025. Nació el 24 de febrero de 1993 en Maracaibo, Venezuela, y Grego trajo alegría y calidez a todos los afortunados de conocerlo.

El 1 de mayo de 2022, Grego llegó a Estados Unidos en busca de una vida mejor, un viaje marcado por su valentía, esperanza y determinación inquebrantable. Su espíritu, resiliencia y corazón sin límites lo hicieron inolvidable para todos los que cruzaron su camino.

Grego fue realmente el motor de su familia, un hombre cuya fortaleza, sentido del humor y naturaleza desinteresada mantenían unidos a todos. Era conocido por su incansable ética de trabajo y su profundo amor por quienes lo rodeaban. Grego nunca conoció a un extraño; tenía un don increíble para convertir conocidos en amigos de toda la vida. Sus abrazos eran legendarios, reconfortantes, genuinos y llenos de amor.

El destino sonrió cuando Grego conoció al amor de su vida, Glenn Mullins, el 7 de agosto de 2022. Se casaron el 23 de diciembre de 2023, comenzando una historia de amor llena de alegría, risas y devoción profunda.

Trágicamente, Grego perdió la vida debido a una enfermedad devastadora llamada Linfohistiocitosis Hemofagocítica (HLH), una condición rara y agresiva que afecta al sistema inmunológico. En honor a la memoria de Grego, la familia desea aumentar la conciencia sobre HLH, con la esperanza de que más investigación, comprensión y diagnóstico temprano puedan ayudar a salvar vidas en el futuro.

Le sobreviven su querido esposo, Glenn; su madre, Raquel Ibarra Navarro; sus hermanos, Neivin y Josué; sus hermanas, Sirley y Alejandra; y un agradecimiento muy especial a su Nera, Adriana Morillo, así como a sus perros Kimo, Gemma y Lali y a incontables amigos, sobrinos y sobrinas de la familia que lo adoraban. Lo extrañaremos profundamente, pero su espíritu vibrante, su sonrisa contagiante y el amor que dio tan libremente vivirán en los corazones de todos los que lo conocieron.

La vida de Grego fue un hermoso testamento de bondad, amor y perseverancia. Que su memoria sea siempre una bendición.
