Rafael Murillo passed away on December 23, suddenly and unexpectedly. He was born on August 8, 1947, in Michoacán, Mexico, and lived a life defined by hard work, kindness, and quiet generosity.
Rafael was a master machinist for nearly 50 years, a career that reflected his skill, patience, and strong work ethic. He took great pride in his craft and was respected by all who worked alongside him. Outside of work, Rafael had a deep love for painting and expressed himself through art. He was always well dressed, carrying himself with dignity and care, no matter the occasion.
Known for his big heart, Rafael lived simply and gave generously, often donating to help others without seeking recognition. His humility and compassion left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
Rafael is survived by his sons; Johnny, Eddie, Davis, and Ed, who will forever carry his lessons of perseverance and integrity. He was a loving grandfather to Aiden, Jacob, Lily, Jack, Nicolas, Olivia, and Sofia, who brought him great joy and pride. Cherished brother to Enrique and Raul.
Rafael Murillo will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
