A tragic accident has claimed the life of a young Cuban in Miami Gardens, and his grieving family and friends are urging the community to assist in repatriating his body to Cuba. Rubén Ángel Ramírez Pérez, the victim, died in a car accident during the early hours of November 12, according to a close source.

The family has launched a fundraising campaign to transport his remains back to Cuba, where his mother, family, and friends are waiting to bid him farewell. "For those who wish to help bring Rubén Ángel Ramírez Pérez's remains to Cuba so his mother and family can say their final goodbyes, you can make a donation here. We will be eternally grateful," a Facebook post from someone close to the deceased shared.

Community Mourns the Loss

The untimely death of Rubén Ángel has deeply affected his friends and acquaintances, who have been sharing memories and expressing their sorrow. "Fly high, brother. We'll always remember you as the joyous person you were. I never thought I'd see you gone so suddenly. May your soul rest in peace; I hope you're with your dad in heaven," one user wrote.

Another close friend struggled to convey the depth of his emotions: "Words can't describe what I'm feeling right now. You weren't just a friend; you were and always will be my brother. You left too soon, with dreams and plans we had yet to fulfill together. It's incredible how you've left us, but you'll always be a warrior, and I'll carry you in my heart. We'll always be the 750. Rest in peace, I love you, my brother, wherever you are."

Fundraising Effort for a Final Goodbye

The sudden departure of Rubén Ángel was so unexpected that one friend recalled speaking with him just three days prior. The fundraising campaign is being conducted through the Donorbox platform, seeking to gather the necessary resources to fulfill the family's wish to lay him to rest in his homeland.
