It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected and tragic passing of Francisco Javier Sotelo Rodarte, who departed this life far too soon at the age of 37. A cherished son, devoted partner, loving father, caring brother, and loyal friend, Francisco’s passing has left an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew and loved him.

Born and raised in Salinas, California, Francisco was known for his unwavering integrity, generous heart, and infectious smile. His joyful spirit uplifted everyone around him—whether through a kind word, a helping hand, or the unforgettable sound of his laughter that could brighten even the darkest day. He lived a life centered on love, compassion, and service—values he instilled in his children and demonstrated every day to his family and community.

Francisco was a proud and dedicated father to two beautiful daughters, who were the center of his world. He worked tirelessly to ensure their happiness, security, and success. As a partner, he was loving and steadfast; as a father, nurturing and selfless. His devotion to his family knew no limits, and his presence provided strength, warmth, and comfort to those around him.

He leaves behind not only his immediate family, but also a large extended family and a close-knit circle of friends. From childhood memories and weekend barbecues to late-night talks and shared dreams, Francisco created lasting bonds and unforgettable memories. His impact on others was deep and lasting.

As the Sotelo Rodarte family endures this unimaginable loss, we ask the community to join in offering support. A fundraiser has been organized in Francisco’s memory to help ease the financial burdens associated with this sudden tragedy—assisting with funeral costs and ensuring continued support for his daughters as they grow and thrive.

Your generosity—whether through donations, kind words, or simply being present—means more than words can express. Every gesture, big or small, brings light during this dark time and honors the legacy of a man whose life was defined by love and giving.

Francisco Javier Sotelo Rodarte may be gone from our sight, but he will never be gone from our hearts. His memory lives on in every smile he sparked, every life he touched, and every act of kindness he inspired.

May he rest in eternal peace.
Gone too soon, but forever remembered.
