Father’s Final Goodbye: Remembering Emilio Midina Jr., Gone Too Soon at 45
With heavy hearts, the family and loved ones of Emilio Midina Jr. announce his heartbreaking passing on July 5, 2025, at the age of 45. A man known for his gentle strength, unwavering love, and deep devotion to his family, Emilio’s absence leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who cherished him most.
Emilio was not just a partner, a father, or a son — he was the quiet anchor that held his family together. His days were spent working hard to build a better life for the people he loved most: Analyn, his beloved partner and the mother of his child, and their 3-year-old daughter, Ashley Joy, the light of his world.
To Ashley, he was more than a dad — he was her protector, her storyteller, the arms that lifted her high when the world felt too big. She may be too young to understand this loss now, but in time, she will come to know the kind of man her father was — through the stories of those who loved him, and through the strength and grace he passed on to her.
His passing has left not only an emotional hole but a tremendous financial burden. Emilio’s family is now struggling to cover the costs of his funeral and outstanding medical bills, a heavy weight to carry while also grieving the loss of someone so dear. His loved ones are reaching out to their community, friends, and compassionate strangers alike, seeking any support that can help ease this painful journey.
This isn’t just about money — it’s about *dignity*. It’s about allowing Emilio’s memory to be honored the way he deserves: with peace, with love, and with the support of those who believe in lifting one another up during life’s darkest hours.
A fundraiser has been launched in his memory, not just to pay for the expenses left behind, but to show Analyn and little Ashley that they are not alone, that Emilio’s life mattered, and that his legacy lives on — not only in memory but in kindness and community.
In times like these, we are reminded that life is fragile, and that love is the only thing we truly carry with us. Emilio carried a great deal of it in his 45 years — and though his time was far too short, the impact of his presence will echo for a lifetime.
Rest peacefully, Emilio Midina Jr. May your memory live on in the smile of your daughter, in the strength of your partner, and in the hearts of those who now carry your story forward.
