Miguel Mendoza, 26-years-old, died in the early morning hours on August 25 after a tragic motorcycle accident in the city of Irvine.

Mendoza left behind his wife Alejandra and their two children, a 7-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl.

Alejandra wrote on a GoFundMe page that “Miguel was so young and full of life. His family was everything to him! He had love for riding his bike with his friends and was such a loving and caring person to everyone around him. He was taken from us too soon and we are left with the disbelief that he won’t be coming back to his family. “

The GoFundMe page will raise money for funeral expenses and supporting his family as they navigate life without Mendoza. So far it has raised over $4K.

The news of Miguel’s passing has sent shockwaves through the community, with friends and coworkers expressing their sorrow on social media. Mike Miranda shared, “I am deeply saddened to post this and lose Miguel as a friend and coworker. He was a hard worker, respectful, and always willing to lend a helping hand. He will be missed by many,” according to Paznote.
