                               JOSE LUGO

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN S. DUARTE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 6, 2024

  Mr. DUARTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Jose 
Lugo. Jose was a loving son, father, brother, uncle, cousin, and 
friend. He put others before himself, and he made people laugh 
endlessly. He loved music and having a good time with his family and 
friends, while always ensuring that his friends and family were taken 
care of. While Jose is no longer with us, his loved ones are left with 
so many beautiful memories of him. His favorite places to visit were 
Half Moon Bay, Pescadero, or any beach.
  He was selfless and truly had a heart of gold, and demonstrated this 
by choosing to donate his organs at the end of his life so that others 
would receive an opportunity to extend their lives. He was able to save 
five different lives by donating his earthly organs, and for that he is 
now a guardian angel and hero. He will forever be in his family's 
hearts, and with his loved ones wherever life takes them. We love him 
and he will be missed dearly. May he rest in peace.
