  June 30, 2023, at the age of 30; and
         WHEREAS, Born on October 2, 1992, Patrick Escalante was the
  only child of Ernesto G. and Deborah Villafranca Escalante, and he

         WHEREAS, Although his time on this earth ended far too soon,
  those fortunate enough to have known Patrick Escalante will always
  remember the way he touched their lives with his infectious smile,

  will forever hold a treasured place in their hearts; now,
  therefore, be it

  Guerra Moya; and to his other relatives and friends; and, be it
  further
