His dedication to the Spanish-speaking communities earned him numerous accolades, including Public Service Awards for his excellence in government service. The resolution recognizes his lasting impact on the Latino communities in Washington, D.C., and honors him as a beloved father, brother, and friend. The Council of the District of Columbia officially acknowledges and celebrates his life and contributions through this resolution.
