Raised in Tribute:
$385.50Jimmy Muñoz is my dad, he passed from complications of Parkinson's on February, 22nd 2024. He is a loving father, husband and Papa. He was diagnosed 15 years ago. Even though Parkinson's slowly chipped away at him, he still had the stubbornness to make it work. He modified everything he could to make life with Parkinson's tolerable. Parkinson's took it's toll on my dad's hands, which forced him to retire from the job he loved for 35 years. My dad loved to travel. He has been to over 30 National Parks in the US. Drove to each one of them. Parkinson's eventually took that from him too. Life with PD was tough for him and very upsetting to watch. If we could each take a small piece of his PD so he could have stayed with us a little bit longer, we would.
Jimmy Muñoz made us the best version of ourselves just by being around him. We miss him with all our hearts already. We love you dad!
