We created this blog in order to share memories and stories of our dear friend Ignacio Celedon (aka Fito), who was killed in an attempted robbery early in the morning on Sunday, September 12th in South Berkeley. Fito led an amazing and enthusiastic life, and we invite everyone who knew him to contribute your memories and pictures. You can also find updates here on community meetings and links to news stories about his passing and the ongoing effort to bring his killers to justice.

Fito was from Chile, and since his death his family and his fiancee's family have spent a lot of money on travel back and forth between there and the Bay Area. We've created an opportunity for you to donate in order to help offset some of these costs.

-"I don’t know if it’s like a tree and the roots go down or if it’s the other way — that the roots get put in and the branches go up,” he said. “It’s about building community and saying yes when life cancels your vote."

-so sorry I couldnt be around to mourn with you

-we continue to pray that you and Fito find Peace, and Justice. Love and embrace eachother in the Now, visualize your Peace together and it will find you.

-Que el Pito te siga dando fuerza desde donde este (que seguro esta mejor que nosotros) ... Finalmente, es el legado que para mi me ha hecho mas sentido... Disfrutar esta vida, el hoy y el ahora..
