Rafael Alegria

With a heart-wrenching sorrow that settles deep within the soul, we announce the untimely passing of Rafael Alegria, a cherished son and brother whose vibrant life was abruptly extinguished too soon. Born on October 23, 2005, in the city of Denver, Colorado, Rafael’s journey, though brief, was marked by moments of promise and the unmistakable warmth he brought into every room he entered. This devastating loss from his residence in Denver, Colorado, where he passed on June 11, 2026. 

The ripples of grief swell around his family, especially his father, Reynald Landa, and his siblings who now carry the weight of this void. Alongside them, the memory of his mother, Lucia Zuñiga, whose own presence graced Rafael’s life but has since left this earthly realm, adds another layer to this tapestry of loss.

Rafael’s educational path led him to achieve his Associates Degree, a testament to his dedication and the dreams he held close. Those who knew him saw a young man brimming with potential, a beacon of hope rolled into the embrace of youth.

The silhouettes of sorrow will gather to honor Rafael's memory at a Funeral Service on June 27, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Romero Funeral Home-Aurora, located at 15150 E Iliff Ave, Aurora, CO 80014. It will be a time to reflect, to remember, and to hold tight the shards of joy he left behind in a world now a little dimmer without his light.

Though Rafael’s journey was cut unexpectedly short, the echo of his spirit endures in the hearts of those who loved him. His life, though fleeting, was a poignant reminder of the fragile beauty of our existence—and how deeply one soul can touch so many others in a brief turn beneath the sun.
