  • I was there that night night. it was the second week in a row a boxer got severly hurt in the ring. The week before in vegas a boxer slipped into a coma after fighting at mandalay bay the night before cotto vs pacquiao. God rest his sole. Protect his family and bless those who were fortunate to recieve his organs.

  • Great story, a time of tragedy in this family & yet they're able to give the gift of life to some very grateful people, hard to not bring tears to your eyes like alot of these e60 heart warming stroies.

  • Rip Paco! CHITOWN finest!

  • DANG DUDE!!!! I lost it at 13:26

  • Two days ago, I never heard the name Paco Rodriguez. Now it is a name I will never forget. Not only does he live on in the bodies of those he saved, but he will live on in the hearts & minds of those he never knew.

    God bless you Paco, and the entire Rodriguez family.

  • 1 Corinthians 13 and John 15:13 come to mind after viewing...

    This story pulls at the heartstrings and sends shockwaves of emotionally charged admiration as well as condolensces towards The Rodriguez Family and their ability to help fulfill multiple miracles in the lives of Others while simultaneously being impacted with the loss of one of their own *Francisco "Paco" Rodriguez*.

  • To Mr. Francisco "Paco" Rodriguez...May The Lord welcome you with Open Arms, May you soar amongst The Angels, May you smile upon your family, and May you rest in peace...in Jesus' name...Amen! And to The Rodriguez Family...Thank You so much for sharing your: Son, Brother, Husband, and Loving Father with the World. Truly a Heart of a Champion.

  • That touch my heart. I have already decided to be a donor, stories like these confirm that I'm making the right decision.wwjd...az
