Dear Friends of Ventano,

We are writing you today with some very sad and heart wrenching news about one of our beloved team members, David De Anda Chavez. Although you may not have met David, he has played a large role in the quality, taste and presentation of your Ventano meals as a chef with us for the past 3 years.

Last weekend, David requested a couple days off to take a family trip to California. David, his wife Luz, daughter, Sonya and son, Jesus were going to celebrate a family members birthday. As they headed south on I-15, David attempted to maintain control of the SUV after a tire blowout and was able to manage to avoid a collision with other cars by steering toward the shoulder of the road. None the less, the vehicle rolled several times and landed on its wheels nearly 200 feet from the Interstate.

David and his wife, who is pregnant with their 3rd child, were ?own to UMC for treatment and have survived the crash, as has the unborn baby. The couple's 15 year-old daughter, Sonya, and 6 year-old son, Jesus, tragically did not. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.

It is unimaginable to all of us here at Ventano what David and his family must be going through with the loss of their children! In addition to their own physical injuries, they must also now prepare for the care of their infant.

Ventano is prepared to assist David's family with the ?nancial struggle that is inevitable in this circumstance. We are asking that you, as a loyal Ventano customer, do the same. In lieu of ?owers or gifts, we have set up an account into which you may deposit your donation toward the costs of the children's funeral services and the baby's needs.

For Deposit Information direct into bank or if you would prefer to drop off to Ventano directly. Please do not address checks to Ventano.
