Rolando “Rene” Peña, husband, brother, father, grandfather was a wonderful man who has transitioned to heaven. Everyone that knew him loved him. At this time the family is in need of help with the final expenses and some other expenses which will occur due to the loss of his income to the family.

Any amount helps the family to be able to give him a proper send off and helps Michelle through this very hard time. As many of you know Michelle nearly lost her life to COVID19 and she has many lingering health issues. She will need all of us to give her continued support as she grieves the loss of her husband of 40 years.

You are able to give here, and receive a letter for a charitable donation upon request. You are also able to contact Buxton Funeral Home and pay any amount you choose toward his final expenses.

The link for payment at Buxton Funeral Home is: Payment Center | Buxton Okeechobee Funeral Home and Crematory

Thank you for your consideration at this most difficult time.
