Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, 38, is among the construction workers who are presumed dead following the tragic bridge collapse, as confirmed by his brother Martin Suazo.
Originally hailing from Santa Bárbara in Honduras, Maynor Suazo moved to the United States 18 years ago in pursuit of a better life. He leaves behind a wife and two children - an 18-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.
Described by his brother Carlos Suazo Sandoval as a kind and joyful individual with a strong sense of vision, Maynor was one of eight siblings.
Despite the grim circumstances, the Suazo family continues to hold onto hope for a miracle. Carlos expressed their unwavering faith and belief in the possibility of a positive outcome, acknowledging the passage of time as their greatest adversary.
The family's primary concern at this moment is the recovery of Maynor's body. Once this crucial step is completed, they will address other pressing matters, such as the potential financial challenges that Maynor's family may encounter. Additionally, they face the difficult task of informing their 72-year-old mother in Honduras about the heartbreaking news.
If Maynor's body is located, the family intends to repatriate him to Honduras for his final resting place, as shared by Carlos Suazo.
