He was born in Danbury on July 26, 1999.
Bara-Bardo loved music and was an avid guitarist who had aspirations to attend music school. He loved the art of tattoos and spending time with friends. He was an "old soul" who often spoke in poetic terms and anyone who knew him could attest to his kind and gentle nature.
He not only illuminated the lives of those he touched, but he now shines on through his decision to donate life so others may live. Bara-Bardo gave the gift of life to others through his organ donation. He was one of only 30 organ donors a year through Yale-New Haven Hospital Donate Life Organization.
