Andres Francisco Delgado-Altuna

In the early hours of Sunday, August 17, 2025, Andres Francisco Delgado-Altuna, 34, departed this world, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew him.

Andres was born on October 7, 1990, in Cuenca, Ecuador. From childhood, he displayed an insatiable curiosity and an adventurous spirit that led him to explore many passions, including music, painting, and sports. His talent was brought to life in beautiful drawings and murals that adorned the walls of his family home. Each stroke carried a piece of his soul, and his art will forever be remembered with affection and admiration.

His love for nature and animals reflected his deeply sensitive heart. His family will never forget the many stray dogs he brought home as a boy. His free spirit was always visible in the way he dressed, perfectly complementing his guitar and bongo. He will always be remembered for the essence of his personality.

In this moment of farewell, Andres’s loved ones express their gratitude for the time they shared with him, for his music, and for his humor. They promise to always carry a part of his being within them.

“Rest in peace, beloved sukito. Your departure leaves an immense void within us, but your light will never fade, and your memory will live eternally in our hearts and minds,” his family said.

Andres is survived by his wife, Andrea Parra; his parents, Catalina Altuna, Jorge Delgado, and Marcelo Quizhpi; his siblings, Janina, Damián, and Neydelin; his brother-in-law, Jeremías Smaha; his nephew, Benjamín Lucían; along with his uncles, aunts, cousins, and many other relatives and friends who were dear to his heart.

With profound sorrow, the family invites the community to the visitation on Saturday, August 23, from 3 to 8 p.m., at Joseph F. Nardone Funeral Home, 414 Washington Street, Peekskill. Attendees are kindly asked to wear colorful clothing, avoiding black, as a symbol of the light and joy he shared with all.

Toya Will

Toya Desiree Will, age 54, of Peekskill, NY, passed away on August 14, 2025, at Hudson Valley Hospital. She was born on February 8, 1971, in Lehigh Valley, PA.

She is survived by her husband James Christopher Will (Jim), son James (Jas), brother Rodney Day, sister Dana Day, brother Jermaine Day, mother Sherry Day, and father Daniel Montgomery.

Toya was known for her honesty, empathy, and humor. Her laughter was contagious — starting with a pigeon mishap on her first date with Jim-and continuing through a lifetime of joy shared with family and friends. She loved playing cards, especially Spades, watching tennis, and enjoying episodes of “Two and a Half Men.” Even in winter, she insisted on wearing flip-flops.

She worked in admissions at Westchester Educational Opportunity Center, caring deeply for each applicant. Her earlier career in the music industry earned her gold and platinum awards for The Roots and Joss Stone. Toya was also a proud middle school spelling bee champion in Allentown.

Though quiet in her faith, Toya trusted in Jesus Christ and supported her son in his walk with the Lord. Her kindness and care reflected her love for God and people.

Toya will be remembered for her caring heart, honest spirit, and the joy she brought to every gathering. Her family is thankful for the love and support shown during this time of loss.

“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” –Psalm 34:18
