A Massachusetts teen has died unexpectedly.

According to a GoFundMe fundraiser, Brockton High senior, Omar Caisaguano Maisanche, tragically lost his life.

The teen left such an impression, that a faculty member created the fundraiser and several of his teachers have been sharing it on social media due to his parents not being able to afford his funeral.

Omar has been described as a sweet and hard-working young man who had big attainable dreams that will sadly not be fulfilled.

“Omar was a bright, kind, and loving soul who brought joy to his family, friends, and community. His absence will be felt in every corner of Brockton High School, where he was known not just as a student, but as a friend, and an inspiration to those around him. Full of Boxer Pride, Omar was an honor roll student who was college bound and had dreams of majoring in software engineering. Last year, he participated in a pre-college program through BHS and UMASS Boston, called Pathfinder. He also participated in BHS’s Early College Program, taking college classes at Massasoit while still in high school. Omar was integrally part of Latin American Student Organization (LASO), The Multicultural Club, and was a Language Ambassador for Brockton Public School’s Bilingual Department. Omar often gave back to his community by volunteering as a student language ambassador at District events and for the Parents’ Academy, using his multi-lingual superpower to make a positive impact on his community.”

Omar had been reported missing before his death.

An exact cause of death was not released.
