Fernando loved basketball, his PS5, and was pursuing his music career in which he earned the name "Lp Gotti." Other names, by whom he was affectionately referenced to, were "Pig" & "Peezy." Fernando had a smile that would light up any room. His smile genuinely complemented his character. More than anything; he loved his family, and was a loving father.
