The Hispanic entertainment world received a hard blow on the morning of Saturday, December 13, after AB Quintanilla confirmed the death of his father, Don Abraham Quintanilla, who was 86 years old.

Through a couple of videos, which I posted on his Instagram account in the early hours of Wednesday On December 24th, the brother of the late Selena Quintanilla went into detail about what happened to her father. In the first video, which he delivered entirely in English, AB Quintanilla emphasized the manner of Don Abraham Quintanilla's death, stating that he passed away in his sleep. "He left in his sleep, as many of us would like to. I hope and pray that he didn't suffer," he commented. He also stressed that he and his family will ensure that his father's last wishes are fulfilled, as he made them aware of how he wanted to pass away. "My father's wishes were not to have a funeral, so there will be no funeral. My father's wish was to be cremated," AB Quintanilla said in the video he uploaded at 5:00 am In the same video, he acknowledged that they still do not know the cause of his father's death. But he added that they will make them public as soon as they receive them, considering it their obligation to do so as public figures. In a second video, he emphasized that family comes first for them, and took the opportunity to shower his father with praise, describing him as a great man who will be greatly missed by everyone. He also stressed that, despite the difficult time they are going through as a family, this will not prevent him from resuming his activities on stage as soon as possible, as it is what makes him happiest and what makes his fans happy. “I love you guys so much, I'm going to be okay,” was how AB Quintanilla concluded his two videos, in which he appeared deeply moved, but eager to move forward.
