Happy father's day dad,
God damn it I miss you. Just realized that I don't remember your voice any more. Can't wait for the day that I have children so I know how it feels to love someone as much as you loved Mathias, Anne, and I. I'm so greatful that you were in my life for as long as you were. Just wish that you were still here. Mom would be a lot happier. But its not your fault that you're gone. I love you so much dad.
Rest easy.

Rene Iaccopucci JR

Hey Dad, was just thinking about you today. I know I don't write here a lot. I feel like I should. I know you're still watching out for us. I miss you so much. I REALLY do. Things have started to look a little better though. I'm out on my own again with one of my best friends. Mathias looks great and he's living with Mom again. Mom's been hanging in there. You know how strong she is. She doesn't like to admit it though. Been super busy with work but I'm sure you already know how that is. I keep seeing you in my face when I look in the mirror. I love how I ended up looking a lot like you. It almost like I get to see you every day. Also doesn't hurt with the ladies. You always told me the men in our family had the problem of good looks haha. I love you so much Dad. I'll try to write here more.

Babe I cannot believe it's been 7 years since God called you. It's been a difficult journey without you. I miss you so much. My heart never stop hurting. I've been blessed by the people who've stood by me when I felt so alone. Phil has been such a true friend, he's been there protecting us and has done SO much work around the house, I mean improvements, repairs, yard stuff. He's taught me so much. He's been our protector, our hero. He misses you. He's been there for Rene JR, they are so cute when I see them talk, laughing. I thank God he sent him to us. I know you've been looking over us, thank you babe. Thank you for your true unconditional love. I'm so grateful for our years we had together and I'm so lucky I had my soulmate. I'm forever your wife and I will always have you in my heart. I love you SO much, my best friend, my lover, my husband. Blowing kisses to you up in heaven.

Love. WIFE

10/22/2010 SIX YEARS TODAY since God called you. Pam said God needed a soldier angel. I believe it. You are such a strong amazing father, husband, son, brother, uncle, friend, best friend and I was gifted to have you for over 26 years. If I could do it all over again with you I wouldn't change one second of our life together. I couldn't have made it this long if not for Rene JR, Mathias & Phil. Thank you babe for protecting us and saving me that day of car accident 12/28/14. I am trying SO hard to survive it, I've felt you push me to stay and take care of our boys. Thank you to Rene JR & Phil for taking care of me since car accident. Please help Mathias, please. I wish you were here SO bad but I don't get to have you. I call out to Rene JR "I want dad, why can't I have him", he is so amazingly strong. Thank you God for blessing me with my boys & my husband, soulmate, I am lucky to have LOVED & to be loved by such amazing man. Babe I almost can't bear the pain of you being away from me. I haven't seen you in SIX YEARS. I forever am your wife & you my husband, soulmate, lover & best friend. You must be so proud of your kids. I love you 4EVER.

Your wife

Five years seems unreal to me. I was so lucky to have such a best friend, lover, husband & father of our kids. Our life together over 26+ years was amazing. I would relive every single second of it all over again and not change one thing but.....that i would get to have you tell well for rest of my life.

I try to go on but i guess i am the lucky one to have had IN LOVE every songle day of our lives together. So i say i have lived.

Rene jr a man now. He is strong inside and out. Strongest KID i ever saw and now a man. He has stood by my side since my Dec car accident that has devastated my body & my mind.

Thank you babe & angels for saving me Dec car accident (hit & run) that the doctors said i was lucky i lived. I thank you babe & the angels because Rene Jr still needs me.

I love you babe forever and i will forever be your wife till the day i go.

Thanks for watching over me, Rene Jr & Mathias

Love,
WIFE

Linda Iaccopucci

Babe I almost came to you on December 28,2014 but I think you know that because you saved me that day so I could take care of our Rene jr. He's journey into manhood. He's so amazing we are so gifted to be given such a beautiful child. He's been taking care of me.

My heart is finally open thank you for sending me messages through music. Thank for standing beside me when I teach our Rene jr life lessons through life's challenges especially through this one seeing his mom suffer through so much pain from the hit & run car accident. We both rage of anger but learn to let God handle it - they must face God on their judgement day.

Ty babe for the beautiful music and being by my side and watching over us. I love you 4Ever - always your LOVER

3 years 10/22/10. I still can't believe it. Rene JR graduated HS, Anne got married. Big events but you see it from above. I am so lucky to have had you for 26+ years. And to still be in love after all those years. Not everyone gets their soulmate or to be in love like we were. How much more lucky can one be? Well we were because we had Rene JR together. He's so strong just like you. Babe, I miss you with every breath I take, with every beat of my heart, with every single day of my life for the rest of my life. I know someday we will be together again, I glad to you it's only a moment that we've been apart. I am so glad you didn't have to bear this pain. You were too good of a person for that. You are so loved by many. What an amazing person, husband, father, uncle, friend. Always & Forever your babe...

Dearest Brother,

I can't believe it has been 2 years since you left us, Big Goofy. I miss you so much. You would be so proud of your kids. They are really wonderful.

And how about your Giants!! Yeah baby! I know you'll be watching the World Series with us.

Love you always,

Lia

October 22, 2012

Linda iaccopucci

The doctor answers thats like saying the Giants will win. Then he says to me "are the Giants going to win?" I respond "yes" he says what's the score going to be?" i say "7-5". That was 2 years ago. The Giants won 2010 world series. You were the angel in the outfield. I still struggle without you. Its hard raising our son by myself but I do it. I am clueless on stuff that needs to be done when it comes to outside house stuff but I figure it out. Its SO hard attending Rene JRs football games & wrestling by myself because you are not with me. I
try SO hard to be strong. I am SO glad you do not have to feel the pain I have because I'm not with you. I love you babe....for infinity....Linda

Linda Iaccopucci

Gonna be a year and a half tomorrow since you've been gone. Tonight our son's junior prom. I say you're missing all of this but I don't think you are. I think you're all around us but we just don't get to see it. We miss you being here. It's so unbearable at times. I can't wait to see you again but I know I gotta wait so I will. Rene JR needs me.

I'm glad you don't have to suffer this pain that I have without you. It's so huge.

Watch over Rene JR and send me some strength....I'm so tired...

Always your wife.....

February 27, 2012

Happy birthday! Wish you were here to celebrate and I wish you were for your annual birthday King's game. We will have a beer or two in your honor tonight! Love you xoxo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! LIA AND I ARE VISITING YOU TODAY LOVE YOU

February 27, 2012

Linda Iaccopucci

Happy Birthday babe. Wish you were here. I've learned so many things from your passing. About family. I'm so grateful for coming into your family. They taught me to help each other at any cost and so much love and clossness. Talk about close your family is tight. I love them like my own but they are my own. I know family and friends will get me through this. It's been hard on my family and friends because I'm so distant. I was told there are no rules. I just hope I don't lose either while I get through this. Love is unconditional so hopefully no one will take how I am personally. I think only a few really get what we meant to each other. That's why I'm having such a hard time.

Thank you for watching over us. Rene JR needs that. It hurts me even more that he doesn't have his dad. I am so grateful for Rene JR's football & wrestling coaches. Coach Don looks after him even though he is at new school. Coaches are my heros. Phil has been guided Rene JR and Gary. I thank them. Maybe you sent them.

Thank you angels, friends & family for helping us...

Yours forever babe....come to me in my dreams...

Your wife forever....Linda

February 13, 2012

Linda Iaccopucci

Happy Valentines day babe. Although it was just an ordinary day for us I thought I'd post something. Valentines day is a day to reconize love but we did't need to do that because we did that every day of our lives together.

I found the first card you ever gave me. It so happens to be a Valentines card. You always remembered the words. You always knew how many years we were together, you called me at least three times a day. You always told me you loved me more than anyone ever has. And that you love me more. I was the lucky one.

Here's what the card says:

A Valentine Poem (Kermit the frog on the front)
Roses are Red,
Frogs are green,
If you would be mine,
It would be really keen!

Love always Rene

I still don't believe. I try so hard to go on because I know that's what you would want. I would want that for you. But it is SO HARD.....we we're so connected, one flesh. So how am I suppose to do this?

I think about you every day. Happy Valentines day babe....

I love you for enternity....

your wife

Rene, I read your guestbook everytime there is a new entry, and wow, what a wonderful wife you have. You were loved so much and now her pain is so deep. I looked at our old Jr. High School yearbook the other day and there you were with your pudgy little cheeks and that smirk you always seemed to have. I always keep your family in my prayers and hope they find peace knowing you are the angel waiting for them and someday you will be together again.

How can it already be 1 year? I miss you like crazy. You would be so proud of what great kids, Anne, Rene Jr. & Mathias are. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about Linda, the kids & how all of the family & friends miss you. I love you, brother.

Rene Iaccopucci Jr.

I can't believe it's already been a year. This month has been hard for all of us. Mom has been taking it the hardest though. I've been taking care of her as much as I can. Her friends help her a lot too. It's still hard not having you here anymore. I still cry for you almost constantly. I wish I was as strong as you so I could take care of everyone and everything but I'm not. I still feel the pain of not having you here. People say that I'm starting to be just like you but I know that I'm far from getting there. I'm getting stronger, both mentally and physically. No matter how strong I get I still feel weak compared to you. You were the strongest toughest man I know. To mom and I you are superman. We always wonder how you did things. Like how you put everything in those rafters at the old house by yourself. To us that was unimaginable. We are still lost without you. My heart still aches as bad as it did a year ago. Mom still cries almost every day. It hurts to watch but I do everything I can to make her feel better. I would do anything to have you back for one day. So I could tell you everything that's on my mind. So I could ask you everything i need to know. So I could see you again with a smile on your face. So I could hear your laugh again. So I could just be in your presence again. But I would throw it all away for you to have that day with mom instead. She deserves you more than I do. But I know that would be just a good dream. I know you're not coming back. But I know that you're watching over us and protecting us. Just like how you did when you were still here. You are the greatest person I ever met and know. I love you so much dad. I always will. We all miss you so much. Oh, and the las time I checked there are 117 entrees. Prett cool how your favorite number is in it. #17 There's not a single day that passes that I don't think about you dad. I'm glad we finally got your headstone on your grave. It gives me so much peace seeing it. I've dedicated my whole athletic career to you. Not just one sport or season. All of them. I think that you mean too much to me to be restricted to one thing. You are the most influential person in my life and I inspire to be just like you one day. I owe everything to you and mom for making me the man I am today. I thank you for being a part of my life. I hope one day I will pass on our name to the next generation. I'm proud to have your name as my own. I'm proud to be your son.
I love you dad

October 22 one year ago God called you to heaven. Still unbelieveable to me. I still don't accept. I re-live it all over every day that you're gone. I am thankful the 26+ years we had and SO lucky I had my soulmate. Everyone doesn't EVER get that...Rene JR has grown into a very handsome young man but I think you already know that. Thank you for our beautiful life. What an amazing person you are. I can't wait till we meet in heaven. I know you are counting on me to take care of Rene JR....and I will....thank you for looking after us and thank you angel Michelle for looking after us...thank you angels. The last year has been SO HARD...I thank my friends and family for not giving up on me...and giving me strength....I love you SO much babe for enternity.....RIP babe.....

God Bless you, Linda and Rene Jr.! I always think of you...both of you...and how it must be without the love of your life...here for you to touch and love...and I am so saddened all over again. Next month, on 11/16/11, it will be a year with my mom gone...I know, it's NOTHING like what you're going thru, but it's amazing, isn't it? A whole year has gone by already! Remember what I said in my last entry...Rene will be with you always...and forever! You betcha! I hope this next year brings you all the memories of all the wonderfuls things you two had and shared, but maybe...with a little less pain and a lot more knowing that he IS here with you, and you WILL be with him again someday.

Take care, my precious friend...God Loves you and He's taking good care of Rene! or visa versa! huh!??

October 17 one year since I spoke to my soulmate my best friend my husband. I don't accept you're gone. I am numb I don't feel anything even when I get hurt. I don't think I EVER will accept. I know I'm suppose too...it's tearing me apart. I don't believe you're gone and every single day I re-live my loss. I have never cried so much in my life. They say it's okay to cry, it's a sign of your love. It must be true cuz I cry every single day....Rene JR is so strong just like you. He looks and acts like you more and more...he has accepted and I'm glad he has some peace. I wish for peace. Thank you angels for watching over us this past year. Thank You Jesus for getting me through the day. Thank you for my great family and freinds......I love you for enternity. I can't wait to see you in heaven when we meet again.....

My dear, sweet friend, Linda, (and of course Rene Jr.)...My heart aches every time I think of you and read this guest book...for I KNOW of the great love that exists between you all. It was always SO obvious! I can't believe he's gone either, and I can't tell you how much I wish it wasn't so. Linda, I pray for you every day that you find peace in your heart that you and Rene will be together again one day, and that you feel his presence in your heart, soul and being all day, every day. He IS always there..with you, you know. That's for sure; that's how deep your love is. We need to get together, dear friend, if for nothing else but to just cry together for our massive losses of this past year. I love you, girl...never forget that.

Happy Father's day babe. It's unbelievable that it's been eight months. I can't EVEN imagine how I am to go on without you. You were such a GREAT father to our son Rene JR. He is such a great kid. I'm am SO LUCKY to have had you as long as I did. It hurts me so bad sometimes when I look at Rene JR thinking he doesn't have his dad anymore. Only in spirit. I can't help it, it hurts. Thank you for our beautiful son. And our beautiful life. I miss you so much it hurts so bad...I can't feel anymore...I just wish you being gone was a nightmare and I'd just wake up...I love you so much...

Rene Iaccopucci Jr.

My heart aches every time I wake up at home without you here.It's hard to watch Mom cry when she thinks of you. I miss getting picked up from school. I miss getting driven around by you. Watching sports just isn't fun without you cheering or yelling at the T.V. Family functions aren't fun anymore without hearing you talk and laugh. I wish you could've been able to teach me more things in the time we had. I miss you more than anything in the world. We all love you Dad.

Your loving son,
Rene Jr.
P.S. Go Giants!

Anyone who crossed their path could not only see the love between Rene and his "babe", Linda, but could also feel it, that in itself is such a beautiful gift.

Not a day goes by that my heart does not ache for her. I can see it in her face, hear it in her voice and even read it in her texts, the sadness and heartbreak she is going thru every second of every minute that fills the day. Although she is going thru the motions to resume "living"...there is always a constant reminder of the tragic loss she has endured. A loss that can only be understood when your one true love, your soulmate... is gone. A loss that is to most...unimaginable.

As the sun still rises and everyones life seems to carry on, it feels as though the pain will be endless, but as cliche as it may sound, please know that... time DOES heal. It will never erase the hurt, the pain or the loss of a loved one, but... it will eventually ease it.

For the blessed ones who know Linda, remember to keep her and the family in your thoughts and prayers.

God has recruited an extra beautiful angel to watch over us all.

We celebrated your birthday under that beautiful tree. And guess what my spot at Saint Mary's is in view of yours! I didn't realize it til I was having a Bud Light and jello-shot there.Today was the first time I have been able to read these all the way thru. I love and miss you so much,

The day you left us it was the first rain of the season. We got so much rain this winter I know you had something to do with it because you know how much I love the rain. It could also be the angels are crying for us because they are sad that we lost such an amazing person. Soon it will be another season, another month you've been gone. Each day I wake up, I don't even know what day it is, I just know you are gone. Rene JR is amazing. I am so glad we have him, he is a part of you. Almost five months now. How do I DO THIS??? Thank you for the signs you've sent, the tree leaves falling when there was no wind and the star that moved when I was crying and said "why can't I feel you". BABE...BABE....I miss you...my heart is so HEAVY.....I almost can't feel anymore......I love you......

Your wife always and forever.....

I knew Rene back in school and he was always such a delight to be around. He never had anything short of a great smile for everyone he met. He had such a big heart and it is so nice to see by reading all of these woderful things, that he never changed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. You were truly blessed as we all were.

Happy Birthday Dearest Brother,

I meant to do this yesterday but time got away from me. We had a party for you yesterday under the shadly tree. St. Mary's get ready for the Iaccopuccis, ha ha ha. We had some sips of Bud Light, Jack and Coke and Judy made Jell-o shots. Not the same without you, Rene. Miss you so much Big Goofy.

Forever in my Heart,

Linda Iaccopucci

Happy Birthday Babe. I still can't believe you're not here with me. It's un-imagineable. Unbearable. Half of me is GONE. I am SO grateful for the years we had together. How lucky were we. We knew it. Then God gave us a son. What a gift. I am thankful EVERYDAY for the years we had. It's more than what some have in a lifetime. You were perfect. A beautiful person. I look at your pictures and you look so happy. Thank you, you made me so happy. Rene JR and Mathias are saving me. I couldn't make it without them. At first all I could think of is being with you in heaven. I know you are counting on my to take care of Rene JR. So I slow down now. Each day is SO HARD. Thank you Jesus for getting me through the day. JOHN:14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you...Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"....The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.....I LOVE YOU BABE....ALWAYS AND FOREVER...

Today is a special day for love. As a child we go to school hoping to give and receive Valentines as gestures of friendship, love, and thoughtfulness. In our later years we hope to share our love with a partner. Sometimes we are lucky enough to have someone to love and sometimes we float on the love of our friends and family. Every Valentines Day without fail, boyfriend or not, I’d answer a call from my dad: “Hey little girl, happy Valentines Day. I love you.” Such treasured words to me.

I didn't think I would be able to do this. I still haven't been able to read all the way through these yet. Yuor my baby brother and I miss you so much. The other day I was picking mom at the senior center and I was thinking I wasn't going to see you driving by, smiling and waving when we passed each other. Guess what I did I drove by the center and drove almost all the way to Bridgeford when I realized I forgot to pick mom up! I could hear and see you laughing at me! I called Lia and told her I could hear you making fun of me! I just sat and cried. I pray I will always be able to hear your laughter,feel your kiss on my cheek and see your face.
I love and miss you,
Judy

My one and only brother,

I can't believe it's already been a month since you left us. Big Goofy, I miss you so much. I still can't believe you are gone. I think about you during the day and try not to be too sad. I close my eyes at night and see your face.

My heart aches for Linda, Anne, Rene Jr., Mathias, Mom, Judy, Carla, Erin, Casey, Courtney, myself and the rest of our family and friends. How are we going to get along without you?

I love you, Hula and miss you more then you could ever know.

I miss and love you, Uncle.

To the Iaccopucci Family: My deepest and
heartfelt sympathies. Rene was such a
joy to work with at Raley Field. He always had an upbeat personality and you could tease and kid with him. He was well respected and liked by all his fellow employees at Raley Field. Everyone thought only the best of him. He will be greatly missed and future
R. Cats Seasons will not be the same
without his presence at Raley Field.
May God some how ease our sorrow at
this time of loss by the loving
memories that Rene created as our friend. May God bless the Iaccopucci
Family in their time of soorow.

My dearest Linda (and family),

I could not believe my ears when I heard about Rene. I am SO deeply and sincerely saddened, to the core of my being, for your massive loss. Rene was such a wonderful person to know. You and he together are so much fun to be around... and together you were absolutely crazy perfect! All the positive energy, the laughter and the fun! I can't believe that I'll never see the two of you come into our bar for one of my jewelry parties, or that I'll never get to play golf with you both again, OR hear "nnnnn nnnnn nnnnn nnnnn" just before Rene putted the ball in the hole... =)

I'm very upset that I heard about this so late I was unable to be there for you...to comfort, support and assist you during this painful tragedy, as well as not being able to attend any of the services. My heart severely aches for you and your family. Please know, dear sweet Linda, that I am here for you, my friend, whenever you need. And always remember that because of your deep and true love connection, Rene will forever and ever be with you in your heart and soul...because....... HE'S STRONG LIKE BULL!!!

My sincerest and heartfelt sympathies are with you and your family now and forever.

God Bless you all, with much love and friendship,

October 28, 2010

You will never be forgotten here at DMV.. and will always be missed. You were such a fun, and caring guy! My condolences go out to the Iaccopucci Family... RIP. RENE - Kassy

Renee Roberts

Rene was a great co-worker at Raley Field, and a good friend. He never failed to make sure everyone around him smiled and had fun. It was an honor and a privilege to work with him. With a similar name, yet very different pronunciation, it was always fun to see new people get the pronunciation of his name wrong, and watch him very politely correct them.

My sincere condolences to all of his family and friends. I will miss you Rene. It won't be the same out there without you.

Carla & Lia and the Iaccopucci family -- my condolences to you on the loss of such a special person -- we had a good time growing up in Northgate. I hope you find that strength to get through this very difficult time -- Melinda Machado Hatano

I was shocked and saddened to hear about your terrible loss. Rene was always cheerful with greetings in the DMV hallway and helpful in coordinating dock issues. He will be missed by me and my staff at DMV. You two seemed to be such a wonderful team and so happy together. Rene often spoke of you with such fondness and caring. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very tough time.

Rene's family; Linda, Anne, Mathias, and Rene Jr.; thank you for sharing him with us. I met him at Raley Field, called him by the feminine version. He corrected me, then he said my name wrong, I corrected him and we became friends. He looked out for me at Raley Field...Always in the know...Always one step up on everyone and everything...Love, Fun, and Laughter …that's Rene...I'll miss him and his moustache...But thank you for giving him to us. I love the guy... what a special person.
