“We all loved him no matter what and now he is safe, and healthy.

“Love you dad, happy Father’s Day everyone.”

Mr Ogaz’s close-knit family has come together with plans to support the five children after their father’s unexpected death on Saturday, September 3.

His sister, Amelie Ogaz Vilches, started a GoFundMe page to raise money for his funeral.

She said his beautiful children, Valentina, Enrique, 9, Isabella, 4, Indiana, 3, and Marli, 1, were devastated.

“Felipe was loved by all around him and devoted his time to his children and family,” his sister said.

“Felipe was a great friend, father and partner, and his family will live in his honour.

“The Ogaz family is now raising funds to give Felipe’s children the opportunity to say their last goodbyes.”

It is understood Mr Ogaz recently spent some time in custody before working as a removalist.

His sister said he had plans to start a local leather business.
