#### Final Farewell to Felipe Pavlovich in Tijuana
The city of Tijuana will soon bid farewell to the beloved Sonoran entrepreneur, Felipe Francisco Pavlovich del Razo. A commemorative mass is scheduled for Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 3 PM at San Francisco Javier Parish, located in the Juarez neighborhood. Felipe, a prominent figure in the culinary world, passed away at the age of 79 on February 2 due to heart complications and diabetes-related issues.
The family invites both the public and parishioners to join in celebrating Felipe’s life and legacy. However, attendees are advised to take precautions as the church has limited capacity and is situated on a busy street.
Felipe Pavlovich del Razo was the founder and owner of the iconic restaurant “El Rodeo,” which has been a staple on Agua Caliente Boulevard for 52 years, renowned for its menu that pays homage to Sonoran cuisine. His contributions to promoting gastronomy and tourism in Baja California are well-remembered, especially during his tenure as the president of the Chamber of the Restaurant and Condimented Foods Industry (CANIRAC) from 1990 to 1992.
Felipe’s health challenges began in 2023 after suffering a heart attack. By May 2024, he was in critical condition due to an infected leg, a complication made worse by his diabetes and heart issues, confining him to bed for the last two months of his life.
