Patrick Hidalgo, a Miami-Dade political organizer and former President Obama appointee whose loved ones say he was dedicated to bridging the gap between the United States and Cuba, died this week in Miami.
Hidalgo, 41, died Monday of heart failure, his sister said on Facebook. Two days before, he spoke at an Elizabeth Warren campaign event in Miami.
Hidalgo first visited Cuba with his brother as a junior at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School. Hidalgo’s family came from Cuba and is related to Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.
