'Extra Special' Tampa Dad 'Strives To Protect And Support His Family'

TAMPA, FL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Tampa, meet Euclides.

If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly or thoughtful texts your way, you’re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting a smile on our faces — and this Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Vanity Duran who nominated Euclides of Tampa.

What makes your dad extra special?

My dad is extra special because he strives his very best to protect and support his daughters, family, siblings, friends, and community. He's the ultimate father figure who's stepped in to help me with my son. He advocates for me at the car dealership or anything for my home — which we know is very necessary for young women. He's a great supporter of my mother by having dinner ready whenever she comes home after a long day. Anybody who comes across my dad enjoys his company — any age, nationality, and occasion.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He's the epitome of a great dad and I want to spotlight him to return the way he always makes me feel like I'm in the spotlight.

Happy Father’s Day to Euclides, and thank you for all you do!
