Salvador Lujan Obituary

Salvador "BIZARE" Lujan
December 20, 1968 - January 29, 2013
Salvador was a friend, mentor, and artist by nature. He passed on at the early age of 44 leaving behind his father Samuel Julan Sr; step-mother Rebecca Cervantez; son Savior M. Rose; siblings: Serena Elizabeth Lujan, sister-in-law Darlene Lujan; step-sisters Miko Alcaraz and Dina Medina; nieces and nephews: Serena Eliza Montoya; Evaristo Montoya Jr.; Emilio Saul Montoya; Samuel Lujan III; Stephen A. and Sean A. Lujan; and great-nieces: Anabella Montoya; Eneliza, Sylene and Eneres Nava-Montoya.
Preceded in death by his Mother Sylvia Elizabeth Lujan & Brother Samuel Lujan Jr.
Salvador was born in San Jose, California. He was very interested at an early age in drawing and music. Much of his musical influence was his mother Sylvia. She had been a band leader and a singer.
His upbringing in San Jose led him to hang around a diverse crowd of people. He began to learn how to Pop and Break (forms of dancing), from friends and other dancers. One of his friends had told him, "Your moves are Bizare." This lead to him using the moniker "BIZARE." He started DJing around the age of 16 - 17 years old. All of these things led to the foundation for the vision he had, a close knit crew of friends that would motivate each other to express themselves though hip hop culture in all forms. Around this time he moved in with a friend. They would branch out and make connections with other like- minded people that loved these art forms. Salvador moved to Modesto in 1988 with his parents. He did not stay grounded too long though. He was a mover and a shaker and needed to create. He would bounce back and forth from San Jose to San Francisco and back to Modesto quite often. He lived in North Carolina for a few years, New York & Los Angeles for a few months but always found his way back to Modesto where his family lives. This is what eventually led to the Worldwide Legends of Rare Designs Crew. The impact Salvador made in the hip hop and graffiti art community has been testament to the passion he had for art and building relationships. He will be missed.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Franklin & Downs Funeral Home.

Sal...The Bizzy-Izzy-R....
It's been so long brother since I've seen you all...you, Sam, & Serena. I'm really late in finding your obituary online. I think about you guys all the time, and how your family gave me a place to stay when my life was so crazy. For that act of friendship, I will always be grateful. By reading this I see that Sam has passed on too. I am praying for you and Sam and your family's. I have nothing but fun memories of you and Sam Bro. Cruising Story and King, mobbing with all the homies, then being sad when Sam had to go back to Fort Ord on Sunday nights. May the Peace of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be upon you, Sam, and all of your family bro. I am truly saddened today. Not JUST because you're gone and Sam is gone...but mostly because I let life get in the way and not stay in touch with true friends...real brothers. I love you guys. Rest in God's Eternal Peace.
