Sorry I´m posting this late...Your brother Erik had family and friends over to celebrate your 50th birthday on March 7th. I was so proud when he told me he wanted to throw you a party. This was his gift to you, bringing family together in YOUR honor, remembering YOU. He misses you so much, we all do! As we celebrated your special day here on earth, I´m sure you celebrated with family in heaven, with your DJ skills behind the turntables .
Happy 50th Birthday in heaven mijo! We miss you, we love you. ALWAYS in our hearts and FOREVER on our minds. Breathe

17 years...not a day has gone by that I have not felt you in my heart, thought of you, seen you picture on the wall. Not a day has gone by that I have not wished you were here and imagined how our lives would have been if you were still here. Not a day has gone by that I have not missed you...LOVED you. We are connected in a special way, a bond not even death can destroy. Forever my son you will be. God Bless you always and forever.
Love, Mom. (Go Dodgers...please put in a good word for a Dodger win tomorrow!)

What's up Blu, thanks for being a good friend and inspiring me to make my own music. As a fellow Dj, you had good rhythm when you scratched and you're mixes we're on point everytime. Glad to get the chance to know you in this life and I'll see you when I get there. Peace.

Happy 43rd Birthday Louie!! Too many Birthdays have passed without you. I miss you every single day, but today, just a little more. Sweet memories of all your birthday celebrations, your 1st one was on your baptism day with all the family at Shamel Park, your last birthday at Pinnacle Peak shared with all the March birthdays. I hope you have your own special celebration today, with you playing some awesome beats at the turntables, with your grandpas, grandma, uncles, cousins, Nino, and all family and friends who have joined you in heaven. I love you always and forever and to the max!❤❤ May God continue to embrace you in His loving arms.

I love you more than the sun and tha stars...I love you yesterday and today and tomorrow..,.I love you more!
Ten years....time has stood still for me in a lot of ways. Yet, I look at the date on the calendar and can hardly believe it's been ten years. I feel you in my heart everyday, look at your pictures everyday and pray for you everyday. We talk about you everyday...."remember when Louie ..." or "Louie would like this"... or "that was Louie's favorite...". So maybe that is why I feel you are still with us. I don't want to remember the day you died, I just want to remember YOU.
I love you ❤ Louie, always have and always will.
Rest In Peace my son. You are safe in God's embrace.

I miss you so much Louie. Not just today, but everyday. But today is just a little harder. 9 years...9 months...9 seconds is a concept of time that grief does not comprehend. Know that you are in my heart and soul everyday...forever and always.
"I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be"

To the parents of Mr. Louie Romero,
Louie was my first teacher I encountered in junior high. I had class with him twice a day for my seventh grade year. Zero period reading and 5th period for language arts. He was so charismatic and fun he seemed to cool to be a teacher. I've had very few teachers like him in my life. He genuinely cared that the kids were learning the material and would really help them understand if they didn't. I had a great respect for him even at that age I always appreciated how he looked out for us. I was lucky enough to work along side him as a tutor for the AVID program years later. Even then, which would have been 7 years later, he was still teaching with that same fire and passion I remembered he had when I was his student. I always thought to myself "wow these kids don't know how lucky they are that all of the things they are learning now will impact them for the rest of their lives." And it's true, even to this day I still remember lessons he taught me. It's amazing how you don't realize that some people you meet in life and the words they say will have a lasting effect on you. Mr. Romero was an awesome teacher and great mentor and I thought you should know that he really never will be forgotten. God bless you and your family.

Hey Louie,
Our family will never be the same without you and Carla around. I can't believe you are gone. Growing up, I always looked forward to seeing you and Paul at family gatherings. You were an inspiration and I wish you were here to talk to. I'd love to tell you about what I've been through these last 5 years. You always kept it real and I miss the good days. Gone but never forgotten...take care.
October 19, 2012
My teaching is a tribute to so many in our family, and obviously you! Thank you for being by my side when I am teaching.

my cousin louie, you are thought of and missed always. i tell my boys about you and how you have been there and helped so many students who genuinely write about how thankful they are to you. Although I have lived long distance for so many years, I loved how when we all met up again it was like I never left. Miss you and wanted to write this so it is known how much you are thought of. 2011 has been a very hard year for me and my boys. I have gone through a divorce with Elder and that was one of the hardest things i have ever done. Its still painful.. i hold strong and never act like I am still hurting but i am. love you always cousin...
December 26, 2011
The La Rue family has the fondest memories of Louie as a child. Full of laughter and love as he would spend so many nights at our house and the boys would build forts out of the couch pillows and play with the dogs and just "be boys". Good boys. He enriched our lives.
December 25, 2011
Merry Christmas, my son. This is the 4th Christmas without you. I know you are not alone as you celebrate Christmas in heaven with you grandpa's, grandma, cousins, uncle, nino, and other family and friends.
I miss you so much. Until the day we are re-united, you are forever in my heart.
Love always,

I just found this page. It's been a little over 4 years and it still hurts me to know he's no longer with us. I had Mr. Romero for 3 classes in 7th grade, he wasn't only the best teacher ever, he was a role model to us, he was our guide. I used to visit him everyday afterschool in 8th grade and every now and then when I went to Ramona. He was everybody's best friend. Mr. Romero helped me get through so many rough times, and always always always told me to be positive. I'm deeply saddened about his passing, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him and his advice. I visit him sometimes, take flowers to his grave. I miss you Blu! I wish you were still with us so you could make fun of me and tell me I'm so old on my birthday and call me "meanie". It's not the same visiting Sierra now, back then Mr. Smith already knew I'd ask for Mr. Romero so he'd say "mija, Mr. Romero's in his classroom". I'll never hear that again. I miss you Mr. Romero Rest in peace I'll see you again someday. To the family and friends, I'm so sorry for this great loss. We Love You Blu! You're very much alive.

Mr. Romero was my teacher in 98-99. I always remember him being the coolest teacher at school. That would be my answer if somebody were to ask me who was the best teacher at Sierra. I was 11-12 years old at that time. Now I'm 24 and barely hearing about this. My condolences go out to his family. RIP my friend.

10/19/10:
3 years...I don't know how I have made it this far. Maybe you've given me the strength to go on, because I never thought I could. I loved you the moment I knew you were a part of me, and that love will never end. I found the following poem that said it all:
The Cord
We are connected, my child and I,
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord that connected us 'till birth,
this cord can't be seen by anyone on earth.
This cord does its work, right from the start,
it bonds us together, attached at the heart.
I know that it’s there though no one can see,
the invisible cord, from my child to me.
The strength of this cord, it's hard to describe.
it can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord, man could create,
it withstands the tests, can hold any weight.
And though you are gone, not here with me,
the cord is still there, but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart, I am bruised....I am sore,
but this cord is my lifeline, as never before.
I am thankful that God connected this way,
a mother and a child, death can't take it away
Love always,
Mom

Mr. Romero was my teacher of my eighth grade yr. It is now three years later and he remains a big part of my life. He was not just my English teacher but he was a role model to myself as well to others. I looked up to him he was a down to earth person and always had a smile on his face. I always think about him and i will never forget about him and the person he was. I just want to send my Condolences to his family and let them know their in my thoughts and prayers.

A year ago on this sad day, God called your name and you answered Him. May God keep you safe in His loving arms. I've been reading some words your students wrote after your passing... you made such an impact, you probably didn't even realize that you made such a difference in their lives. You let them know someone cared and believed in them and inspired them to believe they could do whatever they set out to do. You made a difference in ALL our lives. You are so missed! Not a day goes by without thoughts of you. Take care of Grandpa. Until we meet again.
All my love, always and forever,
Mom.

Mr. Romero will be missed by all of his idols. My children Prizcilla, Angel, and Sebastian all attended Sierra Middle and knew him as the best D.J. ever. They still till this day talk about him and how much it hurts them to see him gone. I met Mr. Romero a few times for student conferences and he was a great teacher always looking out for the best interest of his students. I send my deepest symphathy from me and my kids for all your son, father, and friend did for us. We will miss you D.J. BLU.....

I work with Sandy @ AAA and did not know her son Louis. Sandy spoke highly of her children and especially her grandkids. She was beaming with excitement upon the arrival of the twins. My heart goes out to the family and friends. It appears from all of the people who attended the services, Louis was well loved and the family should take comfort in knowing what an impact he had on many people. He is in a better place although it may not seem that way. God knows best.

I knew Louie from OLPH and Notre Dame High School. I had just talked with him a few weeks ago at a training for GATE. It saddened me when I heard of his passing.
Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the funeral. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I knew Louie throughout elementary school at OLPH and at Notre Dame (it was nice to have him back after a brief stint at Ramona) but as many of us OLPHers know we were a close-knit group...how could we not be having the same 20 kids from 1st grade through 8th grade and at ND! Louie was one of the smartest kids in elementary and a good role-model even then! It saddens me to know that he is gone and that his family, friends, and students are in pain. May God bless you and may all your pain be eased. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I only met Louie recently through my son Oronde. Louie was the DJ at my granddaughter's first birthday. I went all through school with his dad Jerry and was a good friend of his Godfather Louie Carlos. From what I know of his dad, Louie had to be a great kid. My condolences to the Romero and Sierra Middle School Family.

We have lost a tremendous assest to this earthly world and Heaven has gained. We will forever remember you Mr. Romero and your legend will go on in all your current and former students. Good night sweet Prince and may you Rest in Peace in the Lord's Arms. (Parent of 2 former students and 1 current student)
