Luis Wilson-Leon Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 13, 2016.
Luis Daniel Wilson-Leon, 37, was killed in the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He was there with his longtime partner, Jean Carlos Mendez Perez, who was also killed.

A friend from Wilson-Leon's native Puerto Rico posted a statement on Facebook that included, "A wonderful young man full of life, who endured countless days of bullying while growing up, by cruel people calling him all sorts of horrendous homophobic slurs. He was the first person on this earth I came out to, and he always protected and loved his friends. His strength and character was always an inspiration to all of us."

When I first came to America I worked with Luis. We were both the new peeps in town. He was such a sweet person and always considerate. Today I was going through some old papers in preperation for a move when I came across a card from some old friends. Luis' kind words were there and mean so much to me today. I wanted to this with you, his friends and family. Miss you Luis! - Karima
