Apolonio Esparza Reyes, 75, born on April 3, 1945, in Durango, Mexico, passed away February 12, 2021. He resided in Los Angeles, CA at the time of his passing. He was the oldest son of Apolonio Esparza Garcia and Angelina Reyes Rojas. He came to the United States to live the "American Dream." He was an adventurer, who didn't mind taking risks when the opportunity to reach his dreams was there. Him, along with his wife, worked together to provide for their children. It was a difficult struggle but amazing what they accomplished with no college education and on their own merit. He was a family man who loved to spoil his children in so many ways. He loved spending time with them; by taking them to the park, the beach, the movies, a restaurant, to the malls, or to downtown. He liked buying the latest toy/video game, and/or the popular CD/movie of that time, and/or buying an item that he knew his children would like. At home he enjoyed family time by watching movies, boxing fights, and by listening to music. A quick drive with his family, even around the block, made his day. Eating in family and with guests was very important to him even if they had to wait for those who were yet to arrive. He enjoyed going fishing with his wife and children and to stay at the pier until the next day. He truly loved his family being united and always together. He was a kind and noble man who would help others without asking for anything in return. He knew that at times he would not be appreciated. However, his good intentions and good heart was what counted for him and he never held a grudge towards nobody. He was never envious of others to the contrary he would be happy of the accomplishments and prosperity of everyone. He encouraged those who asked for his advice to keep on going to reach their dreams. He enjoyed an outdoor scenery since he loved the wonders and mysteries of nature. He liked animals a lot, especially dogs and birds, and his passion was music. During his spare time he would write songs/poems and he would make the beat to his lyrics. He had his own distinctive phrases that he was well known for and which his loved ones will never forget. He was a great host. He enjoyed the company of guests and family with great and interesting conversations, music and lots of laughter. He had a great sense of humor although when he needed to step his foot down he would do it, he did not like playing games, he was serious and he would keep his word. His lessons were for the good of his children, to keep them on the right track and to instill the moral and values that would prepare them for the future. His family is appreciative of everything of him, they learned a lot from him and his life experiences. They are proud of all of his accomplishments and they will carry on his name and blood with proudness. He is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and sons-in-laws and daughter in-law...He will always be loved and remembered as a great man, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and father-in-law who had a big heart. He will always be their hero, musician and poet. He was Unique.

El era el hijo mayor de Apolonio Esparza Garcia y Angelina Reyes Rojas. El vino a los Estados Unidos para vivir el "Sueno Americano." El fue un aventurero, que no le importaba tomar riesgos cuando la oportunidad de alcanzar sus suenos estaba ahi. El, al lado de su esposa, trabajaron juntos para proveer a sus hijos. Fue una lucha dificil pero asombrosa lo que lograron sin una educacion universitaria y por sus propios meritos. El era un hombre de familia que amaba consentir a sus hijos de varias maneras. Le encantaba disfrutar tiempo con ellos; llevandolos al parque, a la playa, al cine, a un restaurante, a los centros comerciales, o al centro. Le gustaba comprar el ultimo juguete de moda/video juego, y/o el álbum/CD/película del momento, y/o un articulo que el sabia que a sus hijos les gustaria. En casa el disfrutaba tiempo con su familia viendo peliculas, peleas de box, y escuchando música. Un recorrido rapido con su familia, aunque fuera a la vuelta de la cuadra, le alegraba el dia. Comiendo en familia y con invitados era muy importante para el aunque tuvieran que esperar a los que faltaban por llegar. El disfrutaba ir a pescar con su esposa y hijos y quedarse en el muelle hasta el siguiente dia. El realmente amaba a la familia siempre junta y unida. El fue un hombre amable y noble que ayudaba a los demas sin pedir nada a cambio. El sabia que a veces el no seria apreciado. Sin embargo sus buenas intenciones y buen corazon era lo que contaba para el y nunca le guardo rencor a nadie. El nunca fue envidioso de otros al contrario a el le daba felicidad los logros y prosperidad de todos. El animaria a quienes pidieran su consejo a seguir cumpliendo sus suenos. El disfrutaba de un paisaje al aire libre ya que a el le gustaba las maravillas y misterios de la naturaleza. A el le gustaban bastante los animales, en especial los perros y las aves, y su pasion era la musica. Durante su tiempo libre el escribia canciones/poemas y el creaba el ritmo a sus letras. El tenia sus propias distintivas frases por las que era bien conocido y que sus seres queridos nunca olvidaran. El fue un gran anfitrion. El disfrutaba de la compania de invitados y su familia con grandes y interesantes conversaciones, musica, y mucha alegria. El tenia un buen sentido del humor aunque cuando necesitaba poner el pie en el suelo lo hacia, el no andaba con juegos, hablaba en serio y cumplia su palabra. Sus lecciones fueron por el bien de sus hijos, para mantenerlos por el buen camino y para inculcarles la moral y valores que los prepararia para el futuro. Su familia aprecia todo de el, aprendieron mucho de el y de sus experiencias de vida. Ellos estan orgullosos de todos sus logros y ellos llevaran su nombre y su sangre con orgullo. Le sobrevive su esposa, hijos, nietos, bisnietos, yernos, y nuera...Siempre sera amado y recordado como un gran hombre, esposo, padre, abuelo, bisabuelo, y suegro de un gran corazon. El siempre sera para ellos su heroe, musico, y poeta. El era Unico.
