Angel,a true fearless Hero, you died doing your job, to protect and serve El Pasoans. Sweet, Angel faced Warrior you made sure that no one that drove on the I-10 on that fateful day was hurt. Now fallen Warrior keep watch over your brother and sisters in blue.
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Love your Life, beautify all things in your life.Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death,so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a Hero going home."

God Bless You and your family

To my sister; God blessed you with a beautiful child and him with you...thank you for sharing him with us. Though you were young and inexperienced, you did all the right things from the day he was born. He could not have asked for a better mom. He was your angel from heaven and you were his. To know Angel was to love him. He lit up a room with his beautiful smile. He brought so much joy into our lives...thank you from the bottom of my heart for making us a part of his life.

Angel was my daughter Clarissa's best friend. They went to school together, studied together and worked together also. He was always at our house. He was always helping my daughter with her car. She is devasted by his loss as we are also. Our hearts and love go out to his family during this hard time of loss. An Angel has been called to heaven, he will be watching out for us from above.

Angel, I still find it hard to believe that you are no longer among us physically but I know that you are watching over us. These last few days have been difficult for myself and the rest of the graveyard shift that welcomed you on your first day as one of us. I still rememeber your first day when you wanted to pay for our free coffee and how you asked for a black coffee with no cream or sugar (what young kid drinks their coffee straight black).I'll never forget the night you told me you couldnt wait to come back to graveyards. At least I know that you will be watching over us every single night as we venture out into something new hoping to always make it home at the end of the shift.I am heart broken and saddened that you had to pay the ultimate sacrifice at such a young age. May You Rest In Peace Angel and GOD give your family strength during this difficult time.

Mike and Elsa, please accept our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
God understands your broken heart. He, too, gave up a Son. He knows the pain of one lost child. He weeps with you, and you are one. When you talk to God each day, you also talk to your precious child. When you look to the sky to blow him kisses, and say, "See you, honey, in a while." You will make them smile.
May the sorrow you feel in your heart lighten by the love that surrounds you.
We love you and will always be here for you.
Your Godfather Gallo, Kenny, Claire & Kodi Hill, Tomas, Myrna, Savaanah & Sydnee.
