DAVY DIAZ Obituary

Davy Diaz, beloved father, brother and son passed away on May 11, 2013. He was a graduate of Riverside High School and a good friend to so many. His contagious smile and charming personality never failed to turn any affair into a party. Davy's sharp witted tongue and unrestrained humor were both insulting and endearing. His heart was always there, not only for his first loves in life--his children Sean and Bella, but for his family and friends. Never one to judge, he was always willing to listen and help in any way possible and oddly enough, his frankness seemed only to make others gravitate towards him even more. Davy was born on November 29, 1969 and grew to develop many lifelong friends with whom he shared his love of Raider football, Celtics basketball, beer, women and rockabilly music (not necessarily in that order). He lived in El Paso all of his life and spent most recent years living with his older brother with whom he was forced to engage in endless mind numbing hours of conversation from. (just kidding bro!) Davy was preceded in passing by his grandparents Jose and Rosa Chacon, and Paul and Bertha Diaz. He is survived by his children Sean Patrick and Isabella Mae Diaz; parents Abel and Olga Diaz, sisters, Betty Kilcrease and Olga Diaz Deslongchamps; brothers, Abel, Paul Henry, Joe, and Jerry Diaz; sister/aunt Blanca Rivera and husband Felix Rivera; sisters and brothers-in-law, Catherine Diaz, Gaby Orona, Kyle Kilcrease and Alfredo Muela; nieces, Nicolette and Madison Diaz, Kelsey and Amanda Kilcrease, Alyda Muela and Vivian Orona, nephews, Dustin, godson Johnny and Joshua Deslongchamps, Cameron, Jake and Aiden Diaz, and great-nephew Dexter Gonzalez as well as numerous loved uncles, aunts and cousins. Visitation will be from 4-9 pm with a Remembrance Service at Sunset Funeral Home-East at 7 pm Thursday, May 16, 2013, where all are welcome to join in sharing stories and memories of his eccentric escapades. You will live on in our hearts always and we will love and miss you dearly, "our beautiful chocolate man". Services entrusted to Sunset Funeral Home - East.

Davy and I met when we were in the third grade. I was a painfully shy little kid that wasn't too quick to talk, nor smile for that matter; but Davy (my beloved friend)...he was the complete opposite. Quick to smile and joke with a spark in his eye for life itself, he got me out of my shell, he got me to smile and laugh; in fact a good part of me today is directly the result of my friendship with Davy. Ever since-we were practically inseparable until our distractions from our new families and careers. I will always hold those childhood memories locked in my heart, I will always remember his gleaming smile, I will always love him as a brother, I will never forget him. My heart bleeds for our loss. To the Diaz family I thank you for allowing me to be his close friend. I thank you all for taking me in and tolerating my presence in your home. To the Diaz brothers, Able, Paul, Joe and Jerry; I always looked up to you guys in awe. You all have a sense of humor that is out of this freakin' world. I feel honored to have known you and to have been in your presence. To Mr. and Mrs. Diaz, especially you Mrs. Diaz, nothing that I or anybody could say help you in your bereavement. I still remember the time we all went for a walk around the neighborhood and somehow it was only you and I walking together, I learned a little bit about your history, I learned then a bit about your son Davy from a loving mother's perspective. It was then that I learned where Davy got his sense of humor, where that spark for life came from, I learned where that infectious and unique character came from. I can't imagine what pain you are going through. All I can and will do is to pray for you and your family. Pray that God may help assuage this pain. My Love and Condolences to you the Diaz family, my prayers are with you in these most difficult times.

Always and Forever,
Edbert Gil

First of all condolences to the entire family.

Davy,

My heart is very heavy as I write this. When I was told that you had passed, I was to say the least in shock. Even though it has been many years since we have seen each other, you were never far from my thoughts when I was in the neighborhood visiting family. As I began to process that you were gone, I had a flood of good, happy and fun memories that I had of you. I met you in Kindergarten and our friendship flourished throughout our school years. I specifically remember you always smiling and joking around. I think you were the one that used to take my money to get candy from Ms. Baird! You were the class clown and I will never forget the summers where a bunch of us kids would ride our bikes to TG&Y. You had the coolest "chopper" bike ever! Also we would play "kick the can" or hang out at Cowboy Park.You were one cool cat and I am blessed to have had you as my friend. My only regret is that we did not keep in touch. I see from reading your obiturary that you had two children. I bet they are wonderful children and they are proud to have you as their dad. I also read that you were a Raider's fan. Really? I guess we will have to talk about that when I see you in heaven one day. You know what? You were so blessed to have so many people love you but who could not? We were blessed to know you. This is not good-bye, but until I see you again.

Rest in peace my friend.

Love,
Lisa Medina
