So very sad to see this. I have sent a friend request to him about 2 years ago...and let the twins know I was trying to contact him. If this reaches Terry Andy or Alex please let me know how you are all doing

I remember Louis growing up in Litchfield Park, Arizona. He and his brother Andy and Alex would play ditch em with my brother Todd and my sister Becky. We would have hours of fun on our dead end street playing games. May God rest his soul. I pray for his grieving family and I am so sorry for your loss.

Revelations 14:13
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.
Dear Louis, your good deeds have touched more than you know. God Bless your soul.
