My sincere condolences to you all. May God give the comfort & strength during these difficult times.
I had the pleasure of meeting Luis Jr., while working together at Sun Community FCU. He was such a humble person, and always willing to help his co-workers in anyway possible. He was a very humble person, with a big heart as well as, a sense of humor. He always greeted you, with a big smile. May God continue to bless you always my friend.

Rest in peace brother! Even though I had not seen you in about 2 years, I frequently remembered the fun times we had in Mexicali and in the states. Aqui se te va extrañar mucho carnal; te doy gracias por la amistad que me brindaste, siempre muy alegre y con ganas de salir adelante, y siempre cuidando tu famlia y viendo por ellos! Gracias Indio, descansa en paz!

I still remember the day that Luis(Indio)took us to Mexicali to help the needy people. He gave them grocerys and help some with money for their bills.Making them a better Christmas. It was one of the most memorable day of my life.Those are the kind of things that he will be remember for - making people smile and bringing laughter in their lives.And while its going to be very difficult to think of this world without him,it is a happy thought knowing that wherever he is,he is only spreading happiness.God needs good people like you with him. rest in peace my beloved friend.

I will love you forever cousin! As long as my heart beats till my dying breath and then we will be together again just like when we were kids when the Lord reunites us all on that glorious day. You took a piece of my heart with you and I will be incomplete until that day. God give us strength to endure your absence and give the family comfort with Gods promises of being reunited again one day.
