Jaime Loya

Uncle Jaime,
I still find it hard to believe you are gone. I miss hearing your voice and I miss seeing your pictures on fb of all the adventures you and Aunt Martha would go on. You will always be in my heart. I love you!!
Vero.

I'll never forget being The flower girl in your wedding! I remember taking pictures at the park(right?).... may god continue to give you strength.

Here we are on our wedding day May 9, 1987. In this picture we were at Penn Park in Whittier, CA. I can remember that Saturday morning I had so much peace and I was so very calm while I was getting ready for our wedding. I knew I was making the right decision. We were so happy to be married.

My Uncle Jaime was always the kind of person that could get me to laugh (at least on the inside). Growing up he always seemed to treat me as more than just a kid. He treated me (and probably others) as people. Young people, but people. If we were talking he would help me to solidify my thoughts and beliefs and he made sure to challenge them whether he agreed or not. I guess in this way he would make sure that I was able to articulate and defend whatever it was that I believed. Even though we (admittedly) didn't talk a lot, the times we did have helped to shape me to be the person I am today. And like him, I think we should all try to treat others with respect and to not treat them as beneath us or not worthy of our serious attention.

My memories of Jaime, The first one was at their wedding.I pronounce Mr & Mrs Padilla. Oh the gasp you heard through the whole church and then the laughter.I was in total shock and then looking at his face and him laughing.

He always and I mean always razzed me about being a Oakland Raiders fan.

Just the times I got to spend with Jaime, Martha and their children when me and my children went to visit on our 2 month summer vacations back in the 90's. Always so so so welcoming.

Two year's ago going out to Arizona and visiting with Jaime and Martha. Walking around the town square and telling us all about it. We had some good laughs and a wonderful time with Jaime and Martha. So wish we could've spent more time visiting.

Jaime, you my friend are Loved and are going to be So So So Missed.

Jamie was invited to Crown of Glory Church by his friend Mike and there is where I met him. At that time some how I had become singles coordinator for the church. So many times all of us singles would go out as a group to go eat then to my home. Sometimes we would have barbecues or even just go for drive as a group. We would just say let's go here and we were on our way lol Jaime used to make me laugh because if we were out on a drive and he was hungry he would get mad or if you was tired he will get mad LOL So we needed to make sure he Was rested and fed So that we could enjoy the Happy Loya. I remember our talks I remember him saying he only wanted one or two children at the most because he wanted to provide well for them. I remember how much he Loved him Mom I remember his little white truck that had a camper shell on it. I remember singles retreat and all the laughs. No matter how many years passed I always remember his birthday and always will A friend is a gift in our life and the time we share here on this earth is special. I heard a saying today Love is painful Christ died in pain so that we might live with Him forever. I know how much pain you , your children, family and friends are having. We must walk through it but we do not walk alone Because we have a God Who's Love is beyond what we could imagine . It's hard to say good bye for now to our Loved ones. But one day we will see Jamie again and O what joy. ❤ Jamie was always full of life and I know he would want to enjoy your time that God has given you. To make the most of it to see the beauty that is all around us. Love you Loya family and you are in our prayers

I will remember him as being kind, very welcoming, helpful and very joyous. He was always filled with laughter and had a smile on his face. There was no doubt that he had a big heart, especially for his family, full of unconditional love for my dear friend Martha.

What a precious family you have. Such a joy to know and have confidence that Jaime is perfect and strong again, and will again, one day, see his beloveds. So glad we have that hope in Jesus. We know that His ways are not our ways ...

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." -Isaiah 55:8-9

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." -1 Corinthians 2:9

Glad to have known Jaime, and to know that he had such a amazing experience while here ... with his beloved family-a loving and stunningly beautiful wife (inside and out), a fabulous son and daughter, and even his precious grandbabies ... and he also has unsurpassed love NOW! He IS blessed. Love to all, Dayna

The good memories I have of you, Uncle are too many to count. In the past few weeks I have been thinking about the times we spent together over the past few years. I keep coming back to thoughts of you at Amarah's 2nd birthday party. I was so thankful that you and Auntie and Natalie and Alana were able to be there. You were always at every party and family gathering whenever you could be. At Amarah's party, Natalie was so pregnant & she fell and twisted her ankle. I remember you guys had just arrived and were making trips back and forth to the car. I looked out the door and saw you and Nat sitting on the steps in my parent's front yard. Before I realized what had happened, I thought for a moment that you and Nat were just sitting together talking... it's because you always stayed so calm and collected and handled every situation, even the scary or tough ones with so much calm, poise and thoughtfulness. You ALWAYS took care of your family amazingly. In every circumstance. That fact about you is one of my strongest rememberences of you. That day you also ran to the grocery store for us to get some more ice when we needed it... You were ALWAYS happily willing to help and do whatever needed to be done. I will always love and appreciate that the Lord gave you to me as my Uncle. You hold a very special place in my heart. Until we meet again, Uncle I will always hold on to the special memories I have of you.

So sorry for your loss my friend. I never met your hubby but the way you talk about him your eyes lighted up and you look like a teenager talking about her first love. Love ya and my prayers are with you all the time.

Jaime, we were introduced at Crown of Glory church I was 18 and you were 22. You definitely stole my heart. I'll never forget the first time we met, you always dressed so nicely and you looked so very handsome. Pastor Nick set us up and we went to the Church Christmas dinner in 1984, he then started calling us "Chulo and Chula." From that day on we started dating and then became Mr. and Mrs. Padilla on May 9, 1987. (pastor nick accidentally pronounced us that way on our wedding day, he kidded around so much he really said it) we are truly Mr. And Mrs. Jaime Loya. I'll never forget our first home we bought together, we were so happy to fix it up and get our nursery together. We painted everything and Natalie's furniture was all White. Jaime you made everything better and beautiful. You truly turned that little home into a gem and every home we bought you made it beautiful. You also took such great care of your mom made her place beautiful too. Your care for the lawns so well done. Though most importantly you cared for your family with such great care. God gave you wisdom on how to care for your family and be patient with us all. You even were Natalie and Jonathan's baseball coach. We had such nice days at the baseball field with Natalie and Jonathan. You lived life to the fullest taking me on an Alaskan cruise, which was amazing. You knew how to enjoy life. Thank you for teaching me so much in life, you truly richly blessed my life with love, happiness and patience. We shared so much together, wish we could share many more years together. I loved hearing all about you and your dad spending time Together collecting material to make blankets.
I loved hiking with you down Iron Kings Trail in Az. All the wild life we have seen together deer and antílope. We have had a wonderful life full of adventure. I love you and miss you so very much. Thank you for taking me along on your beautiful journey. I wish you were still here and we were still together. You are greatly missed.

Jaime, I will always treasure the memories I have of you. From church, going out to eat, Dodger games, working on cars, barbecues, etc. Even if we were miles apart, I was happy to hear how well you & the family were doing. I have to admit I was pretty sad at work & others asked me if I was okay. Just had to tell the no. It wasn't until a co-worker told me that God needed you to help build our kingdom, how about that!? That made me smile again! So until we meet again, give Jesus a hug for us.

Love you my brother,

Damian & Terri Sifuentes

All people live, but not all live well. From my experiences with you, and from what I've heard from so many others, Jaime you lived well. You lived a fine life being an example of how to live life first by your faith in the redeeming work of Jesus Christ and by how you treated others. I was blessed by your quiet demeanor and your wise insight. You are and will continue to be missed by so many, but for the impact you had in my life, I will be ever grateful. Rest In peace now and we will see each other again in the great reunion in eternity with our Savior.

Jaime,
Thanks for moving across the street from me on Richvale Drive and being the best neighbors to myself and my mother. I have only good and happy memories of you and your loving family!! I feel blessed to have known you and spending the time we did together!! Your wisdom and words will be missed.
Love Marci and family! ❤

Dear Jaime,

We were blessed to have you in our lives for the time the Lord allowed. You were like a brother to Larry & me. We loved hanging out with you and Martha and I'm sad that the four of us will not be able to grow old together, but I know we will all see each other when we meet in Heaven.

Thank you for your generosity and for sharing your life with our family. We will always miss you. We love Martha, Natalie, Jonathan and your grandbabies, we are here for them. Rest in glory Jaime. I will see you in eternity with Jesus our Lord.

Him and the girls appreciate all the conversations and time spent with you, as I have. You will be forever in our heart ❤Uncle Jaime❤
