Obituary of Enrique Espinoza
Words cannot describe the love we have for our son, Enrique Espinoza, born May 10th, 2004. At the young age of 18 years old, on Friday night, February 10th, 2023, he was suddenly taken from our lives by an intoxicated driver on his way home from Oregon State University. Enrique aspired to be an Air Force pilot and gain a degree in mechanical engineering while at OSU. He was an outstanding ROTC cadet and straight-A student.
Enrique loved traveling, his siblings and cars. You would find him playing with his younger siblings or fixing up his beautiful 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT.
Enrique was a young man of integrity, faith, and high moral character. He would greet you with a big smile, a strong handshake and offer to help with any project. Enrique will be greatly missed by his father and stepmother, Marco and Betsy Espinoza, his mother and step-father, Lydia and Jasper Trujillo, and his 4 siblings, Jesus Barreda, Marco, Eliana, and Giovanni Espinoza, as well as his true love, Amaya Carrillo. The world lost a good one and you will be forever missed.
All you wanted to do was fly, you are the sky now, watch over us. -Jesus Barreda We love you Ricky.
Please join us Thursday, February 16, 2023 at Venue 252 located at 252 Lawrence St., Eugene, OR 97401 for his service being held from 5:30-6:30pm with the reception following from 6:30-7:30pm.
