Hector Cesar Pedraza (Flako)
August 12, 2014 - December 30, 2025
Isaac Nicholas Pedraza, lovingly known as "Tortuga" or "Turtle Man," was a funny, creative, and adventurous 8-year-old with a heart full of curiosity. An artist at heart, Isaac loved expressing himself through creativity and imagination. He was playful, mischievous in the most loving way, and a true daredevil. Isaac never allowed anyone to stay upset-he wouldn't let people sit in a funk or a bad mood. No matter who it was, he was always quick to change it and bring a smile.
His contagious smile and silly faces could light up any room. He loved animals, swimming, and sports, and he was always on the move-wrestling, doing front flips or backflips wherever he was. It didn't matter the place or the moment; if Isaac was there, you knew it. He made sure his presence was felt, and his joy was shared with everyone around him. His spirit, energy, and love will forever live on in our hearts.
Hector Cesar Pedraza, lovingly known as "Flako," was a quiet, respectful, and athletic 11-year-old with a soft and caring heart. He had a calm presence and a strength that spoke without words. Hector loved animals and enjoyed spending time riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers, swimming, and watching fireworks light up the sky. His big brown eyes never failed to capture attention-they reflected the kindness and love he carried within him.
Hector was as handsome as could be and had a gentle soul. Above all, he was the best big brother to his little brother-protective, loving, and always there. His love, guidance, and quiet strength will forever be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.
Isaac Nicholas Pedraza and Hector Cesar Pedraza are survived by their loving parents, Elizabeth Olvera and Hector Pedraza. They are also lovingly remembered by their grandparents: Guillermina Garcia, Sergio Olvera, Maria Enriqueta Agundiz, and Flavio Pedraza.

Dear Tortuga and Flako,
We thank God for the loving memories you brought into our family. You taught us how to love deeply and how to cherish every moment we shared together. You were the life of our cousins' crew-the ones who always made us laugh, smile, and feel happy. You never allowed anyone to stay upset, angry, or feel alone. Your presence brought comfort, joy, and so much love to all of us.
You will be deeply missed, and we love you both more than words can ever express. May God wrap you in His arms, grant you eternal rest, and surround you with perfect peace. We ask that you continue to watch over us and protect our family from above. Your parents will forever love you, and your cousins will forever carry you in our hearts.
Your names will live on through the love, laughter, and memories you left behind. Please don't forget to come show us signs from time to time-little reminders that you're still near. And don't forget to be a little traviesos with Grandpa Lavo. We will miss you dearly. Now go and rest, our beautiful babies.
