Luis “Weegie” Adrian Ponce de Leon, age 42, entered into eternal rest on Thursday, July 31, 2025, in El Paso, Texas. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend and will be dearly missed. Luis’s faith, strength, and positive attitude will forever be honored by all who met him.
He had a passion for arts & crafts, music, sports, and spending quality time with his family and friends. Luis brought joy and warmth to every moment.
He is survived by his parents, Anthony and Dolores Ponce de Leon, as well as his siblings: Jaime A. Ponce de Leon, Marlina S. McGettrick (Karl), and Zachary A. Ponce de Leon. He also leaves behind many loving relatives and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
As his final act of generosity, Luis gave the gift of life through organ donation, continuing his legacy of love and compassion by helping others in need.
