Saúl A. Escobar

In Loving Memory of Saul Antonio Escobar.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Saul, a beloved son, brother, and friend who left us far too soon at the age of 27. Saul was born on March 30th, 1997, in Lynwood, California, and spent his life bringing joy and laughter to those around him. 

He had a zest for life that was contagious, always seeking new adventures and cherishing the moments spent with loved ones. The biggest Longhorn Texan fan outside of Texas itself, you can almost still hear him saying, “Hook em b****!” Saul's dedication in supporting his volleyball girls on and off the court was like no other, cheering them on during the games or speaking up for them off the court will be remembered and missed by all. 

Saul was a devoted dog lover, so his employment at Wag’ en Tail Ranch in Kansas was a perfect fit. 

Saul is preceded in death by his brother, Ricky Pelayo; survived by his parents, mother, Haude I Pineda, father, Jose Escobar; his siblings, Carlos Roberto Pelayo of California, Eva Pelayo of Oregon, Adam Pelayo of California, Oscar Pelayo of Kansas, Nancy I Alfaro-Escobar of Kansas, and Jesus Danial Escobar of Kansas; as well as a plethora of nieces and nephews who loved him not only as an uncle but as their best friend, and a wide circle of friends and coworkers who will remember him for his kindhearted, talented, admired, unforgettable, fun-loving, funny, wonderful, and well loved spirit. 

He will be deeply missed but will forever remain in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear Saul. Your light will never fade.

A visitation will be held on Friday, October 25, 2024 from 5pm-9pm at Petersen Funeral Home, with Rosary at 5:30pm.
