Con profundo amor y tristeza, despedimos a Steve Oropeza, quien nació el 14 de noviembre de 1996 en El Paso, Texas, y falleció el 15 de noviembre de 2025 en su ciudad natal, a la edad de 29 años.
Su partida deja un gran vacío en el corazón de sus padres, Miguel A. Oropeza y María Oropeza, de su hermano Edward Oropeza, y de su inseparable perrita pug Chikis, quienes lo amaron inmensamente y hoy lo recuerdan con un profundo cariño.
Steve fue una alma llena de luz, talento y alegría, siempre tenia una sonrisa en su rostro. Desde joven mostró una gran pasión por la música; tocar la batería era su escape, su forma de expresarse y de compartir su energía con el mundo. Donde había ritmo, ahí estaba él.
Era una persona extremadamente amistosa, social y carismática. Tenía esa cualidad especial de hacer sentir bien a todos, de sacar sonrisas, de hacer amigos en cualquier lugar. Steve tenía muchos talentos, pero el más grande era su corazón noble y cariñoso, especialmente con su familia, a quienes adoraba y siempre ponía en primer lugar.
Para quienes lo conocieron, Steve no fue solo un hijo, un hermano o un amigo: fue una presencia luminosa, un espíritu alegre que llenaba cada espacio con vida. Su recuerdo vivirá para siempre en las risas que compartió, en la música que amaba y en el amor que dejó en cada uno de sus seres queridos.
Hoy lo despedimos con tristeza, pero también con gratitud por el hermoso tiempo que compartió con nosotros. Su luz nunca se apagará.
Que descanse en paz nuestro querido Steve Oropeza, siempre joven, siempre amado, siempre recordado.
With deep love and heavy hearts, we honor the life of Steve Oropeza, who was born on November 14, 1996, in El Paso, Texas, and passed away on November 15, 2025, in his hometown at the young age of 29.
His passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of his parents, Miguel A. Oropeza and María Oropeza, his brother Edward Oropeza, and his loyal little pug Chikis, who was an important part of his everyday joy and companionship. They loved him dearly and will forever hold him close in their memories.
Steve was a bright soul filled with talent, kindness, and an infectious joy. From a young age, he developed a deep passion for music-playing the drums was not just a hobby, but an extension of who he was. His rhythm, his energy, and his presence could bring life to any room.
He was extremely friendly, social, and charismatic. Steve had a natural gift for connecting with people, making friends wherever he went, and making everyone around him feel comfortable and welcomed. He had many talents, but his greatest one was his heart-warm, affectionate, and devoted, especially to his family whom he loved beyond measure.
To those who knew him, Steve was more than a son, a brother, or a friend; he was a light-someone whose laughter, energy, and kindness made the world a little brighter. His memory will forever live on in the music he loved, the smiles he inspired, and the love he left behind.
Though his time here was far too short, the impact he made will last a lifetime. His spirit, his warmth, and his beautiful soul will never be forgotten.
May he rest in peace, our beloved Steve Oropeza-forever young, forever loved, forever remembered.

I had the pleasure of meeting Steve through our musical community. As a fellow drummer myself, I can say Steve was a drumming force to be reckoned with and extremely talented. El Paso is a bit quieter now, but his drum will continue to beat in our hearts and souls. My deepest condolences go out to his family and his band... Saving Bandit. Peace and love to you all. Rest in peace Steve. - Jimmy Q.
