Rafael Enriquez Obituary
Rafael "Ralphie" Martinez Enriquez was born March 16,1964 to Maria & Ralph Enriquez in Tulare, California. Rafael passed away May 3, 2020. Rafael attended Lincoln & Maple Elementary, Mulcahy Middle School & Tulare Western High School where he graduated in 1982. Throughout his childhood and school years Rafael was not only a bright student, he was an exceptional athlete having played baseball, football, Judo & Wrestling. While attending Tulare Western he met Alicia Gonzalez whom he married & had 3 beautiful children with. He was proud of his 3 children & loved them more than you could know. Rafael was a big San Fransisco 49er fan, always proud to support his team regardless of their record and listening to music was something he really enjoyed. His outgoing and friendly ways made it easy for him to talk to and meet new people both to share life experiences or just strike up a conversation. He was always quick to tell a joke he thought was funny just to make you laugh. He always had a smile on his face, one that will never be forgotten. This came easily for him as God was a part of his life, as was going to Church and reading his Bible. Rafael would help anyone with whatever he could as that was his giving nature. Rafael was preceded in death by his grandfather Rafael Enriquez Sr & grandparents Raymond & Anita Martinez. He is survived by his parents Ralph & Maria Enriquez, Grandmother Tomasa Enriquez, son Rafael Enriquez & wife Kayla, daughter Monique Enriquez & fiancé Kevin Hunt and daughter Makayla Enriquez. He is also survived by former wife Alicia Gonzales Enriquez, brother Ramon Enriquez, sisters Melissa Krohn & Toni Horton, numerous Aunts, Uncles, nieces, nephews & cousins. Rafael leaves behind 3 beautiful grandsons Landen, Benjamin & Connor. A celebration of Life honoring Rafael will be held at a future date to be announced.
