So my amazing Father Luis Esquivel Jr. passed away 5/18/24 at age 68. He lived a life full of connections with no strangers, a great grandpa, embraced his whole family, loved his gardening, Faith & GOD! He taught me so many great characteristics I will use & share with others! Love you forever Father.
My condolences to your family and friends. We met in a rough time in your life and shared some laughs and found a common thread that tied us together. It was a pleasure to meet you and to find that comfort for however short it was. I know God had a purpose in our meeting and I am thankful for God’s love and mysterious ways in bringing people together in our times of need.
My uncle Louis also known as Junior always make me laugh and think at the same time when we would talk. Growing up he was always the wild come up and pinch you or rub his knuckles all over your head type of uncle. I also enjoyed working with him down at Wildwood liquor store where we would just sit down sometimes and talk about life. I will miss you and I am glad you are with the Lord now !!!!
We are so very sorry to hear about Luis, I remember the days when he would call just to chat with Aden and ask him about school, life, etc. He always had a good sense of humor and tried to be there for family when he could despite his own circumstances. He is free of pain and with Jesus now, prayers and hugs for all who are missing him here on Earth.
Dear Tod (squirrel) and Aden, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father and grandfather. Be assured that you are in my prayers and hope you will have peace in your hearts.
My loving grandfather was always a source of wisdom to me. His constant support of my goals and interests is something I will always remember him for. I love you and I know heaven will serve you well.
You will be greatly missed. Condolences.
Dear Todd (squirrel) and Aden, very sorry for the loss of your dad. I remember him as being extremely friendly with a smile always on his face. Will continue to pray for you and your family as you grieve his passing. May he rest in peace in Jesus name.
Condolences to you and your family Tod. We’ll be praying for you all in this difficult time. May he rest in peace and may the Lord give you strength and understanding during this time in your life.
Louis was all about family. And he would help anyone anytime. I loved his sense of humor and the world is sadder and lonelier without him. I look forward to seeing him again, I know he is with our Lord.
Uncle Luis always knew how to make me laugh. Never have I met someone that was as passionate and excited about God. He will be missed.
My brother Louie was a great guy he had a big heart too. I remember he came to Texas during Christmas and my oldest daughter went to the mall with him and he bought her a big Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal, she was very happy. She still has her Winnie the Pooh. He is with the lord and no longer suffering. He will be missed. Love you brother.
Growing up next door to the Esquivels, our families were family; Luis and my dad Mike were good buddies for many years. Luis was dedicated to his family, had a joyful spirit and positive energy- and that unforgettable boisterous laugh! I am still trying to grow tomatoes as good as his. His faith in God was rock solid, and he was always looking up. Since he and dad are probably hanging out in heaven together, I’d like to think we’ll all be neighbors there as well. Much love to the family. ——Taylors
From Harman family you will be miss jr. I got some good memories with you. Ashton
God has gained a smiling angel! I am sending up prayers for comfort and blessings for the family as you mourn your loss. One thing I will always remember about Luis was his steadfast faith in God. And his eagerness to talk! I am thankful Luis is resting peacefully in God’s grace.
Tod & family, I’m so very sorry for all you you will be missing with your Dad’s, & Grandfather’s passing. True you have all your memories, but there will be days you will wish you could share with him. There will be all the opportunities he will miss that could have been better for him. These are the most difficult days to come. I wish God’s beeping you and give you strength to look for all the positives, in remembering what you learned from him. I hear for you if/when you want to talk.
