Luis enjoyed going to church and practicing his faith. He was a family man and loved going to see his grandchildren’s sporting events and having cookouts with family and friends. He enjoyed being around people and his loud voice made him the center of attention. Luis loved taking his grandchildren fishing and to the beach. He immigrated to the US at a very young age and worked hard at the San Antonio railroad tracks. He spent many of his years as a taxi driver, worked at the Hilton, and in his later years worked with Uber & Lyft. He was a very hard worker and had high ethical values. He loved going back to his home town Monterrey where he was known as “Guero” and spent time with his nephews and nieces and their families along with his long time friend Jaime Flores. He enjoyed watching soccer, football, and baseball and loved being around his dog Chulis.
Our father will truly be missed by his family, grandchildren, and all who knew and loved him.
