I met Ces when we worked together at LAUSD in 2003. We immediately hit it off, and we both went on to other projects, but became good friends.  We went on many fishing trips together, played music, and went to many concerts over the years.  He was always super friendly, loved his family, loved to fish, play music, surf, and loved life.  Even though we wouldn't talk that often as we started different chapters in our life we would always check up or have a call to catch up. We at least went fishing once a year somewhere. In recent years he talked about moving to Hawaii, and sounded like the last time we talked that was happening.  I tried reaching out about fishing, but never received a call back of reply to my text. I thought he made the move so was just chopping it up to Ces being Ces. I wish I would have known when it happened. I finally reached out to an employer he had listed on Linkedin and they gave me the bad news. He was so young, and if anyone knows what happened that would be good to know. I will miss him greatly, and will forever have a place in my heart. RIP Senor Ces. See you on the other side save a spot on the fishing boat for me..

We knew each other from the Alameda Corridor Project. You taught me so much about report writing. I hope you Rest In Peace. You loved your succulents and you loved the ladies. We called you Dr. Love. ❤️

I'm stunned and heart broken upon hearing of Ces's untimely departure. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
I met Ces when I started going Los Angeles from San Diego each week for a project, PSEP, that we both worked on.
We got along quickly and easily, due to Ces's intelligence and good nature.
We often brought guitars to lunch and had quick little lunch time jams, or listened to the various bands on Wednesdays at Pershing Park.
After our project ended, we met up at times in San Diego, playing music at my house.
We had talked of a surf trip to Costa Rica, where I had been and he'd hoped to go.
I was really hoping for this trip.
I know his family meant so much to him, we both having lost a brother way too soon.
I'll miss our easy calls. Sharing surf, music, and silly work situations.
I've lost a good freind, and will cherish the memories, and hope his family finds comfort that all who met Ces enjoyed their time with him.
Gods speed brother, peace to all that read this.
C Cooper.
