Reyes Zapata Luna

Reyes will always be remembered as the life of any party or family gathering. He had a special gift of music and poetry that he loved to share. He would always take the microphone to officiate at those events, and would sing songs, play his guitar, and recite poetry he had composed specifically for the person being honored at that event. His family will always remember his love of jokes, telling stories, whistling, and his creative nature. He also recorded all of those special events so that he could go back and watch them again later, reliving the happiness of being together with his family. He also loved to travel, especially to Las Vegas, and visit the casinos. He was also gifted with inventing little devices to help with projects. If you needed it, and it didn’t exist, he would invent it!

Reyes was preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife, Francisca “Panchita” Garcia de Luna; 2 brothers; and 2 sisters. He is survived by his children, Alma D. Hernandez and husband Cipriano, Gerardo Luna and wife Teresa, Alex Luna and wife Sandra Perez, Reyes Luna, Jr., Imelda Pichardo and husband Martin, Fernando Luna and wife Francis; 27 grandchildren; 55 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; brothers, Eleno Luna and Gregorio Luna; sisters, Petra Luna Villareal and Paula Luna Rodriguez; as well as many extended family members and friends.
