Esteban Torres

Esteban cared for his grandmother and uncle who he loved dearly. He attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Merced, California.

Esteban is preceded in death by his father Guadalupe Torres, grandfather Felimon Alvarez and cousin Miguel Badillo.

He is survived by his mother Elvia Alvarez, brothers; Cesar Torres, Ricardo Torres, Miguel Torres and Luis Torres. He also leaves behind his sisters; Rosa Barragan and Fabiola Barragan as well as his grandmother Lucia Alvarez.

Anyone who knew Esteban (Steven) knows of his generosity, humility and selflessness. He demonstrated these traits again and again throughout his life. He made friends so easily and was true to each one of them. The little that he had he made sure to share it with those around him.

Steven had a special gift, to make others happy. He also knew how to turn any occasion into a special event, he could enter a room and brighten it up with his smile, his attitude, or just his presence. He had “it”. He loved to dance, he made sure his mom, his sisters, all his aunts and cousins had a dancing partner… he was there to dance all night and he did.

He had an exorbitant number of storms during his short life, so he knew from experience that another storm was coming on the heels of the one that just passed.
