SFC Cantu was my first squad leader after coming out of AIT at Ft. Carson. He was everything an NCO should be. Tough, fair, caring, and a great person. He was a huge part of shaping the person I became. I hope in some way he knew that. 

You will be missed brother, We will see you on the high ground. 

From the very beginning, I was a Daddy’s girl! In 2016 you and Maryann threw me the Sweet 16 I had always wanted. She worked so hard to put it together, took me to pick the dress for my special day, and I remember that night like it was yesterday. For the daddy, daughter dance you picked “It won’t be like this for long”, by Darius Rucker.. I had never heard it before but from that moment on, that was our song.. We laughed, and then you began to tear up as you sang along to the lyrics bc I was growing up! I won’t get to dance with you at my wedding, but I’m forever grateful that I got at least one daddy, daughter dance.. A night I’ll never forget and will always carry with me. I love you more than I ever could’ve told you old man.. I’ll forever be your babygirl.. 💛 

I remember the first time I walked in your office in Grand Prairie. I was thinking about leaving the Army and instead of blowing me off you recruited me to work for you in retention. We had good times and definitely learned a lot from you. I appreciate the memories and my condolences go out to the Cantu family. Gonna miss you pal. Quick lesson. I’m a die hard Cowboys fan and of course you a Steelers fan. And we still became good friends. Conservative and liberal. Both serving our country for our families...I’ll see you again pal...

Cantu,

You will be missed! We had great times together and always a story no matter the excursion! You had a successful life with alot of accomplishments and a great Family to show for it! You are loved my Brother! We will miss you always!

Blood doesn’t always make you family. My kids adored you and knew you as their Uncle Efrain. We would always talk smack to each other and I’m gonna miss that. You were a good person and you loved your family more than anything. Wish we could of said our good byes until we meet again we’ll miss you! RIP Efrain! 

SFC Cantu,  worked for me while in the Dallas and Grand Prairie area as a career counselor. He was a dedicated person to his job and military family he was always striving to be great.  He shared his knowledge with others and I could depend on him when things got tuff. SFC Cantu was funny and  Mysterious and sometimes  Quiet.  To the family and love one's I want to send my deepest  sympathy I hope God will give you strength and courage to live on and keep his memories alive.  God bless his soul and spirit rest well my friend. 

You were my brother from another mother, down like 2 flat tires and the most genuine, loving, and funniest partner I have ever met. We laughed at things others questioned. You took me under your wing as a new NCO and showed me the ropes. We cheered at one anothers accomplishments which especially meant those of our kids. You will be forever in my heart and thoughts and your kiddos will always have me as another shoulder to lean on, ear to listen to and tia. I love you Cantu kiddos.

Efrain you will be greatly missed! Cody and I are so happy we got to meet you and spend time with you all. I am so glad you were there for my brother and sister and that you made a great life for my step mom! We will never forget our trip and that we got to have a real Mexican bbq with you all! Thank you so much for the memories and we hope you Rest In Peace. We love you all! Love Britany and Cody❤️ 

I will always remember the football trash talk. Efrain loving the Steelers and my love for the Ravens.  Always looked forward to the season. I know you’ll be cheering from heaven. I know your dad, grandma and all our aunts and uncles were there to welcome you home.  Love you cuz.  

SFC Efran Cantu worked for me for several years in the Dallas, Forth Worth area. I will always remember him for his jovial nature and his ability to find humor in almost every situation. He was always cutting up and trying to remain positive even during the most stressful of times.   Efran was loyal to his military brothers and sisters and was always ready to help them. He made friends that remained in contact with him wherever he went and was deeply missed by myself when he left my unit. He loved his Family and talked often about his parents and his children. My deepest condolences to his family and all those who loved him. The struggle is over, the battle is won, rest now my brother until we meet again at the gates of Heaven. 

Im going to miss you primo. From childhood to the present we had our encounters from family reunions to the dreaded funerals. We got a lot closer when Efrain came to work in Pleasanton Tx. I finally had kin in the same zip code. Boy was I  ecstatic to find out he rented a house from my wife’s uncle. From going to lunch at the spur of the moment to cook outs here at my house. To arguing about the Steelers and cowboys. Our deepest condolences to the family. Ride high cuz and RIP.
