He was a very social person, he loved to be around family and friends. He loved to give everything he had and was happy when everyone around him was having a good time. He loved hearing music and drinking beer when he was young. As he grew older he quit drinking beer and gained a sweet tooth. He enjoyed eating cookies, chocolate cake and anything that was sweet. His favorite quote was "Vamos aver las chicas en bikini y no me recuerden a mi gorda."
Even though I walk through the darkest valley I will fear no evil for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me and my family through this hard times. The hope of heaven gives me peace. That's what i ask for all my family, peace. Your prayers have comforted us, your support has strengthened us and your love has sustained us. We extend our deepest thanks to everyone who has come to pay the respect.
