I remember me and shaggy always having fun Valdez especially when we shook his hand he would get so mad when we tickled his palm of his hand lol. 

One of my best memories is when I would bring my grandpa a potato sized bag of freshly roasted peanuts and he would get the biggest smile, laugh then rub his stomach. He would always ask me for another bag of peanuts because he said they were the best. Another memory I have with grandpa was when I would go visit him at the meat market and he would call me and say “flaca comete estas carnitas” then he would wait until I finished all the freshly made carnitas as we had our talks about life. 

Today the family and I honor your physical existence exchanging memories we’ve shared with you. Today and every day we will celebrate you by keeping you in our memories and continuing to speak your name in the family stories.Whenever I crack a Dr Pepper I’ll think of you. Whenever someone shouts,” hey, lulu”,  I’ll think of you and my soul will smile. I’ll think of you when I eat carnitas or when I see an Altima cruising by. May you transition peacefully into eternal love, Apa. -love, La Pequeña Lulú

One of the memories I  have is when I was young I would go to his home for the summer and my uncle told us to get ready because we where going to the store Chayo and Connie got ready quick .It took me a little bit longer because I had long hair and by the time I went outside they where gone and left me behind I went inside crying . Like 10 minutes passed and he came back for me he said he was sorry and I wiped my tears and got in the car 

Papito de mi alma me duele mucho aceptar su partida tu amor y tus enseñanzas son mis motivos para seguir adelante. Qué difícil será ya no tenerte cerca La nostalgia me invade pero debo aceptarlo. Pronto papá algún día nos volveremos a ver. Por lo pronto llevaré Nuestros recuerdos en mi corazón. Como cuando comíamos lonche juntos y siempre me guardaba y me dabas de tu Coca-Cola. O cuando llegaba en la mañana al trabajo y me gritabas chaparra y nos poníamos a bailar. Muchas gracias papi sé que fuiste es el mejor padre. Te amo papá 
Siempre vivirás en mi corazón. 

Padre te extraño un chingo y más cuando me regañabas porque las carnitas salían tarde y desbaratadas. Pero quiero que sepas que un padre Nunca muere porque perviven eternamente en nuestros  corazones y pensamientos. Descanse en paz papá. 

Our beloved grandparents .. 
We will live through our years remembering them through the memories we’ve created with them. For my grandma is making her star or concha sopita or a pot of canela. For my grandpa it’s his love for cars. His perfect delicious carnitas. These memories will help us feel them closer to what once was their home. 

Where do I start!!! Valdez was a unique and humble man!! Hard worker and dedicated to his family!! There was two sides of him, the quite and serious man, the other funny and talkative!!! While living on 131st our families has come a unity, as we call ourself 131st family along with other families on the block!!! His daughter Connie was my bestfriend! And at her house, I remember Valdez would chase after me!! I would scream from the top of my lungs for Connie’s help!! While she just laugh, it wasn’t until the day we laid momma Cata to rest, at the Valdez residence.. Valdez and I had a heart to heart conversation. He thank me for being good and true friend to the family!! Along with other conversations!! I was surprise he was talking! That moment, that conversation will be cherish by me forever…I know he’s rejoicing with Connie and Momma Cata and baby Angel and the rest of his family!!! It was truly a blessing Valdez to have you in my life!!! Rest In Peace!!! 

May god give his family the strength they need. Love Dorene 

My dear family as we enter  this new season of life without both grandparents, I pray that you all find Gods peace and love! For now our family in heaven is also growing!  Dad you will remembered and missed by many and live in our hearts for ever!

I remember when we were kids hanging out in the living room, my grandpa would walk in with his lunch bag in his hand. He would give us high fives and knuckles and say “Waaats up my neeega”!

I’ll always remember my Grandpa through Pepsi soda cans, peanuts, his “carnitas chingonas”, and “detailing” his cars.

One of my best memories is when I surprised 😮 my dad for Thanksgiving in 2019! It’ was the first Thanksgiving I was with out my Sons,, but enjoyed my family in Cali. Special thanks to Lisa who helped me!!When we talk dad  often ask when are you  going to cook a bird (turkey) that’s what he called it! During my visit I was able to make grandmas mole , rice , beans and her Chile with egg and dad said it taste (like grandmas cooking)! The one thing I will always remember of my father is his  work ethic and  love for people! Dad you will live Im my heart forever!  Memories is all we are left with from our love ones when they leave this earth! Love Chayo !

A GREAT MEMORY OF MR VALDEZ.. HE COOKED US SOME CARNITAS AND I TOLD HIM WE WERE GONNA GET MARRIED LOL I CANT REMEMBER HIS RESPONSE BUT I KNOW IT WAS FUNNY... WE WILL TRULY MISS HIM.. NOW MY MOM WILL HAVE UNLIMITED CARNITAS IN HEAVEN WITH HIM REST PEACEFULLY DAD..

My favorite memories was when we would have our morning talks after I would get off of work and he would be working out in the kitchen telling me how he was stronger than me and could knock me out. Also him telling me how proud he was of me getting up every day and going to work. How he wanted me to keep pushing and be someone in life. So thankful for our daily talks that we had they were the best always looked forward to them every morning💙.

A sharing memory of mine is when I would go to his room and ask for a soda but he would say something in Spanish I didn’t understand but I always thought it was funny, and I still do something else was when he would go to the back and he would give me $5 that made me $5 richer and make my day for happier. Love you always, and I’ll carry you in my heart for ever grandpa.
Love Amerie 

One of my favorite memories Of grandpa is going to the store and him always preparing his bomb carnitas and cueritos with lemon and tapatio and not taking no for an answer and as full as I was I would always eat them. 
I am forever thankful 

I’ll always remember my grandpa laugh 
.  Aswell as whenever he would see my red car he would always tell me it’s really nice and to take care of it and that soon he was going to go to the dealership and get himself a brand new car! His face would light up and he would have the biggest smile. 

Another memory is him always making his coffee in the early mornings before going to work and always having  Coca-Cola or Pepsi 
 in his room in his little fridge and candy !  
 
I’ll forever remember how every time I would visit the store and he was there. He would always bring me a plate of food. If I didn’t eat it all he would get upset. He was always so proud of his carnitas ! 

Love you grandpa ♥️

One time I was making a soup and I think it was Marlenes. She said what are you doing using my soups it cost 10 dollars as a joke. Grandpa had heard and he gave me money so I can make the soup. This showed he was always a very caring and nice guy. One more memory I had was when my mom used to drop me off early at grandmas and I would walk past the kitchen and he will be doing push-ups. I told him I didn’t know he was that strong I had to use siri because I’m sorta a no sabo kid. He just laughed like he knew he was the man.
