Louis Ben John Espinoza II

2026, at 5:15 a.m., at the age of 40. Born on May 15, 1985, in Chandler, Arizona, Louie was a

proud Arizona native who grew up in Globe, Superior, Florence, and Coolidge — communities

that shaped the man so many came to love.

He was preceded in death by his father, Louis Espinoza. He is survived by his devoted mother,

Terri Espinoza of Coolidge; his sister Brittany Miller (Zach Miller) of Coolidge; his brother Jacob Espinoza (Christine Espinoza) of Tucson; his loving wife, Ashley Robinette of Coolidge; and his cherished daughters, Savannah Espinoza and Elysium Espinoza.

He was a proud and beloved uncle to Tyler Wildermuth (and his girlfriend Jordan, and their baby

Kobe), Mason Casura, Jett Miller, Zane Miller, Maverick Miller, Alie Espinoza, and Wesley

Espinoza, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews who loved him dearly.

Louie attended Crossroads Church in Casa Grande with his family. He knew the Bible deeply and carried a strong faith in God. He had an incredible mind and a passion for knowledge. Louie loved history and could recall exact dates, name every U.S. president, and discuss world events with remarkable detail. His intelligence amazed everyone around him. He graduated from Coolidge High School, where he proudly played football all four years and competed in shot put and discus, winning a state title in middle school. His strength and determination were evident even then.

Louie most recently worked as a Habilitation Technician at the State of Arizona Training Center.

He absolutely loved caring for the individuals there and was exceptional at it. Serving others came naturally to him. Above all, Louie was a devoted family man. He became a father to Savannah on June 9, 2005, and later married her mother. In 2008, he began a life with Ashley, and they married in June 2012. Their daughter Elysium was born on November 2, 2012. Louie was immensely proud of his girls.

He was protective, loyal, and their biggest fan, always cheering them on in everything they did.

Ashley and the girls were his world. He loved playing with his nieces and nephews; they flocked to him. He was generous, kind, and never met a stranger. Louie had a lifelong passion for animals, especially dogs. He raised and trained dogs, particularly bullies and Cane Corsos, and had extensive knowledge of breeding and training. He could identify nearly every breed and knew remarkable details about animals and nature. He dreamed of moving up north one day to live in a cabin surrounded by the outdoors he loved.

He was a devoted fan of The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, and he loved watching movies with his family. After his father passed, he stepped up as his mother’s handyman, always helping

around the house. He was strong, intelligent, protective, deeply loving, and completely devoted to his family. Louie’s legacy is one of strength, knowledge, faith, and unwavering love. He was the best husband, father, son, brother, and uncle, and he will be deeply missed beyond words.
