Luis is the beloved son of Maria Velez; loving brother to Manuel Velez, Susana (Robert) Kurtz, Fannie (Merrill Sutherin) Sills; proud uncle to Lisa (Anthony) Kranz, Sean (Jessica) Sills, Chris (Klaudia) Sills, Abigail (Dillon) Patrick, Hannah Kurtz; cherished granduncle to Jaxon, Lucas and Sean Jr. Sills; and loving friend to many. He is preceded in death by his father, Alfonso Velez.
Luis retired from the Internal Revenue Service in June 2020; a long career he was very proud of. He was a very outgoing person and never met a stranger. His generosity knew no bounds. Luis lived life to the fullest; always singing and dancing. His laughter was contagious and his jokes never left a dry eye. Luis loved sports as well as the arts; a true Chicago Bears and White Sox fan and a dedicated patron of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Luis, you will always be remembered in our hearts as our goofy, generous, and big-hearted son, brother, uncle, and friend. You are sorely missed. We love you.
