Fond memories: If you knew him you knew him either by the following names such as Trejo, Luis, Viejo, Apa, compadre, Abuelito, Compa and a few others, but regardless of what name you knew him by he was a very loving and humble human being. He was born in Zacatecas Mexico, but lived most of his youth in Juarez, Chihuahua before migrating his family to El Paso Texas where he was a resident since 1978 to 2024. He loved to pray for others, sing, cook, run marathons, play futbol, baseball (pitcher), listen to music (Mariachi, Vicente, Lupillo, Jose Alfredo, Carin, Oldies, etc..), and take care of his trees and plants. His durazno, granadas, and membrillos trees will miss him dearly. Ever since he was a little kid, he was a very dedicated and hard worker. He loved his family and friends dearly and would do anything to help anyone. He loved to travel to Mexico for family vacations and to visit great friends. Nothing ever slowed down Apa, unfortunately his health deteriorated due to his past strokes, but he fought very hard until he finished his last marathon in his sleep. He will be dearly missed forever, and we only wish we will see him again. From your loving family.
