Luis Miguel Huesca

Luis M. Huesca was a six-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, whose life was taken in the line of duty on Sunday, April 21st, 2024, at the age of 30. Loving son of Edith and Emiliano Huesca. Cherished brother of Emiliano Huesca Jr., Liliana (James) O’Brien; Devoted uncle of Owen, Olivia and Isabella O’Brien; Best friend of Christian Calderon.

Luis was born in the Avondale area of Chicago, later moving to Bolingbrook where he attended Plainfield East High School. After high school, the family moved back to the Pilsen area where he continued his education at University of Illinois at Chicago and graduated with a BS in Business Administration.

Luis had a passion for life. He loved to travel and fully immerse himself in the different cultures, including learning the local language and trying the cuisine. His actions were very intentional, always showing up for his peers and family when needed never asking for anything in return. Luis was the prime example of bravery, loyalty, and integrity standing up for those in need. He was a kid at heart with an infectious smile and playful soul.

Luis loved cooking and wanted to be a chef and own his own business; but the desire to help/protect others led him down the police officer path. He wanted to make an impact, teach kids that even though their environment may be surrounded by violence, there is another path.
