My name is Tiffany Montoya. My father was Luis Montoya. In the early hours of Thursday, March 28th, my father passed away after suffering a traumatic accident related to his work in landscaping on Tuesday, March 26.

We are absolutely devastated by my dad’s sudden passing. He had the brightest soul and was an outgoing person, always making people laugh, especially his family. He was so beyond hardworking and always put me, my mom, and brother first no matter the situation he was always there. He had so many goals left to achieve in this life including watching me graduate college and being successful, he had so many new business plans with my older brother. He is survived by his wife, Jacqueline, his eldest son, Emanol (22), and me, his youngest daughter (19).

As we prepare to lay my father to rest, we are learning about the astronomical costs associated with his service and cremation. Based on our research, we anticipate the costs being between $8,000-$10,000.

We are planning his service for Saturday, March 30th. Please consider donating if you are able to do so. Any little bit makes a difference. We are so very grateful for every donation during this difficult time.

With love,

Tiffany, Emanol, and Jacqueline
