We called him Dad; others called him Louie, Lalo, Grandpa, and so much more. He had many nicknames and titles, all of which fit his loving, caring, funny, and outgoing personality. He was a father, friend, husband, uncle, godfather, and more.

If you had the honor of knowing him, you know how hard this is to write. The heartache is deep because the connections we shared with him are eternal. With his unexpected passing away from his home in Texas, we are now on a mission to bring this cowboy home.

If you are able to help, any donation—big or small—would be greatly appreciated. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this post far and wide. Your thoughts, prayers, and stories about him mean the world to us.

We love you all. Here’s to Louie.
