Luis Manuel Guzman - A heart of Gold and Spirit Unbroken

Donation protected
I'm struggling to find the right words to express the depth of my grief. Luis Manuel Guzman Rivas, my beloved brother, was taken from us too soon. He was more than just a son, a friend, or a father—he was a pillar of strength, a beacon of love, and a devout believer in our Lord Jesus Christ.

From my earliest memories, Luis's presence filled our lives with joy and warmth. He moved with us to Chicago after a family tragedy, and despite the hardships, our bond remained unbreakable. Luis was our protector, our confidant, our rock. We shared laughter, jokes, and precious moments together, finding solace in our family's embrace.

His love for life was infectious. We'd joke around, dance to reggaeton, and watch our favorite TV shows together. But it was his passion for horses that truly illuminated his spirit. Luis dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, nurturing his love for animals with every visit to Puerto Rico, where he cared for them alongside his family and friends.

Despite life's trials, Luis never lost his courage. Like a steadfast horse, he weathered every storm with grace and resilience. And just when things were looking up, he was taken from us in the blink of an eye.

On April 29th, our hearts shattered as we bid farewell to our beloved Luis Manuel. He was more than a father of three, more than a brother—he was a guiding light to all who knew him. His gentle strength, his unwavering love, will forever be etched in our hearts.

Now, as we navigate this unimaginable loss, we turn to you, dear friends, for support. We're gathering funds to give Luis the farewell he deserves and to ensure his children are cared for. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a world of difference.

Together, let's honor Luis's legacy and keep his spirit alive. Your generosity will not only ease our burden but also uphold the loving environment he fought so hard to create for his family.

Thank you for standing with us in this time of need. Luis's love will live on through his children and in the hearts of all who knew him.

We do not have any immediate information on the funeral dates and times, but please look out for more information with immediate family members, or public announcements if you have any questions.

Luis- also known as "Piwi", "Rooster", "Luisito" "Gambe" - Sabemos que si tu eres nuestro soldado en el cielo y leal hasta la muerte, baby. Justicia por ti mi amor se va aver, y en nuestros corazones vivo siempre estaras.

Repite conmigo...Luis, a true warrior in heart and soul, embodied the strength and compassion of a lion. As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.' Luis's unwavering faith and resilience serve as a testament to this truth, guiding us through life's trials with courage and grace."

Amen.

Dios te bendiga mi Angel. Te quiero mucho y te voy a extrañar pero juntos estaremos todos. Amor

Your beloved Family and Friends
