Louis Cardenas Obituary

Louis R. Cardenas native son of San Antonio, Texas entered rest on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the age of 98. He was preceded in death by his wife Kiki Angelique Perikles Cardenas, his mother Josephine Ramos Cardenas, and his father Leonardo Cardenas de Hoyos. Although he and Kiki had no children, Louis is survived by his nephews John Perikles and George Perikles; and his nieces Lori Enriquez, Lisa Littleton, and Victoria Bickford. Uncle Lou was the quintessential uncle to all his nieces and nephews. Whether he was driving nieces to the mall without complaint or driving across several states to bring furniture to a nephew starting a career in a new town, he did whatever was needed for his family. Louis retired from the Department of Transportation-Federal Railroad Administration. Previously he worked for the Maritime Administration in Washington D.C. He was a member of Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Annapolis, Maryland where he resided for fifty six years. A funeral Mass will be held at 11:30 A.M., on May 7 at Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church. He will be buried at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, in Silver Spring, Maryland with his wife, Kiki Perikles Cardenas.
