Luis Alvarez Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Luis was a standout athlete in high school, excelling in football, baseball, and basketball. His natural talent and grit made him a leader on every field he stepped onto. Later in life, he passed on his love for sports to the next generation, coaching and mentoring the family's young softball and baseball players. A die- hard Bears and Notre Dame fan, he watched every game, cheering on his team no matter the outcome.
He was a Marine Corps Reservist, and whenever he shouted "Oorah!" you could feel the pride he had in being a Marine.
Humor was Luis' first language. His sharp wit and impeccable timing would leave you in tears. His generosity, with his time and affection, knew no bounds. He mafe you feel-seen, valued, and loved.
It's been said that, "what we have once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Luis will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know him and his love will remain with us always.
Rest in peace, dear son, brother, uncle and friend. Oorah!
