Eduardo S. Silva, 25

I will always remember the great times I spent with one of the best friends I have ever had. He was always happy and enjoying life. I do not have one bad memory of him. Lalo always lent you a hand if you needed it. I remember one time I was stuck in Salinas with no ride and I called him asking for a ride, no questions asked he came to get me. That's just one instance of him being a great person. We had great times Lalo and I am saddened by your inopportune death but I know you are in a better place. I loved you like a brother and will always remember you as a fun loving, happy, enjoyable person. YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!

Un joven con carisma que si duda alguna nos alegro nuestra vidas en muchas ocasiones. Tus talentos y mas tu amistad nos ayudaron a sobrepasar momentos muy dificiles en nuestras vidas confundidas y perdidas. Garcias por tu alegria, tu sonrisa y tu carcajada; levantaron nuestros corazones un monton de veces. Gracias por las huellas que dejaste en nuestras vida sin esperar nada a cambio; tu amistad sincera nos encadena con nuestro recuerdos. Nuestro amigo Eduardo, no nos olvides a tus cuates de Fresno. Animooo y mil bendiciones

Eduardo was one of the nicest, polite, always helping others, respectful, curtious, joyful, and a bright light that no one could ever dim young man. I was honored to be part of his life while he was in band. I still see him smiling at me as he followed every beat, he has the best smile. I honor and think of him everytime I call my son because he influenced my sons name. I hoped when I named my son that he would be as wonderful as Eduardo. I have held Eduardo in my heart for years and will continue to. To his wife and family I know it is the worst thing that can happen but I know you can feel his love. My sympathy is overwhelming be cause I loved him and all of you so much. You all supported me when I taught Eduardo and Elizabeth if I can do anything please feel free to ask.(I'm in the Soledad phone book)
With all my love, Victoria Zieber

Lalito is my cousin, and for me the memory that I will always carry is his wonderful smile and the way that he always loved to dance at weddings or family events! always made us laugh! he was so caring and loving. He died while protecting our country and for that we will always be proud of! Lalito you will surely be missed primito! Ahora estas con Dios! Rest in peace....

He was such an awesome person.. When I heard about his death, I felt really bad I moved from Greenfield after graduation, but I still remembering him dancing like Michael Jackson, and Ricky Martin in our SoberGrad Party.. He was such a nice, & funny guy that it was inpossible for him to not make someone laugh. GHS Class of 2002 will miss you!
You are now an angel. Que descanses en paz, amigo..

you will always be in our (class 2002) hearts!

The memories I have of my cousin Lalito are many. When he lived in Fresno, I would always check up on him. I remember one time he came out of the apartment half asleep and with the craziest hair style. Even though he was half asleep, he had the biggest smile ever. I would take him out to grab something to eat because I was worried that he was not eating since he was way too thin. I will always have those and many more memories of Lalito in my heart! We miss you!! Love Araceli Silva

I met Eduardo in Salinas when he came home for mid-tour leave. He was so happy to share the time with Rosalinda, his family and friends. He seemed so happy, laughing with us. He seemed proud of what he was doing. I know we were all proud of him, too. God bless you, Eduardo, and may God watch over your family.
