Six memories of Luis E. Tejeda
The only comment i can leave about Luis is that He is missed. I went to school with Luis since Kindergarden we both attended Woodlawn Ave. Then we went to Nimitz And Bell he was a great friend. I remember he always wanted to maKE IT IN THE RAPPING BUSINESS IT WAS FUNNY!!!! But I always believed one day he would but destiny played a false game on him... LUis You are missed from the bottom of my heart!!!
What can i say, was like my little brother, the eldest of my nephews. Always kind,friendly, funny, & happy person. When I remember him I see a smily face with a big dimple, can never forget that. If you did not meet him you missed out on a great person.."Kike", I will never forget you, you will always be in my heart and mind. I still can't believe it! I miss ya & love ya!!!!
Luis,
Thank you very much for your service to this country. This country is powerful and respected because of men and women like you. There is no ultimate sacrifice than a life. Only brave men and women like you can be called heroes. Knowing the possible outcome of serving in the military is courages and admirable on your part and it says a lot about you.
Not everyone is like you and not everyone can be you because very few people are like you, strong.
Thank you.
All i can say Luis was a great guy with a big heart he will always be remember. I would always see him happy with a big smile on him i remember the times he would rap infront of me outside Bell, High and always ask me what do i think about. He is someone who i will always remember as a friend and someone who i admired for been the way he was. Thank you for been the person that you where.

May your soul be at peace and may you be in gods hands. You are truly missed my dear friend.
