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!!!!
