War is war, and people die, and you don't want your kids to be put in that position. But I don't think he had a fear of that. That was something he was willing to risk as part of the package.

Escobar was born in Orizaba, Mexico. When he was buried, the family explained to his sister Samantha, 6, that he was being put into the earth "like a flower."

6 memories of Sergio
Sergio was my high school best friend. He loved what he did and he didnt complain one bit. True hero and true friend.
Although I didn't know you, I know the impact that you left on my beloved husbands heart. The good, the bad and the best, memories are forever. Know that your are so loved, missed, and remembered. To you, your family and friends who know that your heroism will always live on. We love you!
I did not know Sergio personally, but he was my son Rogelio's friend. His death and his honor had a great impact on my son. Rogelio also joined the Marines and told me to never forget his friend Sergio and what he did for his country. Two years later, my son Rogelio also gave his life for his country. Now together they both serve in a greater place. God bless them both and they will not be forgotten.
i love you so much. you were a great man and i wish had more time with you. i love everything about. i miss you so much and all wanted was to be with you. i think about you every day. i love you.
your flat booty minnie.
I knew Sergio Escobar since six grade, he was one of my homies that i kick it with. i knew him pretty well and when i heard about his death i was surprised and heart broken because you can believe how short life really is and how his was shorten, i saw him go through some stuff and make it through some stuff. i got so much to say, words cannot even describe what i have to say, the most important thing that i think that people should know about this kid is that he had good heart and tried so hard to overcome his obstacles. So Sergio you will never be forgotten RIP and god bless ur family. WE ALL WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!!
To Sergio's family; Truly sorry about your great loss, cause I'm sure he was a GREAT son and person. Just because he was an Escobar, like me, I feel we were family. God has him now and may he also Bless you, his family.
