I can only say that I am happy that I have known Luis all his life. This is from his proud Auntie Frances in Chicago. He has tried anything and everything that his heart desired to do to make him happy. Everyone knows that hes always silly, so when he said he wanted to go to cooking school I laughed, but I gave him the money and he went and enjoyed it. I went to Florida to visit the family and the next thing you know he and I are selling mattresses together while waiting for him to get off of work memories. The big little nephew will be missed. I know there's never a worry cause Ada has an angel on her side. Love 💘 ya
I remember chillin with Preston and Luis as they were changing out parts on an AR15 and the topic of conversation turned to zombies (naturally). My boys said that there is no way zombies could ever exist which made me think they didn't know a thing about spirituality. So I brought up the topic of god and they both looked at each other and shook their heads like they didn't believe. I went ahead and explained a bit about ayahuasca to them if they really wanted a psychedelic breakthrough to see beyond. And they agreed to partake in the sacrament.
The first time the cermemony was lined up Luis bailed out I think because he got nervous and couldn't fast....lol. Anyway, he was still open minded enough to try again and oh boy did it work for him! At one of the deepest points of his visionary experience he sorta came back too for a few moments and he said "I know god." and I asked "How?" and he said "Because I touched him." He then proceded to get out of control a few minutes later and dude is a big boy so I had to shepard him into the bathroom in hopes that he'd find the shower. Turns out he rips the sink off the wall and rages for a bit before finally coming back to earth. It was a very powerful and moving experience for him. We were chillin like a week later listening to music and he's like, "You're right man, I can hear the music MUCH better now!" and we laughed.
Keep in mind that the aya was completely done legally so there is no reason to rat. This is something that happened like 4 years before the pandemic so it's all good. I loved Luis as my best friend. I will think of him everyday for the rest of my life. My parents always told me that I am lucky to have a friend as good as him. For years I didn't have a car and he was more than happy to help most of the time.
Dude just knocked on the door one day in follow up to an advertisement I put out there for a D&D game and became an amazing friend to me and my D&D group. I'm sure he's in a better place then this rock we're living on and all of his true friends would agree that without a doubt he was a man of god.
What a light to everyone. A great person an amazing grandfather with love them boys like no other. He will be missed by so many. With all my heart ❤️ Kristy T
