Enrique Yescas

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Enrique Yescas, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who left us peacefully after a courageous three-year battle with cancer, he has now been reunited with his parents and those who have gone before him.

Diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and given only six months to live, Enrique Yescas defied all odds with incredible strength, bravery, and determination. He fought not only for himself but for those he loved, living his life with a passion and zest that inspired everyone around him. For three years, he showed us the true meaning of resilience, refusing to let his diagnosis define him. Every moment of those years was filled with excitement, joy, and an unwavering commitment to his family. 

A man who lived life his way, Enrique was the embodiment of strength, kindness, and generosity. He had a larger-than-life presence, treating everyone with respect and humility, teaching us all the value of family, love, and living each day to the fullest. His lessons, both spoken and unspoken, will stay with us forever. He was a remarkable teacher, a constant safety net, and an example of how to live with courage and integrity. 

Above all, Enrique was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He loved his family deeply and showed us every day how much we meant to him. His legacy will live on in the memories we carry with us, in the values he instilled, and in the love he gave so freely. Though his time with us was short, the impact he had on our lives will last a lifetime. 

We are forever grateful for the time we had with him. Though our hearts are broken, we take comfort in knowing he is at peace and that one day we will be reunited. Until then, he will live on in our hearts, in every lesson he taught us, and in the way he made us feel truly loved. 

We love you forever. You will always be with us.
