Louie Padilla

Beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and pampa, Louie Padilla, Sr. joined our Heavenly Father on Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at the age of 79.

He is survived by his wife Gloria Cervantes-Padilla; sons: Louis Padilla and wife Maureen, Joe Padilla and wife Matilda, Ross Padilla and wife Gina; brother Johnny "Nine" Padilla and wife Margaret; sister Margot; 8 grandchildren: Mariah, Meghan, Lazarus and wife Marissa, Louie, Jerry, Josiah, Diego, Angelo; 6 great-grandchildren: Jordan, Elise, Bentley, Ivy, Aziaah, Onyx; niece Jackie Padilla; and his Eucharistic minister for 11 years Arthur Pacheco.

Louie enjoyed many things like poker, eating peanuts and candy, fixing things, and getting new shavers. Louie enjoyed making people laugh with his funny phrases “brand new second-hand” and his famous “mmmhmmm”.

Louie was the legend of giving everyone a unique nick name. The family had nicknames for Louie too “Loulou", "Tiny", "Kiki", "pops", and "pampa”.

Louie loved and befriended everyone he talked to. Louie’s compassion, humbleness, and kindness made everyone feel like apart of the family. Louie was passionate and proud of his family.

Louie will forever be in our hearts.

“See you next morning”
