Luis H. Ariza

Luis Horacio Ariza was born on February 22, 1948 in San Martin Jilotepeque, Guatemala. He gained his angel wings on March 22, 2022.

A self taught master welder, Luis devoted his life to his immediate and extended family. Known to his family as Lacho and grandchildren as Lelo. He was humble, caring and although a man of a few words, when he spoke his sincerity and humor always found a way to make you laugh.

He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather of 6, brother to 10 and friend to all. Receiving him in heaven are his parents Luis Ariza and Marta Jerez, and sister Mirna Ariza. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years Ofelia, his daughters Mayra-husband Francisco and their daughters Maribel and Sofia, daughter Ingrid-husband Jorge and daughters Giselle and Isabelle, and daughter Nancy-husband Francisco and sons Vincent and Luis, and siblings Jose, Israel, Manuel, Beatriz, Ana, Enrique, Hector, Marta Elisa and Lila.

Although he is no longer with us physically, he will forever be in our hearts, lives and his lessons in our daily actions.
