In Loving Memory of
Luis A. Figueroa
August 29, 1959 - May 1, 2021
Born August 29, 1959 born in Cataño, PR to Ana Elma (Rios) Figueroa and the late Epifanio Figueroa. Raised in East New York - Brooklyn, New York and lived in Florida for many years before his passing. God added Luis to His garden after a long illness on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at Jacaranda Manor Balanced Health Care Center in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Graduated from James Madison High School in 1977. Loved working for UPS. Was energetic, strong and had a passion for baseball. Played baseball as a kid and softball as an adult. A Met fan aficionado. Loved having a good time and spending time with family and friends. Enjoyed dancing, listening to salsa music and playing his congas. Was fearless and protected his family and friends at any cost. Had a funny, adventurous and head-strong personality. In his younger years, he purchased a jalopy Volkswagen - Rabbit against the advice of friends and family. In his stubborn self, insisted in taking it to Florida with his wife. They only made it to the end of New Jersey beginning of Delaware when they had to turn back to NY since they had spent most of the vacation money on car repairs due to blow outs, busted hose, and other disasters. Oh, and let's not forget how much he LOVED and took pride in his big afro!
Luis is survived by his mother, wife: Ivett Figueroa; two children Leanne Cardenas and Jason Figueroa and his four grandchildren: Madison Judith Cardenas, Savannah Renae Cardenas, John Anthony Kealy Figueroa, and MacKenzie Elizabeth Kealy Figueroa; six siblings: Edwin R. Figueroa, Evelyn M. Figueroa, Vilma Hernandez, Epifanio E. Figueroa, Alex Figueroa, and Judy Navedo. A special gratitude goes out to Evelyn M. Figueroa (sister), Evelyn Pabon (niece) and Hermenegildo Hernandez, his best friend and brother-in-law who tightly held his hands days before his sudden passing. Now he is reunited with his father Epifanio Figueroa. Will forever live in our hearts and will never be forgotten.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, May 10 2021 at 2 pm at St. James Catholic Cathedral, 215 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801, with Fr. Matthew Hawkins officiating.
Visitation is Monday, May 10 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at Newcomer Funeral Home - Winter Park Chapel, 3806 Howell Branch Rd, Winter Park.
