Luis embarked on a journey that began with humble roots and culminated in a tapestry of accomplishment and resilience.

His memory will persist within his two grandchildren. He also shared a chapter of his life with his former wife, Jolina Santa Maria, creating bonds that will remain woven into the fabric of family. He is survived by his brothers and sisters. He was known for his especially strong bond with his twin brother, Fernando Trevizo.
