Andres Estrada Obituary

 

 

En memoria de nuestro querido Andres Estrada

Papá, esposo, hermano, tío y amigo. 

Andres Estrada nació el 12 de Julio de 1956 en Apaxtla de Castrejón, Guerrero. Desde sus primeros días, comenzó una lucha que hoy nos deja un recuerdo lleno de amor, sacrificio y fortaleza. 

Su vida fue un testimonio de entrega incondicional a su familia. Siempre puso nuestras necesidades por encima de las suyas, enfrentando el dolor, sudor y las lágrimas con valentía. Su objetivo fue claro: que no tuviéramos que enfrentar las mismas batallas que él vivió. 

Cuando cruzó la frontera, de México a EU, llevaba consigo únicamente sus dos pies, sus manos, una bolsa de ropa, su fe inquebrantable en Dios y el recuerdo de su madre y su familia en el corazón. Junto a sus hermanos y hermana, Ester, Jose y Pedro Estrada, construyó un futuro que muchos solo podrían imaginar lograr en varias vidas.

Esta unión de hermanos no solo construyó un legado de esfuerzo y resiliencia, sino que también nos heredó un espíritu de lucha en el corazón, ya sin la necesidad de batallar por alimento, techo o ropa. Juntos nos enseñaron el verdadero valor de la disciplina, la familia y la tradición. 

Andres Estrada, fue una persona muy fuerte que aun en la enfermedad demostró tener una gran fortaleza y unas enormes ganas de vivir, que luchó con todo su ser a pesar de la adversidad. Hoy nos deja físicamente, pero nos deja una gran enseñanza de valentía, fortaleza y resiliencia que vivirá por siempre en nuestros corazones. 

Andres vive eternamente en nuestros corazones. Que descanse en paz, rodeado del amor que siempre ofreció y seguirá recibiendo.  


In memory of our beloved Andres Estrada

Father, husband, brother, uncle and friend. 

Andres Estrada was born on July 12, 1956 in Apaxtla de Castrejón, Guerrero. From its first days, a fight began that today leaves us with a memory full of love, sacrifice and strength. 

His life was a testimony of unconditional dedication to his family. He always put our needs above his own, facing pain, sweat and tears with courage. His objective was clear: that we would not have to face the same battles that he experienced. 

When he crossed the border, from Mexico to the United States, he carried with him only his two feet, his hands, a bag of clothes, his unwavering faith in God, the memory of his mother and family in his heart. Together with his siblings, Ester, Jose and Pedro Estrada, Andres built a future that many could only imagine achieving in several lifetimes.

This union of siblings not only built a legacy of effort and resilience, but also inherited a fighting spirit in our hearts, no longer having to fight for food, shelter or clothing. Together they taught us the true value of discipline, family and tradition. 

Andres Estrada was a very strong person who, even in the face of illness, demonstrated great strength and an enormous desire to live, who fought with all his being despite adversity. Today he leaves us physically, but he leaves us a great lesson of courage, strength and resilience that will live forever in our hearts. 

Andres lives eternally in our hearts. May he rest in peace, surrounded by the love he always offered and will continue to receive.  

 

Interment to take place at Panteon Cristo Rey cemetery in Mexico
