Angel Mija Espinoza

Selfless, caring, loving, nurturing,

What Angel was like

He always made sure me and my brother had an amazing time no matter what even through his addiction. He was a good man. Hes been stable at many points in his life. He's very smart and he knows how to get himself in and out of situations swiftly.

Fondest memories of Angel

He used to count change to get me a yellow laffy Taffy from 7-Eleven down the street from our house if I didn't have the change. Also in that same house that you would walk to 7-Eleven and get me a yellow laffy Taffy he also wrecked my mom and dad's white car and they have the file bankruptcy this year because they were still getting garnished for the car not being paid off. But they never held it against him it's honestly something we've laughed at for years now considering the circumstances

How Angel will be missed

Everything. Being able to text him and knowing he'll respond sometime. Knowing that there was someone out there that cared for me even if nobody else in my life did. I'm going to miss the late night conversations. Everything. The walks to 7 eleven. The walks to braums. Everything. Even if he thought it was nothing it was everything to me

How Angel will be remembered

I'm not sure how he'd like to be remembered but I know what I remember him as. He was a hard-working individual who just happened to fall into his addiction. I know who he was and who he could've been. An amazing dad , and amazing grandpa, and he was.
