Luis was born June 23, 1993, in Indio, California to Ruben and Rosa Maria (Nunez) Arredondo. He moved with his family as a small boy to Lexington and then to Overton.

He was an active student with many friends and you never saw him without a smile on his face.
Luis loved little kids, animals, horses, fishing, spending time with his friends, music, dancing and when he walked in to a room his smile lit up that room. He was a kind boy who loved being with his family and will be so very, very missed.
