| Published by Yuma Sun on Mar. 20, 2022 - Yuma, Arizona >> August 11,1943 - March 9, 2022 << Louis Lugo Lechuga, age 78, went home on March 9th, 2022, in Yuma, AZ surrounded by his family. Louis was born (and raised) in Yuma, AZ on Maiden Lane. Louis is survived by Helen M. Kenna, daughters; Sheila Labbe (Matthew) and Janine Aytekin (Dennis), son; Louis C. Lechuga (Audrey) and his 4 children (Kyla, Rhea, Eviana, and Louis D.) and grandchild (Ximena), sisters; Jessie De Anda and Felipa Ortiz, brother; Joe Lechuga, and many additional stepchildren and their children (with whom he treated as his own). Louis worked most of his life, he started with picking in the fields (from Yuma to Lodi, California) and washing dishes as a minor to working in an ice plant, bar tending, insurance, sales, and many additional jobs. A couple proud moments include becoming a Warehouse Manager for Viking Office Products Inc. and becoming entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur he was able to instill a wonderful work ethic in his children's life. In the end he retired as a civil servant for the State of Arizona. Things he enjoyed include having conversations, storytelling, art, reading history and keeping up with world events, cooking, automobiles, the railroad, traveling, movies, meeting new people, and of course sharing time and breaking bread with his family and loved ones. A fond memory he would share was his love for playing baseball & football (in high school) as a Yuma Criminal. Louis is preceded in death by his father; Jesus Lechuga, mother; Armida Lugo, sisters; Antonia Martinez, Elvira Lechuga, and Maria Lechuga, brothers; Fermin Martinez, Cerilo (Gordo) Martinez, Paul Lechuga, Isidro (Chilo) Lechuga, and Bruno Martinez.
