In Loving Memory of Steven Alcaraz Aguilar

Steven Alcaraz Aguilar, age 21, passed away in Newport Beach, California. Steven lived in Laguna Hills, California, and was born in the city of Apple Valley, California.

Steven was a loving son, brother, godfather, and friend whose joyful personality touched everyone who knew him. He loved singing, dancing, and playing football during his high school years. Steven was known among family and friends for his love of animals—he was everyone's go-to dog sitter and cared deeply for the pets he watched.

Steven also enjoyed playing video games and had a special love for his car, a black Camaro with a red stripe that he took great pride in. He worked as a Managing Partner at Shake Shack at the Irvine Spectrum, where he built many friendships and was respected for his dedication and work ethic.

Steven is survived by his loving parents, Leobardo Alcaraz Leon and Petra Aguilar; his brothers, Lorenzo Cervantes and Leovardo Antonio Alcaraz; and his beloved godson, Thiago Lorenzo. He will be remembered for his kindness, laughter, and the love he shared with his family and friends.

A Message from His Godparents

Steven,

Por azares del destino fuimos elegidos como tus padrinos, y la vida se encargó de lo demás. Tal vez no fuimos unos padrinos muy presentes, pero siempre estuvimos ahí por si en algo nos necesitabas.

Hoy queremos decirte que nos quedamos con los pocos, pero valiosos momentos que compartimos: las risas, cuando simplemente paseamos y disfrutamos del día, y el recuerdo tan especial de tu bautismo. Fueron momentos breves, pero verdaderamente inolvidables.

Ahora solo queremos pedirte que les des paz interior a tus padres y a tus hermanos, porque tu partida deja un vacío imposible de llenar.

Esto no es un adiós, porque nunca morirás en nuestros recuerdos.

Tus padrinos,
Verónica y Raúl Vázquez
