Obituary for Luis Alfonso Rojas
Luis Alfonso Rojas, 83, of Bronx, New York passed away on October 31, 2023 in the Bronx Montefiore Hospital following heart complications.
Luis Rojas was born in Moquegua, Peru to Francisca Celia Gonzales De Rojas and Marcos Rojas Salazar on January 28, 1940. He worked at Tracy Towers for over 30 years in boiler engineering. Luis enjoyed soccer, guitar, visiting City Island, and photography.
He is survived by his sons Marcos (Mariah) Rojas, David Rojas, and Christopher Vargas, his brothers Tito Rojas, Jose (Juana) Rojas, Samuel Rojas, along with grandchildren Mileena, Judah, Marcos, Jayden, Genaro, Janelle, David Jr., Brandon, and great-grandchildren Landon, Jayda, and Madelynn, along with many other nieces, and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his mother Francisca, his father Marcos, his brother David, sister Celia, sister Mencia, and nephew Bruce.
Funeral services will be held at Sisto Funeral Home 3489 East Tremont Avenue Bronx, NY 10465. Visitation will be held Friday, November 10, 2023 from 4pm-8pm, with the minister officiating at 6:30pm. All Souls Crematory will prepare his ashes the following day privately.
In final words, Luis was a man who was loved by many and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was a loving Christian who prayed daily and would always express his deep love and affection for his brothers and family. He was soft spoken and gentle. We hold onto the hope that he has gone to be with the Lord, and this gives us peace, although the grief of missing him here will continue on until we see him again.
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father’s house there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” John 14:1-3 NKJV
