The Bakersfield Californian 
Louis Chavez Sr.
Sept. 21, 1926 Dec. 6, 2004

Louie went to be with the Lord on December 6, 2004. Born in Loving, New Mexico 
to Adelaida and Abel Chavez. Daddy is preceded in death by his parents, 
sisters, Beatrice Chavez, Celia Rea, Micaela Rodriguez, Eva Gonzalez, brother, 
Tony Chavez and son, Lulu. Daddy is survived by his loving wife, Gloria; 
brother, Gilbert Chavez and sister-in-law, Alvesa; sister-in-law, Bertha 
Chavez; by his children, Maria E. Chavez, Michael Canchola, Debra Chavez, 
Steve Chavez and daughter-in-law, Alma, Susie Barron and son-in-law, Oscar 
Sr., Louis Chavez Jr. and daughter-in-law, Tirsa; nine grandchildren, Beatrice 
and Misha, Sophia and Carlos, Josh, Oscar Jr., Stephanie, Manuel and Alyssa; 5 
great-grandsons, Roman, Andrew, Isaac, Jacob and Xavier and numerous nephews 
and nieces who were the apples of his eye. 

Daddy served in WWII in the Army. Upon his return, he worked for Golden Crust 
Bakery for 21 years. He retired from the US Postal Service after 20 years of 
service due to his health. Daddys life was changed in 1970 when he accepted 
the Lord Jesus Christ. He served and loved the Lord through his teaching of 
the word, Sunday School and Bible studies, and his thirst to read The Word. 
Daddys love for the Lord was shared with whoever would listen. He shared his 
love of painting by instructing quadriplegic patients at a convalescent home. 
Daddy was known by the family as the soup maker extraordinaire. He loved to 
cook, eat and share a meal with family and friends. Daddy always welcomed the 
stranger and the needy. He loved old movies and sang to Frank Sinatra. Through 
Daddys illness, his faithfulness and love of life was inspirational to all who 
met him. Daddys zest for life and incredible sense of humor will be greatly 
missed. A huge void will be left by Daddys passing. He was loved by All!

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the staff of 
Bakersfield Dialysis, Tri County Transportation, the doctors of Kaiser and a 
special thanks to Pat Dorsey of Kaiser.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Trinity United Methodist 
Church.
