Esequiel was a lifelong resident of Riverside, California. He provided for his family as a construction laborer and painter. When he wasn’t working Zeke loved spending time with his family. He relished the simple pleasures of life and none gave him more pride and joy than being a girl dad to five daughters. Esequiel was a lifelong sports fan and enthusiast. In his younger days he would gather with friends to play softball and on a couple of occasions he played on teams with his brothers Neto and Robert. In his leisure he loved watching local professional sports including the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Lakers. But the one professional sports team he was most passionate about was his beloved Los Angeles Dodgers.
Esequiel was a man of faith, he was a spiritual, good, kind and gentle person who accepted Jesus Christ as his lord and savior in 2003. He remained a faithful and devoted Christian the remainder of his life. He was a wonderful father and brother who will be truly missed.
