On Pentacost Sunday, May 31, 2020, Alexis Omar Luevano, loving son, wonderful brother, playful uncle and godfather, returned to his heavenly home, after a weeklong valiant battle with heart failure in Austin, Texas. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace.

Alexis had a passion for life and a love for Starbucks. He loved to dance. He loved music and travel. He loved to write and his words always struck a chord. He loved nature. He loved his family, his friends and God. His laugh was infectious, his brilliant humor like none other. To know Alexis was to love him. Alexis was a bright light in a dark room.
