It is with heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Diego Estrada Gideon, a beloved father, boyfriend, son, brother, and friend, on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at the age of 25. His sudden departure has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew him.

Diego was known for his love of life, his passion for fishing, and the unwavering devotion he had for his family. As a father, he was deeply committed to his child Ezekiel “Bug”, and as a boyfriend, he shared a love that was immeasurable to Tianna Garcia. His family meant the world to him, and he spent countless hours showing them how much he cared, always ready to lend a helping hand, offer words of encouragement, or simply share a good laugh.

Fishing was one of Diego's greatest joys. He found peace by the water, whether he was casting a line in quiet reflection or sharing the experience with his loved ones. His love for his family was evident in every action, and he made it a point to put them first in everything he did.

A dedicated and hardworking man, Diego served as a foreman at Transit Mix, where he was respected by all who worked alongside him. His strong work ethic and leadership made him an invaluable member of the team, and he took great pride in his job and his role in the company.

Diego shared a unique and unbreakable bond with his best friend Isaiah (Destiny), who was like a brother to him. Their friendship was one of love, laughter, and support through the highs and lows of life.

Diego was honored to be the Godfather to Amias. He adored the bond he held with his best friend Nico (Divinitty). Their friendship was a brother love.

He was also the beloved son of Angela and Luis Hernandez, father Alejandro. He leaves behind his siblings Sabrena, Faith, Jason, Damian, Lilo & Alejandra who will forever carry the memory of his love, guidance, and friendship.

Diego was reunited with his beloved brother, Issac Estrada, and his treasured grandmother, Elaine Gideon, both of whom had passed before him. While their absence left a void in his heart, their memory remained alive in his spirit and the stories he shared.

In addition to his parents and siblings, Diego is survived by his grandparents, Gerardo and Graciela Estrada, who were a source of great strength and wisdom in his life. His extended family and countless friends will also miss him dearly.

Diego will be remembered for his infectious laughter, his generosity, and his deep love for those who were fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of love, hard work, and devotion will live on through his child, family, and friends.
