Andrew De La Paz

Andrew was born on May 3, 2005, to Eddie De La Paz and Regina Gonzales. He was born and raised in Hobbs, New Mexico until the age of 12. He then moved to Lubbock, Texas where he lived his remaining years. Andrew went on to be with our Lord and Savior at the young age of 19 on June 13th, 2024.

Although Andrews life was taken so soon, he made amazing friends who later became like family. He loved to joke around, be a goofball and make people laugh. He lit up every room he walked in to until his last day on earth. There is no doubt that Andrew left his mark and made an impact on everyone's life that knew him.
