Luis Lazarde, Sr.
In Loving Memory of Luis Lazarde Sr.
April 6, 1962 – September 25, 2025
With reverence and love, we honor the life of Luis Lazarde Sr., son of the late Maria Mercedes Matos. He walked this earth with a grace and strength that lifted everyone around him.
To his sons — Luis A. Lazarde Jr., Jonathan I. Lazarde, Christian L. Lazarde, Brandon D. Lazarde — his daughter Maria M. Lazarde , and his eighteen beloved grandchildren, he was more than a father and grandfather. He was Pop — their protector, their teacher, their king.
Pop’s presence was greater than titles, higher than crowns. To his family, he was larger than life itself — a guiding star, an angel among men, a soul whose love carried the weight of heaven. His laughter shone brighter than gold, his kindness was mightier than any throne, and his spirit was divine in its purity.
Though he has ascended from this world, his reign of love will never end. Pop’s legacy lives eternal — not in monuments of stone, but in the hearts of his children, his grandchildren, and all who were blessed to stand in his light.
Forever exalted. Forever remembered.
— The Lazarde Family

Lou, always welcomed us with open arms. Always with a smile on his face. I’ve never seen him frown. He will truly and deeply be missed. We will keep his memory alive. He loved my husband like his own son.
Our condolences to the family
Sorry for your lost. God bless you and your family.
I really met you a few times with my father, Orlando Aguayo up in the northeast, You welcomed me in your home with warmth and love. You’ll forever missed. I wish I had more time with you. REST IN PEACE BIG CUZ LARZARDE
I appriciate the time knowing him even though it was a short time. He use to come to my GameStop all the time and we use to just talk about random stuff. It’s only been a year but he made an impact on my life. I can’t believe you won’t be here anymore. My heart and prayers go out to his family. May you rest in peace my friend 🙏
My heart goes out to All of the Lazarde family. To my nephews Lewis Jr and Jonathan, my heart is broken. I will always remember your father as being one of the bravest men I knew growing up in Philly. HE LOVED YOU GUYS DEARLY. May God embrace him eternally as he is received into our heavenly Father’s arms. I TRULY AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. ✝️🕊️💔🙏 ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS.
My dearest brother in Heaven, I will always remember you as I grew up playing baseball with you. Saw you grow in many ways, you were a Great Human being. You never looked at my flaws and always welcomed me with open arms. You tried to be the best you can but many times was misunderstood but, life goes on and I surly will missed you, bro.
To my friend in heaven.
Losing you is my biggest heartbreak for this year. I wasn’t even prepared for it, and will never be. The thought of not seeing you, hearing you, and talking to you again is like a deep stab in my heart. I want you to be in peace, but it’s hard not to think about you. No matter what I do, I can still hear your laugh in my head.
All of our shared memories just keep on flashing back, as if I click the replay button in my brain. If only I knew that you’d be gone, I should have hugged you for a long time when we last saw each other. It’s very painful, not just for me, but also to the people that also loved and cherished you. I hope you’ll find peace with Him. I will never ever forget about you. I love you! Until we meet again, my friend🕊️💔🕊️
My Condolences to the family, Luis Lazarde and I were teenager friends we meet at a baseball field in Hunting Park playing against each other a year later we were team mates at Olney High School and became good friends as adults we both joined the Philadelphia Police Department and we when different ways but did continue to reach out either getting together with a group of high school friends for dinner or watching sports last time I had a conversation with Luis he told me that he had a minor stroke and that he was going to spend some time with his Son until he’s Recovered. Luis Lazarde will be missed by his family and friends may you Rest In Peace my friend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My heart goes out to My nephew’s, Lewis Jr, and Jonathan. I remember how much your father really loved you and how he protected his family before anything else. I’M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. You are in my heart and in my prayers. May the Lord receive him and keep him.

You left us so sudden 😢 now with a void, I can only cherish those memories we build together playing baseball. You were my Hero and Role Modle. You always encourage me to push. You never gave up on me in my worst of times. I love you Cuz, Forever
Dear pop,
As I sit down to right this, I’m overwhelmed by the sadness of your passing. It feels surreal, and my heart aches with this lost and the last few days, I found myself reflecting deeply on my childhood, on all the moments we shared that shaped me into who I am today. You were the man who raised me as a child; the steady presence in my life. You attended every sporting event, cheered me on with a warm smile. Our times spent outdoors playing and speaking to eachother daily. Our memories I cherish deeply. You never judged me, instead, you listened quietly, offering me wisdom in gentle ways. As an adult, your love remained unwavering. You accepted my choices without judgement. Always providing a safe space for me to express myself and a door that was always opened. I will always love you for that. I regret that you didn’t have the chance to get to watch my children fully grow. I promise to ensure they know how much you loved them. I want you to be remembered as a kind and compassionate man you were. Your kindness made a difference in my life and those around you. It pains me to realize the struggles you faced, the demons you battled in silence. I wish you had felt to share that pain with me. I’m grateful for the story’s I learned about you in your passing but I will always hold close the memories I had as your little boy. Thank you for everything pop. Your love will continue to guide me, and your spirit will continue to live on in my children. I hope you find peace. With all my love.
your son, Luis Jr 💔💯💙💪🔐😔
I love you pop! You know how tight we are. Like a knot. Just can’t separate us. Forever in my heart. We ride together, we die together,
