Sgt Luis Alberto Tafoya has left this earth. Not of his own volition. A tragic accident took him from us this last July 5th, 2024. He is survived by his wife and children and all of his band students from Southern California. If you knew him, please reach out privately, and I will do my best to assist you in whatever information you may need. Semper Fidelis Marines."
Luis’s legacy will live on through the love and joy he brought to his family, friends, and students. His community will remember him as a devoted father, a passionate educator, and a proud Marine.
