Louie's obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our dad, Louie Bracamonte, lovingly known as Big Lou, who left us on November 26, 2023.
In memory of our beloved Louie, a memorial service will be held on January 5, 2024, Visitation with family will begin at 9:00 AM followed by the Celebration of life at Refinery West McKinley Church at 10:00 AM. All are welcome to join and honor our BIG LOU.
Born on February 16, 1958, he spent his life touching the hearts of those around him with his caring and joyful personality.
Louie's legacy is built on a foundation of helping others, a trait that was reflected in every aspect of his personal and professional life. His departure is a significant loss not just to his family but also his long-time friends, the wrestling community, and all those who had the privilege of receiving his impeccable brick and tile work.
Louie’s life was a testament to resilience and tenacity. He never let his health issues stop him from doing what needed to be done, or from being of service to anyone he loved.
Louie is survived by his children; son Louie Dominic Bracamonte Jr., daughter Julia Johnson and husband Chad Johnson, and son Paul Bracamonte. He also leaves behind his former wife, Cathy Saavedra, his brother, Joe Bracamonte and wife Liva Bracamonte. His memory will be cherished by his grandchildren Diego and PJ Johnson, Catalina Bracamonte, Amber Ramirez, Devon Dyer, Alexandria Dyer and great-grandson, Legacy Morris, as well as countless nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and their children.
We remember Louie as a figure of strength, warmth, and an irreplaceable presence. He will be greatly missed, yet his spirit will continue to inspire us. Rest in peace, Louie "BIG LOU" Bracamonte.
