We announce the passing of
Luis Enrique Pagan, a beloved son, father, and friend, who left us too soon on
April 23, 2026, at the age of 55. Born on November 6, 1970, in the city
of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Luis was a beacon of joy and resilience who touched
the lives of everyone he met with his infectious smile and kind spirit. Luis
was the cherished son of Jolinda Ovalle and was predeceased by his father, Luis
Antonio Pagan, whose memory he held dear throughout his life. He is survived by
his beloved son, Luis Alejandro Pagan. Luis’s legacy will live on through his son, who
embodies his father’s strong values and love for life. Luis's educational
journey began at Colegio Pentecostal Mizpa in San Juan, where he completed 18
credit hours, demonstrating a commitment to learning and self-improvement. He
went on to earn his GED, a testament to his determination and perseverance.
Professionally, Luis found his calling as an elevator technician, a career that
allowed him to combine his technical skills with his passion for helping
others. He dedicated many years to Otis Elevator Company and the New York City
Housing Authority, where he was known not only for his expertise but also for
his unwavering dedication and integrity. His colleagues remember him as a
dependable and warm-hearted individual who always went the extra mile to ensure
the safety and satisfaction of those he served. Beyond his professional life,
Luis was a man who truly loved life and took every opportunity to find
happiness. His zest for life was evident in his every action, whether he was
sharing a hearty laugh with friends or enjoying the simple pleasures of
everyday life. Luis’s presence brought warmth and joy to all who knew him, and
his ability to find joy in the little things was an inspiration to many. A
celebration of Luis's life will be held on May 23, 2026, at 4:00 PM. We will
gather to remember the incredible man he was and the indelible mark he left on
our hearts. While we mourn the loss of Luis, we also celebrate the beautiful
life he led and the love he shared with those around him. Luis Enrique Pagan will be deeply missed, but his spirit will
live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him. May he rest
in peace, surrounded by the love and joy he gave so freely in life
