Luis Alex Fuentes, 39

January 24, 2025

Luis Alex Fuentes, 39, of Lancaster, PA, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, January 24, 2025. He was the loving son of Felipe Carcamo and Cristina Ferrufino. Affectionately known as “Lu,” Luis was born in Los Angeles, CA, on July 11, 1985, and raised in Lancaster, PA.

Luis attended McCaskey High School and went on to work in a variety of roles throughout his life. He was proud to be a hardworking man, excelling as a chef, a foundry worker, and as a co-owner of a fence installation business with his brother. Luis found joy in a busy day’s work and never shed away from getting his hands dirty.

Luis had a deep love for grilling and barbecuing, often bringing family and friends together with his cooking. He was happiest when surrounded by the people he cared about, sharing stories and laughter. Known for his unique sense of humor and captivating storytelling, Luis had a special way of making people smile and brightening any room he entered. He had a kind, caring heart and always put the needs of others before his own, even in his last days when he was facing his own mental illness.

Luis loved spending time with his dogs and found comfort and joy in their companionship. He appreciated the time and company of others and truly valued the connections he built with those around him. His kindness, selflessness, and unique sense of humor were gifts to everyone who knew him. He also was a proud Mama’s boy.

Luis is survived by his parents, Felipe Carcamo and Cristina Ferrufino of Lancaster, his siblings, Francisco Ferrufino of Lancaster, Scott Morant Jr., Joel Carcamo of New Holland, Elizabeth Carcamo of New Holland, and Erika Carcamo of Lancaster. He also leaves behind his beloved niece and nephews, Londynn Carcamo of Lancaster, Cameron Talton of New Holland, and Johan Carcamo of Lancaster.

A private funeral service to honor Luis’s life will be held on Friday, January 31, 2025, beginning at 11AM at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 2421 Willow Street Pike, Willow Street, PA 17584 for family and close friends. A time of visitation will be held prior beginning at 10AM.

Luis’s smile, humor, and loving spirit will forever live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be deeply missed, but lovingly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

My friend Lu
You always saw the positive in a negative situation, you always had me cracking up and always had great advice to give. I’ll never forget the times you were there for me and I’ll cherish our friendship and memories forever! All our food adventures.. those summer days on your moms porch just talking about figuring life out while we drink our modelos.. my prayers to the whole family and my deepest condolences. I’m so sorry 😞 my heart is so heavy. Love always!

Cool Lou,
  I met Lou over 20 years ago through my cousin Scottie. When I met Lou, I couldn’t help but how quiet he was, complete opposite from me. He was always so respectful, so kind, dependable, loyal, hard-working, and honest. If I ever needed anything, I never had to ask him twice. I’m sure a lot of use can say the same.
I remember us hanging out all the time on Rockland Street at his parents house. We had a lot of good times. From his parents to his siblings, everyone always made me feel at home. I knew right then, they were family to me.  I always knew I had somewhere to go whenever I needed to get away, and I will always cherish that. He would help me with my oldest son sometimes while I ran errands. He was such a genuinely good person that I will truly miss!!
  I know he’s in heaven, at peace now in God’s hands because God knows and sees everything! And Cool Lou not only love the lord, his heart was a heart filled with nothing but love.
To his family, I love y’all, I will continue to keep you in prayer and I’m only a phone call away.
  And to my little cousin Cool Lou, I love you and will hang onto our memories until we meet again! Go Eagles!!!!

 My condolences are with Lu’s family. He was one of a kind and we will never forget that! I’ll never forget the first time meeting Lu when we worked at Ruby Tuesday over 10 years ago! From there we use to hang out all the time go back to the house and watch movies and just talk about life. He was always there for me in the many years I have known him. Lu had such beauty soul and he always listened and never judged. I love you Lu and my you watch over my children and I. Rest up Lu until we see each other again! 🕊️

Lu ……Man… you were the most kindest person with the sweetest soul. You were always the voice of reason. I remember staying over the house on Rockland, which became my second home at one point, and you would come in late and stop in Liz’s room just to talk to us. Liz would vent about mom not letting her do something and you would just tell her “relax, you’ll be ok” lol because it was never that serious. You would stay in the room and kick back on the bed until mom yelled for you to get out lmao. This became a routine. I looked forward to you coming in the room and just talking to us about life. That was the highlight of most of my stays because Liz didn’t have a TV. Lol We always joked Lu. It was nothing but love and laughter. You always asked if I was ok and how I was doing. You never missed a beat. I want to thank you for allowing me to experience a soul like yours. You were amazing. You will never be forgotten!!! 
Love Jaz

RIParadise Gone but never forgotten you will truly be missed 😢😢🕊️🕊️look after your lil bro Jose 😢😢
Psalm 23
 
A psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the
Lord
forever. In Jesus Christ Name Amen
Love  you Always

Luis was one of my first friends and we spent many summers together biking around our neighborhoods in our younger years, which were some of the fondest memories I won’t ever forget. He will be missed by many.
