It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Lorenzo "Chemo" Valenzuela, Jr; a beloved husband, son, dad, grandpa, brother, and uncle.
Lorenzo was born on February 12, 1978, to Elsie Fuller and Lorenzo Valenzuela, Sr.
He is survived by his parents; his wife, Vanessa' children, Lorenzo, Christopher, Eric, Tyler, Sabrina, Janissa, and Jasper; granddaughters, Isabella and Nailea; sisters, Kathy, Angela, and Martha (Dennis); and special god-daughter, Adrieanna.
Lorenzo was loves by many. He was a great carpenter and avid Raiders fan. He enjoyed camping with his dad, fishing, hunting, and scratchers. He enjoyed spending time with his kids and granddaughter, Nailea, who was his world. He was a great uncle to many nieces and nephews. He would give you the shirt off his back, and was always helping everyone and feeding the homeless.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Nea and Fred Scates; paternal grandparents, Martina and Lauriano Valenzuela; brother-in-law, Johnny Sanchez; uncles, Larry, Johnny, Tony, Reyes, and his special uncle, Warren, whom he loved and missed very much; cousins, Arthur, Rachanda, and Joseph; and god-parents, Henry and Mary Avalos.
