Louis Arce Sr., a beloved figure whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of many, passed away on March 20, 2025, in Seguin, Texas. Born on January 8, 1935, in New Braunfels, Texas, Louis lived a life characterized by love, compassion, and unwavering dedication to his family and friends.

Louis was known as a very loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His profound affection for his family was evident to all who knew him; he cherished every moment spent with them. Louis had a special talent for making those around him feel at ease, always extending a helping hand or a comforting word whenever it was needed.

Throughout his life, Louis had passions that brought him joy and peace. He loved to go fishing, finding solace in the tranquility of nature. Long walks in the park allowed him to immerse himself in the beauty of the environment, and these simple pleasures were among the many ways he celebrated life.

Louis is survived by his loving children: Gloria Arce, Diane Arce Flores,  Louis Arce Jr.,  Antonio Arce and wife Sylvia, Gerardo Arce and wife Candice, Paul Arce, Rosalinda Arce Valdez and husband Rick, Noel Arce, Marisella Arce, and Gracie Galvan, along with many grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Gregory Arce I and Petra Andrade Arce; his beloved wife, Rosa Arce; and his son, Baby Louis Arce Jr. Louis was also predeceased by his siblings Juan Arce, Alex Arce, Jimmy Arce, and Susie Garza.
