David Luna passed away on Monday, June 24, 2024, in Stockton, California at the age of 91. He was born on May 31, 1933 in Juarez, Mexico to the late Asuncion and Maria Luisa Luna. David was preceded in death by Evangelina Luna, his loving wife of 51 years, and his daughter, Diana Luna. He is survived by his loving children: Fernando (Linda) Luna, Graciela (Randy) Luna-Sanchez, Edward (Gina) Luna, Alberto (Rhonda) Luna, and David (Elsa) Luna, Jr.; along with 32 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren, and 10 great-great grandchildren. He was a deeply loved and respected brother to 13 siblings, a devoted father, and loving grandfather and great-grandfather.
David worked at the Stockton Record for 28 years until his retirement. He was known as a hard-working man, providing all he could for his family. He was deeply devoted to his family and taught his children the importance of hard work by teaching them how to fix and build and providing them experiences of working the fields during summers and breaks from school.
The family will forever cherish and remember David’s love of singing, specifically Mariachi music, with special performances at birthday parties, wedding celebrations and at local Mexican restaurants joining in with the Mariachi groups. He also sang in the choir at St. Gertrudes Church.
All services for David Luna will be private. He will be laid to rest next to his beloved wife at Cherokee Memorial Park.
