I still remember that goofy Efren from high school. He was always there to help anyone in need and wanted everyone to feel included. He was the kid that you knew was a "true" person and you could see God in his soul. Bless to Efren's family as this will be a long and tired road ahead.

May you forever rest in peace.

Stephanie, we chatted across the fence occasionally and I could tell that you and Efren were good neighbors as well as good people. I never realized, however, what a great man he was until I read some of the tributes to him. He will surely be missed by his family and all his friends. May his soul rest in peace.

I first met Efren back when he about ten years old when I was the new kid on the block. I remember sitting on my stairs when he was the first kid to ask me if I wanted to play with him and his brothers. I was fortunate enough to have spent time with Efren and his great family.
