Quisiera primeramente dejarle saber que Estevan sera sumamente extrañado. Ha sido una bendicion haberlo conocido. Mi suplicacion al Señor es que el les de a usted y a su familia la fuerza y el consuelo necesario para sobrepasar esta etapa de sus vidas. Estevan ha dejado una marca en los corazones de muchos. Que Dios me los bendiga

chavez family, first of all i would like to give you my deepest condolences, Pie was like a brother to me. I feel honored to have worked with him and had him as my partner at work for almost seven years. He was truly one of Chicagos finest police officers, I will miss him for the rest of my life. However, I know that he will always be with me in spirit while patrolling the streets making sure that i'm safe.

a friend forever

Something must be wrong with me

with all this hurt inside,

always bursting with anger,

and losing my pride.



Something must be wrong with me

if all I do is cry,

I can't stop this pain

all I want to do is die.



Something must be wrong with me

if my emotions run wild,

all this confusion does

is make me feel like a lost child.



Something must be wrong with me

with all these terrible things,

always there and never gone

depression is what it brings.



Something must be wrong with me

if I can't stop these thoughts,

all this pain does

is turn my stomach in knots.



Something is truly wrong with me

when I think there's only one way out,

"Let this pain end,"

is all my heart will shout.
