Jorge Eufemia

Born in Los Angles August 27th 1973
He went on to the Next life on March 25th 2003

He was born in LA
Moved to Houston Texas for a year when he was 3 years old.
Grew up into a strong young man in Manhattan New York (from 1979-1989).
He and his family returned to Los Angeles
In the summer of 1989.
He met Rosa, the love of his life on Maripossa Street in 1990.

And latter about the age of 20 he finished and received his High School diploma through a program of self-study.

He was always a man of action
He loved sports: Hockey and Basketball, Riding BMX bikes and Skate Boarding.

He loved art and Music: He collected comic books, Japanese animation, and Science Fiction movies; He liked a wide range of Rock music from the Cranberries to Metalica to Mana

He was very skilled at drawing and painting. These gifts were respected and cherished by his family!!!
On some occasions he was employed to paint murals.

You would never question the strength of his mind if you had the chance to play chess with him.

He was clever, funny, and not afraid of expressing his love for his wife, his mother and family openly and often.


His precious life was cut short…
For this we cry out to God

And we commit ourselves to support his immediate family…

He is survived by:

Barbara his sister
And the rest of his family

I was looking for my childhood friend, Jorge Eufemia, on facebook, but to my sadness, I find out that he passed away nearly ten years ago.

John, thank you for sharing this Eulogy. You described Jorge very well. Him and I met in Los Angeles due to the freaky coincidence. We recognized each other because we both grew up in New York City (Washington Heights/Inwood area).

We were best friends until he went back to New York. However, I lost contact with him in 1991 when I left for college.

This is depressing that he left this earth so soon leaving his son fatherless. He was a loving guy. It is just so sad that he chose the gang life.

Thanks again for sharing.
