Louis was born in Cleveland, on November 20, 1976, to Phillip Perez Lara and Oralia Salinas Soliz Lara.  He was a very talented jack of all trades, but he excelled in the skills of carpentry and plumbing. Louis had a contagious smile and loved to make people laugh.  He enjoyed dancing, eating his mom's home cooked meals, wrestling, scoping out Lamborghinis, watching basketball especially his favorite team the Chicago Bulls and his favorite past player Michael Jordan, and spending time with his K-9 companion, Diego. More than anything, he enjoyed spending time with his beloved daughters.
