September 7, 1970 �" August 6, 2013
Jose Luis Iturio Hernandez, known as Luis, succumbed to the rare autoimmune disorder HLH on August 6, 2013 in Palm Springs, California as he awaited a bone marrow transplant. Luis was born September 7, 1970 in Cuernavaca, Mexico. After moving to San Francisco from Orange County in 2001, Luis established his home renovation business, Golden Renovations, where he showcased his amazing construction and design skills.
Luis constantly had an infectious smile, witty humor, and a positive attitude that would light up any room he entered. Luis enjoyed the nightlife of the Castro and the Mission; he loved to dance the night away and made many friends in San Francisco. He had relocated to Palm Springs in early 2013 since he craved the warmth and sun of the desert.
Luis is survived by his faithful Jack Russell terrier, Ditto; his wife; along with his mother, sister, and nephew in Mexico.
