Jesus (Chuy) S. Avila-Hernandez

July 15, 2005 - January 11, 2021

Jesus S. (Chuy) Avila Hernandez was born on July 15, 2005 in Salt Lake City Utah, to parents Salvador Avila Casanova and Liliana Hernandez Manrique. Chuy grew up in West Valley City/Kearns area. He was a kind-hearted boy who could light up a room when he entered. A few of his favorite things were Vintage automobiles, fishing and sports. He was a huge L.A. Lakers fan, and Barcelona was his favorite soccer team. He was also learning to play the guitar. Even in his suffering he had a way of making people smile and laugh. Chuy wanted to take care of all his loved ones. He was such a noble young man; and there are few kids like him, who can remain happy and positive with his condition. A few years ago Chuy got very sick and he has battled his condition the last four years of his young life. The strength he showed everyone as he got up everyday with a smile on his face was amazing. Chuyy was a fighter, he surpassed the life expectancy given by experts and fought until the end. At the age of 15, on January 11, 2021, our good Lord called him home and our sweet Chuy received his wings. Gone are the days of worry, gone are the days of pain, he has become our angel up in heaven. He is loved by so many and will remain in our hearts with thoughts of happiness and good memories. Though Chuy is in heaven, he will always be rembered. Chuy is survived by his mom and dad, Liliana & Salvador; his sisters, Kayla and Kiki and their little dog, Mimi, among many Aunts uncles and cousins.
