On January 19, 2026 we lost the joyful company of Luis A. Rojas at the age of 63. He was born to Ana Carrasquillo and Jose Rojas in Arecibo, Puerto Rico and raised in New York City. He served as a Corporal in the New York State National Guard for six years and retired from the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation after 34 years of service. Blessed with a philanthropic heart Luis was a Freemason at the Pelham Lodge #712 in the Bronx. He moved to Bluffton, SC to enjoy his retirement where he was unable to resist the call to service. To his and our great pride he ultimately became a Staff Sergeant to a platoon of 26 in the South Carolina State Guard. He is survived by his loving family; his wife Elsa, his daughter Isabelle, his sister Yolanda, and his nieces, Mia, Yasmin, and Leena. He was a man who strove to make all those around him comfortable and happy. He is and always will be in our hearts forever. We love you Luis. 

Luis will have two celebrations of life to be held in New York and South Carolina on dates that are to be determined.
