Tribute Page for Luis Jimenez

Luis Jimenez

Family Tribute:

My adorable son Luigi,

They say that you are dead, perhaps to see me cry, but because I have not seen your body in a coffin nor in a cemetery where I can pray for you, I think that you are on a long journey and that one day you will come back to us.

Pa
Luis Jimenez, Sr

My dear son Luigi:

Since this fatal day of September 11, 2001 which has tragically affected my life, I’ve been very sad. Son, I cry for you every day and I still maintain the belief that one day you will return to your home and our family will once again be complete. I always keep your bedroom the same way you last left it and I keep a fresh batch of flowers in your room and clean it frequently. I keep you in my prayers and ask GOD to keep you in peace.

Luis Jimenez was my older brother for 24 years…now I’m 25 and my first birthday without Lou was a hard one. Luis Jimenez was an accountant for MMC for 2 years. He graduated from Queens College University in 1998. He was a role model for a lot of people like his 3 nephews, niece, ma, pa, al, his girlfriend, Ralph, Mo, Dino, The weasel (Ralphs little brother), Rey Rock, Henry, and I. Half of me died September 11. I remember when we were small how we used to say that we were the Zartan twins in G.I Joe. The reason being because when you would hit one of them the other would react like he was getting hit too. We only had one fight and that was when we were young, he gave me a drop kick off the bed that left a scare on my lip. Thanks Lou for that!!!!!

“Luigi” that’s what we called him in the house, loved baseball since he was a kid. He played third base for MMC and also with me this past year. Luigi also loved wrestling. Anything you need to know, he would know from his sources and you would always catch him home eating his gummy fruits, chips, and grapes ready to watch Monday Night Raw.

Luis will always be remembered and his ways and will always shine threw his friends and family until the day we meet again brotha, we will always mourn you till we join you!!! #1 Brother

My Unlce Luis,

He was a very important person in my life, because I truly looked up to him. I alwayz though he had a perfect life because of his life-style, he never had any real problems or any fights that I notice. He was alwayz there for me and I could talk to him about anything. And I remember one day he came up to me while I was watching TV and he asked me for advise on playing the field and batting. So since I play baseball I gave him that advise, and that night he asked me if I wanted to play on his softball team and I said "yes" that is 1 of my favorite memories.

HE will never be forgotten, and alwayz loved

I love u Unlce Lu, your nephew AJ, I pray 4 u!!!!

I never knew Luigi Jimenez but surprizingly I came across this page because I just saw the movie World Trade Center and mistakenly put in the name Will Jimenez in the browser and Luigi's picture popped up. The correct name from the movie I should have put in the browser was Will Jimeno. I also got a chill because his picture(with gotee) looked alot like the actor in the movie. So I had to write.

Regardless, it is 6 years later and the lasting effects of this day does not let me go. I didnt have any colleagues or family or friends that perished that day but I can tell you that for 6 months I cried and was very depressed. I guess because I cannot believe that humans can be this cruel to one another even from across the globe. My prayers were with all families that day forward and still are today. I fear for humanity. I fear for the children's future.

My wife, who is a very special caring person cannot watch movies or documentaries on the subject of 9/11 because it makes her tremendously sad. Even though I personally suffered depression from the effects of this day I feel it would be an insult if we don't learn as much as there is to learn and see about the thousands of things that we haven't even learned about that happened that day. There were so many simultaneous stories that occurred that day. I believe it would be an insult to those who perished memories, on that day, if we don't remember and watch and read every story that transpired. I beleive that this could have happened to any one of us and feel deep sorrow that it happened to your family and families like yours.

Even though I felt sadness, I also felt hatred towards those who would want to torture people that they don't even know. I just can't understand that frame of thought.

The people I did know that had business in those towers luckily escaped except for one client stockbroker who was seeking to be resecued from the roof of the north tower.

I write to as many families that cross my path that I see on the internet and today it was Luigi's memory.

It is rather surreal of the coincidence of how I came to see his picture when plugging in another WTC incident victim into the browser. And how they both look similar as well.

When things like this happen I question whether there is a God and how he can let this happen.

I will always remember.

Wow....6 years later...!!! I personally knew Luis. He was one of my clients when I was working as a Manager in an internet travel agency. Boy, those many trips we have taken. Luis was (and is in many of our hearts) a great person with a great big personality. He reminds me of me...LOL! He always knew how to put that big smile on your face....And come to see....he is gone. Til this day, I think about him dearly. I could never forget that day. He was the first person I was calling to find out his status. It broke my heart...and still breaks. I send my condolences to his family and friends, that he loved and held dearly. He will forever be in our hearts. I love you, Luis....even though I never said it....you know, buddy!!!

Wow... I came across this page today looking for something, not knowing what... As soon I saw Luis' smile - my God - a flood of memories open up. I know there isnt much I can say that hasnt been said about you. You are truly something special and you've had an incredible impact on so many people. You are missed everyday and I know one day we'll get to chill, catch up and reminisce. You are always in my prayers and thoughts. Continue with that enormous smile...

Your friend,

Amy Fernandez
