Obituary of Salomon Esparza

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Salomon Esparza, 59, of Blue Island, on January 26, 2025. A devoted father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, neighbor, and friend, Salomon was a person whose bright spirit touched the lives of everyone around him.

Salomon was born on September 28, 1965 in Mexico to the late Jesus and Alicia Esparza.  He is the loving father of Jessi and Angel and the proud grandfather of three.  Salomon is the dear brother of Rigoberto (Esmeralda), Leopoldo (Veronica), Edmundo, Humberto, Hugo, the late Hector, and Andriana (Angel).  He is the cherished uncle to 15 nieces and nephews.  Salomon leaves many other family members to cherish his memory.

Salomon worked for the City of Blue Island where he was always willing to help wherever he was needed. His infectious smile, enormous heart, and upbeat attitude were a constant source of light to those he encountered on a daily basis. No matter the day or the circumstance, Salomon had a way of making the hardest day feel a little brighter. He never hesitated to share his time, skills, or kindness with others – his generous nature knew no bounds.

Above all, Salomon was a loving family man. His children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, and parents were his world, and he took great pride in supporting them with everything he had. His love for his family was evident in every action, every word, and every smile. Salomon will be missed beyond measure by his family, friends, nieces, nephews, neighbors, coworkers and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
