Alonso Luna Obituary

Alonso Luna Soto  1955– 2026

Alonso Luna Soto, age 70, from Rancho Nuevo, GTO Mexico passed away on Friday, March 13, 2026. He was surrounded by the immense love of his family, departing exactly as he had wished.

Alonso’s life was defined by the earth he worked and the family he grew. After immigrating from Mexico, he dedicated himself to providing a better life for those he loved. Though he faced the  loss of his mother at a young age, he transformed that loss into a lifetime of giving and learning how to nurture. He will be remembered for his unwavering resiliency, giving heart strong will and a great sense of humor that could light up any room.

Alonso was the husband of Maria Luz Aguado, with whom he shared 51 beautiful years of marriage. Together, they built a foundation  that will sustain his legacy: his loving daughters, Delia Luna (Hugo Ramirez) and Elena Luna (Jose de Jesus Magallanes); and his unwavering son, Alonzo (Olga Valladolid) Luna Jr. 

His greatest joy and truest form of self-expression was his passion for gardening, which he treated as his personal fine art. He found deep fulfillment in planting seeds in the soil, nurturing them as they grew, and harvesting the food they produced. Whether at his own home or surprising his children with unexpected additions to their gardens, he went to extraordinary lengths—any day of the week—to ensure every plant received proper care. The more abundant the harvest, the greater his excitement and happiness, fueling a quiet, profound contentment that defined him.

He was the adoring grandfather to eight grandchildren who were the pride of his life: Antonio Magallanes, Eric Ramirez, Monica  Magallanes, Arianna Magallanes, Citlali Luna, Isaac Luna, Alexandra Magallanes, and Xavier Luna.

Alonso is also survived by his siblings: sisters Josefina (Luna) and Lucia (Luna) Rosas; and brothers Abel Luna Soto, Carlos Luna Soto, Mayolo Luna Soto, and Juan Villagomez Soto, along with many aunts , uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, Audelia Soto Piña and Juan Luna Rodriguez.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at 10:00 am at St. Casimir Church, 4340 Johnson Ave., (Cameron Avenue at Huehn Street, Hammond, Indiana with Rev. Eduardo Malagon officiating.  Burial to follow at St. John Cemetery, Hammond, Indiana.  Visitation at the FIFE FUNERAL HOME, 4201 Indianapolis Blvd., East Chicago, IN will be on Friday, March 20, 2026 from 4:00 to 8:00 pm and on Saturday, March 21, 2026 from 9:00 am to 9:30 am.

Alonso Luna Soto, de 70 años de edad de Rancho Nuevo , GTO Mexico, falleció el viernes 13 de marzo de 2026. Estuvo rodeado por el inmenso amor de su familia, partiendo exactamente como él lo había deseado.

La vida de Alonso estuvo definida por la tierra que trabajó y la familia que formó. Tras emigrar de México, se dedicó a brindar una vida mejor a aquellos que amaba. Aunque enfrentó la pérdida de su madre a una edad temprana, transformó esa pérdida en toda una vida de entrega y de aprendizaje sobre el arte de cuidar y nutrir. Será recordado por su inquebrantable resiliencia, su corazón generoso, su fuerte voluntad y un gran sentido del humor capaz de iluminar cualquier habitación.

Alonso fue el esposo de María Luz Aguado, con quien compartió 51 hermosos años de matrimonio. Juntos construyeron un cimiento que sostendrá su legado: sus amorosas hijas, Delia Luna (Hugo Ramírez) y Elena Luna (José de Jesús Magallanes); y su incondicional hijo, Alonzo Luna Jr.

Su mayor alegría y su más auténtica forma de autoexpresión fue su pasión por la jardinería, la cual trataba como su propia obra de arte. Encontraba una profunda plenitud al sembrar semillas en la tierra, cuidarlas mientras crecían y cosechar los alimentos que producían. Ya fuera en su propio hogar o sorprendiendo a sus hijos con nuevas y inesperadas adiciones a sus jardines, se esforzaba extraordinariamente —cualquier día de la semana— para asegurar que cada planta recibiera el cuidado adecuado. Cuanto más abundante era la cosecha, mayor era su entusiasmo y felicidad, alimentando así una serena y profunda satisfacción que lo definía.

Fue el abnegado abuelo de ocho nietos que constituyeron el orgullo de su vida: Antonio Magallanes, Eric Ramírez, Monica Magallanes, Arianna Magallanes, Citlali Luna, Isaac Luna, Alexandra Magallanes y Xavier Luna.

A Alonso también le sobreviven sus hermanos: sus hermanas Josefina (Luna) y Lucia (Luna) Rosas; y sus hermanos Abel Luna Soto, Carlos Luna Soto, Mayolo Luna Soto y Juan Villagómez Soto; junto con muchos tíos, primos, sobrinos y amigos.

Le precedieron en la muerte sus padres, Audelia Soto Piña y Juan Luna Rodríguez. Información de los servicios
