“LOVE IS THE GREATEST GIFT HE GAVE TO US ALL.”

— Emilia Sugiyama

“Lullaby For Estevan”
Composed and performed by Zach Southall

Estevan Kane Sugiyama left this world unexpectedly, but his extraordinary life continues to inspire all who knew him. In his short time with us, Estevan exemplified joy, strength of character, and the profound impact one person can make. His legacy is not one of sorrow but one of inspiration—a testament to living with love, courage, and integrity. Though Estevan has departed, his light continues to shine brightly in the hearts of those he touched, guiding us to honor his memory through how we choose to live each day.

#LONGLIVEESTEVAN

Whenever Martin and I were gathering to meet with your family, the first words out of our mouth were: “I hope Estevan is there too.” Estevan would always go out of his way to make sure he said hello to Martin and I and the first thing Martin would do is look for Estevan. Even when he was very little Estevan understood people, was interested genuinely in what they were thinking and so caring. And so amazing even still, we are among your “older senior'“ friends. Our “senior” friends was no deterrence to Estevan at all. He especially like to practice his Spanish with Martin which of course, Martin adored!

Estevan is a gift and will always be treasured by us and forever in our memories.

From the moment we met Estevan, we were struck by how much of a gentleman he was and such a bright, young man. He was delightful to spend time with and always cheerful and kind. We will miss him.

Estevan would take me fishing in Broadmoor Lake. When I was 9 years old and he was 13, one day I was really hungry while fishing. Estevan put down his fishing pole and rushed off to Pacific Ranch Market to grab some BBQ ribs for me! He was so kind to me. My fishing brother.
