Buckeye, Arizona - Epolito 'Paul' Esquivel, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on September 18, 2024. He is survived by his four beautiful daughters—Norma, Nora, Nina and Nadine Esquivel—as well as 17 grandchildren: Shane, Shawn, Serenity, Kiauna, Sofia, Akiera, Lilith, Xander, Nicholas, Dominic, Lilyauna, Gabriel, Mia, Jordan, Jasmyn, Easton and one on the way, and their mother. Paul was also a cherished brother to 13 siblings and uncle to their many children, all of whom will deeply miss his presence and warmth.

Paul was a man of humble beginnings, rooted in the values of a hardworking family. Salt of the earth, he carried himself with quiet pride, never boastful but always grounded. Whether ranching or driving a semi, Paul was never afraid to get his hands dirty. He approached life by embracing hard work with a smile and a steady hand.

Though he wasn't the type to seek attention, Paul had a way of filling a room with his laughter and booming voice, which carried far and wide.

Even if he may not have realized the extent of his impact on those who knew him, his example of resilience, generosity, and humility was deeply felt. His life served as a quiet reminder of the strength found in simple virtues: hard work and love for family.

Paul's legacy will live on in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to know him.

He will be profoundly missed. May he rest in peace.
