Surrounded by his wife and children, José Luis Sedano Mendoza died in Orland on Saturday, November 30, 2024. He was born in El Salitre, Jalisco, Mexico, to Eliodoro Sedano and Carlota Mendoza on December 5, 1950.
He lived in Jalisco, where he met his wife, Araceli Flores. They married in 1974.
The couple came to the United States in 1975 for opportunities and to start their family. They arrived in Hamilton City, and in 1988, they moved to Orland, where they remained and made their hometown.

Luis was known for making friendships everywhere he went, but his unique passion for music and singing set him apart. If you knew Luis, you knew of his adoration for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
His family was his love, pride, and joy. His loved ones agree that “Tu’Pa will be missed.”
