Louis Alfonso Maes

November 21, 2020

Louis Alfonso Maes, 82, of Pueblo, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on November 21, 2020. He was surrounded by his loving wife and immediate family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Gabriel Maes and Victoria (Martinez) Maes; and brothers, Mike and David Maes. Louis is survived by his wife of 62 years, Ernestine Maes; children, Victoria Maes, Sally Maes, Ernie Maes, Donna Maes, Louis Maes Jr., Theresa Maes, Lori Maes and Alvino Maes; 23 grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren; sisters, Sara Trujillo and Carlota Romero; numerous nieces and nephews. Louie was born in El Carmel, New Mexico on August 2, 1938 and spent most of his life in Pueblo, Colorado. He was wed to his wife Ernestine on January 27, 1958 and they spent 62 wonderful years together. He worked with Montano Concrete for over 35 years and showed superior craftsmanship in his trade. He then passed down his skills and hard work ethic to his sons. Louie enjoyed fishing the lakes and rivers of both Colorado and Wyoming and working on his trucks and cars. He enjoyed trips to Cripple Creek with his wife Ernestine and playing cards with his family and close friends. He enjoyed listening to music and always joking with his family about the Broncos. You could always catch him saying “turn off the lights, the party’s over” whenever they would lose a game. He however, loved watching boxing and of course his “luchas” until the end. Louis will be sadly missed and always loved by his family and those who knew him best.
