August 13, 78, – Luis Angel Nieves, 78, passed away at his home on Thursday, August 13, 2026. Born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, on August 21, 1947, he was the son of the late Simón Nieves and Antonia Del Rio Nieves.
Luis is survived by his loving wife, Wanda Pecunia Nieves; daughters, Wanda Stephenson (Scott), Aixa Kimes (James), and Cristina Nieves; and grandchildren, Alexandra Kimes, Garrett Kimes, Gabrielle Stephenson, and Whitley Stephenson.
Luis proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for 20 years, dedicating two decades of his life to military service. His discipline, dedication, and sense of duty stayed with him long after he hung up his uniform.
Following his military career, Luis shared his knowledge and experience as an instructor at Wayne Community College, where he touched the lives of many students who passed through his classroom.
Outside of his professional life, Luis was a man of many passions. He was an avid domino player, always ready for a good game with friends and family. Music was another of his great loves. He appreciated all genres, but he especially enjoyed salsa music, and he could often be found tapping his feet or dancing along to a good rhythm.
Above all else, Luis cherished his family. His love for them was the center of his life, and he will be remembered for the warmth, laughter, and devotion he brought to every family gathering.
Luis will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. He leaves behind a legacy of service, dedication, and love that will not be forgotten.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association, P.O. Box 96011, Washington, DC 20090-6011 in memory of Luis.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Seymour Funeral Home.
