Ivan Ariel Aguirre, 20, passed away on Monday, November 11, 2019 at the Greek Leadership Village on the campus of Arizona State University. He was born on December 9, 1998 in Phoenix, Arizona to AJ and Velvet Aguirre.
He was a graduate of Brophy College Preparatory and a student at Arizona State University. He was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He was a brother and friend to all.
Ivan’s enthusiasm was unmatched. His smile and laughter would brighten the room.
Ivan was loved by everyone he knew. His lighthearted spirit and comedic charm were remarkably magnetic. His love for music and dancing is unforgettable. We will never listen to our favorite songs the same again.
He inspired every person he encountered; his memory will never be forgotten.
He is survived by his parents, AJ and Velvet Aguirre, and his younger siblings, Gabby and Sam Aguirre.
Ivan’s Funeral Mass will be held Saturday, November 16th, 2019 at 9:30 AM at Brophy Chapel, 4701 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, where all are welcome to come and celebrate the life of our dear friend and brother. Condolences may be expressed at www.whitneymurphyfuneralhome.com
