He was a graduate of Newbury Park High School and Moorpark College, and was employed by GIORGIO of Los Angeles as a promotion designer when illness forced an early retirement.

Friends and family will remember him for his artistic creativeness, daring (bungee jumping and ocean kayaking) and disarming personality. He is survived by his parents, Gilbert and Virginia Acuna; sister Janet; and brother Ray, all of Newbury Park.
