Enrique was dedicated servant of God . He loved his church and gave selfish of himself to others. He always had a smile and jokes to share to lift up spirits. His family was so special.
He was a purple heart recipient and disabled veteran. He served in Vietnam until he was wounded from a rocket explosion and was wounded (7) seven times. He carried a bible with him that saved him from a bullet to his heart. He has served the Lord from that day forward. He was the Head Deacon at New Harvest Ministries for over 15 years. He greeted every person himself as they came to worship the lord.
He was such a proud father and grandfather and adored his loving wife Ciria A. Salazar.

Salazar-Collier (John); and his son Henry Lee Salazar; his brother Manuel Salazar Jr., his sister Socorro Canul (Juan), his sister Esmeralda Ruiz (Javier) and his brother Jose L.
