James Flores

James Flores, age 60, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. A retired officer of the San Antonio Police Department, James dedicated almost 30 years to serving the community he loved. His career was primarily spent as a bike patrol officer, patrolling the vibrant streets of Downtown San Antonio. In 1990, the Downtown Alliance pitched an idea to the city to create this bike patrol unit, and James was proud to be one of its founding members, ensuring the safety of both locals and visitors to the city. His commitment to the community was unwavering, and his efforts had a lasting impact on the sense of security and well-being now known in Downtown San Antonio.

James had a passion for classic rock music, often found with his favorite tunes by Rush and Pink Floyd playing in the background, a soundtrack that friends and family will fondly remember.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Oliva Contreras and Andrew Flores as well as his brother, Steven Flores and sister, Gilda Flores. James is survived by his beloved daughter, Sarah Flores, and her husband, Bobby Garcia; his cherished grandchildren, Owen and Addison Garcia; and Sarah's mother, Jean Jamieson. He also leaves behind his siblings: Stella Lopez and her husband Jose, Maria Sifuentes and her husband Andres, Andrew Flores Jr., and Jacqueline Flores. James will be deeply missed by his nieces, nephews, extended family members, and a lifetime of friends and fellow officers.

James Flores’s legacy will live on through the lives he touched and the community he served with dedication and honor. His memory will forever be cherished by all who knew and loved him.

The family will receive friends for visitation at Porter Loring Mortuary on Friday, August 30, 2024, from 4:30 – 5:30 PM.
