He was born on the day of Love to parents, Encarnacion and Josephine Julia Rios in Rio Hondo, Texas. He was blessed with a warm heart. He wished to spread the love by assisting others in need. The Lord blessed him with a marriage that lasted forty three years to Connie Rios of Del Valle.
His absence from our presence is unmistakable. His absence brings together those who love him.
