It is with profound sorrow, that we announce the passing of our beloved Cris, into the care of our Lord on March 3, 2021. He was 76 years young, and was a devoted husband, loving father, and proud grandfather. He was born in El Paso, TX, on October 29, 1944 to Cristobal G. and Esperanza U. Morales. Cris graduated from Ysleta HS in 1962, and was a proud veteran who honorably served his country in the Vietnam War.
He is survived by his adoring wife of 39 years, Maria L. Morales, son Christopher Morales III, daughter Rebecca Marie Morales, grand-daughter Isabella Marie Morales, brother Edmundo Morales, sister Irma Morales, and in-laws Marissa and Lupe. He is also cherished by nephew and nieces Yvette, Andres, and Patricia, their spouses and children, along with many more precious family and friends, near and far.
His time with us was not enough. He filled our hearts with love and laughter, and he will be deeply missed. His fierce dedication to his wife, children and grand-daughter, was without equal, and worthy of admiration. Rest in peace “Corazon”, “Dad”, “Peepaw” (Grandpa). Every day with you was a gift.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 11, 2021 from 5 pm to 9 pm at Martin Funeral Home West 128 N Resler, El Paso, Texas. Services will begin at 7pm and will be live streamed on the Martin Funeral Home West Facebook page.
