Eladio Villalobos married Maria Armenta, and together they had three children: Josefina; Eladio Jr. (m. Gina); and Saul (m. Karla). Eladio and Maria had six grandchildren: Briza Guzman (married to Jess) and Julian Villagrana (children of Josefina); Nicole Villalobos (married to Travis) (child of Eladio Jr. and Gina); and Melanie Villalobos, Sandibel Villalobos, and Marisol Villalobos (children of Saul); and step-grandchild Diego Gonzalez (child of Karla). Eladio and Maria are also survived by eight great-grandchildren: Esmeralda, Celeste Arianna, Ari’elle Jess, Solei Anais, and Josiah Elias (children of Jess and Briza); Elora Lucia and Richard Armenta (children of Nicole and Travis); and Uziel Fabian (child of Julian). One of ten children, Eladio was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, and his siblings: Josefina, Leonor, Audelia, Maria, Juan, Feliciano, and Ramon.
His surviving sisters, Maria del Refugio and Maria Guadalupe, remain to cherish his memory.
Eladio was a lifelong laborer and a fan of boxing, having been a boxer in his younger years. His favorite pastime was fishing and being near any body of water. He loved having a slice of cake, and then a little more afterwards.
Eladio was a brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, but most of all, he was a loving man who was respected and honored by his family and many friends. His presence will be missed, but his family basks in glorious love knowing he is reunited with his wife, and both are now guiding angels and in the Lord’s presence.
