Francisco Tovar

A proud Korean War Veteran Francisco "Kiko" Tovar went peacefully on October 29th, 2023 at the age of 91 surrounded by his wife, children and sister. A main stable to Kiko's attire was his Korean War Veteran cap in which he wore even in his last days with pride. Kiko said his prayers daily and found peace in doing so.

Along with his brother Arturo (Jesusita) and sister Margarita (Duran) and several nieces and nephews.

Kiko was predeceased by parents Pedro Tovar and Gregoria Tovar and siblings Jose and sister in law Esther Tovar, sister Carmen and brother in law Macedonio Rojas.
