Eleuterio "Lou" Cisneros was born on February 20, 1932, in Erie, Colorado. He passed away peacefully on October 13, 2026, surrounded by the love of his devoted family. Lou was the cherished son of the late Jose and Ermalinda Cisneros. He grew up with a spirit of resilience and dedication that would define his remarkable life.
Lou's journey was marked by a profound love story with his beloved wife, Josephine, whom he married in 1954 in Cañon City, Colorado. Their marriage spanned seven decades, building a life filled with love, laughter, and countless adventures. They made their home in LaSalle, where they raised their four children and nurtured a family bond that would grow to include seven grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.
Lou was a man of many talents and boundless energy. He began his career working on the railroad, construction, the Monfort Packing Company, and was eventually a delivery driver for the Armadillo Restaurants from where he retired after years of dedicated service.
He found joy in the great outdoors, spending cherished moments fishing, camping, and traveling. He was passionate about spending time with his grandchildren, always present at their sporting events, cheering them on with pride. He had a love for sports; his favorite teams are the Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies. Lou also had a flair for baking, delighting family and friends with his culinary creations.
Those who knew Lou remember him for his generous heart, contagious laugh, and radiant smile. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who built a strong foundation for his family. His welcoming nature and unwavering faith left an indelible mark on everyone he met.
Lou is lovingly survived by his cherished wife, Josephine Cisneros, his daughter Ermalinda Flores (David) and son Steve Cisneros (Consuelo) and his extensive family of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his dear parents Jose and Ermalinda Cisneros and his children Louise and Johnny Cisneros.
