Eric A. Orduna was born in Houston, TX on July 27, 1999. He was a kind, loving, selfless young man who loved his family first, above anything else. He was the youngest of three siblings. He loved cars and football at very young age. He had dreams to better his life and that of his parents. He was working as a valet driver to save for a car and eventually buy his parents a house.
He had the dream of studying music and at some point, attending Rice University. He was a valet driver with big dreams taken too soon.
Eric was not your typical 22-year-old, he was a simple young man, not into wearing the best clothes, having the newest phone nor having the most followers on social media. Unlike most young men, he rarely went out; he was very responsible, dedicated to his job, and worked every Friday and Saturday. His focus was caring for and helping his mother improve her health.
He is survived by his parents, Lupe and Rose Orduna; brother, Junior Orduna; sister, Elizabeth and brother-in-law, Michael Padilla; nephews, Nolan, Caleb, and niece, Audrey Rose; pup Reddish, his grandmothers, many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his grandfather Augustine A. Guerra and grandmother Rosie Castillo.
