Guillermo Flores, was born on February 10, 1948 in the small town of Los Ebanos, Texas, the first born among his siblings. He graduated from La Joya High School in 1967. He moved to Corpus Christi, TX. to attend college and it was there where he met the love of his life, Yolanda Flores. Years later, they married and moved to Houston, Texas. It was here that they bought their home and raised all their children and continued to do so to this day with their own grandchildren. They would have celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary on June 27, 2020.

He was a man of strong faith, and like his mother, he would pray the rosary daily. His charismatic personality was as big as he was, along with his voice. Some say he was the voice up and down the halls of Austin H.S. where he volunteered as a hall monitor and a Band Booster parent. He loved sports and was known by many in the neighborhood because of coaching little league, that his sons also participated in, but also because he was that neighbor that spoke to everyone. He never forgot where he came from after leaving his hometown of Los Ebanos, but always knew where his eternal home was. In his last days, he expressed that he had completed his mission on this earth and was not afraid of death. In his words, “We were born to die.” He was an extraordinary man and he will be greatly missed by many.
