Eloy grew up in Realitos, Texas before moving back to San Antonio to work as a member of the Texas National Guard during WW II. After the war, Eloy took a job as a butcher. It was while working that a young woman who frequented the butcher shop caught his eye. That young woman, Rachel, would go on to become his wife of 67 long and loving years.
Eloy will be remembered as a man of faith who could build or fix anything. To those who knew him best, he was a man who put family first, had a kind heart, and who always had a perfectly timed joke
