Cowboy. Soldier. Engineer. Patriarch
Born: Edna, Texas
Died: Woodland Hills, California
A traveler of the world, dad journeyed across Europe, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Formosa (Taiwan), Okinawa, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Greenland, the Azores, and beyond. Dad’s life was marked by curiosity, courage, and a deep appreciation for the world and its people.
My dad was the proud father of seven children: Esteban, Yolanda, Richard, James, Esmeralda, Sylvia, and Christina. As well as a grandfather to fourteen, and great-grandfather to sixteen—each a testament to the life and love he built.
What a grand life God gave him.
We love you, dad. 🤍
