Our dearest Father, you have left behind a lifetime of memories that will be held close to our hearts forever. Thank you for being the best dad, the best Popo, son, brother, and uncle! Our dad was a hard working entrepreneur with a passion for numbers. After graduating with a degree in computers from Bee County College, Dad followed all sorts of new and exciting careers. He was a proud “Popo”, who enjoyed hands on adventures such as fishing, putt-putt and skating with his beloved grandkids. Dad never knew a stranger and made all in his presence feel like family. He was known for his optimism, taking one day at a time and finding solutions to problems when it was “time to cross that bridge”. Although his marriage to our mother dissolved long ago, the memo NEVER reached him. He was a constant ray of sunshine in our lives and is already dearly missed. Dad had the most genuine smile that could lift anyone’s spirits. We love Dad so much and are comforted in knowing that his love has tripled in return. Thank you Dad for always loving us, helping us, and being the fighter one can only aspire to be. Our father, Eloy, is a God loving man on his way to be with his beloved son and family in heaven.
