Demetrious Giovas Obituary

Demetrious P Giovas

El Paso - January 24, 1944 to July 14, 2020. Demetrious rejoined his loving wife Cecilia of 42 years on July 14, 2020. He is survived by his two daughters, Mary Helen Giovas and Katherine Zoe Giovas and four grandchildren, Cassandra and James Quezada, Sebastian and Christian Garcia. He graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1980, with a Bachelors in Business Administration degree. He was many things to many people. A loving dedicated and devoted husband, father and grandfather; a loyal and inspiring colleague and a friend; and innovative and legendary School Nutrition Administrator; a genuine and a compassionate teacher. Not to mention, a strong community advocate. He will be missed, but his vision and commitment to excel as an advocate for "Caring for Kids", lives on. He was named Outstanding Director of the Year 2005, by the National Student Nutrition Association and received the highest industry's, F.A. M.E., designation in 2006. In death, his life is changed, not ended. He is not gone. He just moved at the next big trend, as usual a few steps ahead of the rest of us.

Our family, would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the following individuals and organizations: Dr. Michael De Luca, Brenda Garcia- Ledesma, APRN FNP, Kelly Quinn, ACNP. Dr. Fernando Raudales and staff, Dr. Muneer Assi, Julie Zuniga, FNP, and Dr. Arma Velásquez. A very special thanks to: Kelvin Green, Mabel Sandoval, and all the medical staff who cared for him.

To the Demetrious Giovas Family, especially to Kathy accept my deepest condolences on the death of your father. I know he expressed to you that we were not only colleagues but good friends. He was such a good man that I have not doubt he is in a much better place. Blessings to your family.

Our condolence to the Giovas family and friends for their loss. Mr. G. as known by the students at Southwest Institute was recognized as our mentor, educator, advisor and a compassionate friend. His knowledge of Business, Management and Hospitality Industry was unchallenged & superb. He also excelled in being a motivator speaker.
To us (our family) he was a trusted friend who came in our time of need twenty-five years ago.
Rest with our Lord Jesus,
Manny Villalon & Family (Maria, Vanessa, Melissa & James)
