Jose Flores Obituary

Jose Flores

El Paso - Jose ("Pepe" / "Joe") Flores, age 54, passed away on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 in Olympia, Washington. Jose was born on January 21, 1966 in El Paso, Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents Samuel and Consuelo ("Chelo") Flores.

Jose is survived by his daughter Mia, son Mak, Chhrorng, his three sisters Yolanda Flores (Manuel Moreno, Jr.), Dr. Blanca Estela Garcia (David), and Eva Alicia Rivera (Fernando, Jr.) along with his four nieces Sasha Monik Moreno, Danielle Erika Moreno, Regina Raelyn Garcia, Kathryn Nicole Rueda (Eric), nephew Patrick David Garcia, and two great-nephews Logan Jordan Rueda and Luke Elijah Rueda.

Jose grew up with strong work ethics, value for education, and family values as his parents were his role models. At a very young age, he held his first job delivering newspapers on his bicycle come rain or shine. Family time was important to Jose and he would rather spend time with his parents and siblings. Family time consisted of playing games, watching family television shows, eating together, caring for the family pets, and visiting relatives as a family. Jose had an unconditional love for his family, enjoyed cooking, and eating homemade meals. He savored his pastry goods (cookies, donuts, etc.) as his snacks. He showered his nieces and nephew with gifts and love as they were growing up. He would wrapped his nieces and nephew in blankets and hugged them constantly ("burrito style"). Jose demonstrated loved for all animals. The family never knew which new pet was joining the family. Jose would show up to the house with his new pet, pet food, pet gear, and so forth. A smart way to introduce the new pet to his mom and dad so they, too, would accept the pet immediately as a new family member. He recently was thinking about adopting a cat but his last wish to own another pet didn't come through. Jose was an awesome fur baby Papa.

Jose was proud to serve in the US Army assigned to several locations and overseas. Education was, also, very important to Jose as he received a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling working in his field in the state of Washington. Jose valued learning all his life and was very proud of his four nieces and nephew earning their college degrees. Jose looked forward to seeing his own children accomplish their goals and graduate from college. Now, he will shine from above guiding and loving his children.

Throughout the last years of his life, Jose demonstrated his continuous love and concern for his three sisters and families by greeting them in the morning, wishing them a good night, and telling them to stay safe. His daily greetings will be highly missed by his three sisters. His family will forever cherish the memories of their beloved Jose ("Nino" - as he, too, was the Godfather for his nieces and nephew). We love you dearly and you will forever be in our hearts! We welcome you back to El Paso, Texas with open arms! We will always be beside you! Family Forever!

Serving as pall bearers: Manuel Moreno, Jr., David Garcia, Fernando Rivera, Jr., Patrick David Garcia, Eric Rueda, Sasha Monik Moreno, Danielle Erika Moreno, Regina Raelyn Garcia, and Kathryn Nicole Rueda.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and very dear. (Unknown Author)

José ("Pepe"/"Joe"") Flores, de 54 años, falleció el miércoles 22 de julio del 2020 en Olympia, Washington. José nació el 21 de enero de 1966 en El Paso, Texas. Le precedieron en muerte sus padres, Samuel y Consuelo (""Chelo"") Flores. A José le sobrevive su hija Mia, su hijo Mak Chhrorng, sus tres hermanas: Yolanda Flores (Manuel Moreno, Jr.), la Dra. Blanca Estela García ( David) y Eva Alicia Rivera (Fernando, Jr.) junto con sus cuatro sobrinas: Sasha Monik Moreno, Danielle Erika Moreno, Regina Raelyn García, Kathryn Nicole Rueda (Eric), su sobrino Patrick David García y sus dos sobrinos nietos Logan Jordan Rueda y Luke Elijah Rueda. José creció con una sólida ética de trabajo, valor por la educación y valores familiares, ya que sus padres fueron sus modelos a seguir. A una edad muy temprana, tuvo su primer trabajo repartiendo periódicos en su bicicleta, así lloviera o hiciera sol. El tiempo en familia era importante para José y prefería pasar tiempo con sus padres y hermanos. El tiempo en familia consistía en jugar, ver programas de televisión familiares, comer juntos, cuidar a las mascotas de la familia y visitar a los parientes como familia. José tenía un amor incondicional por su familia, disfrutaba de cocinar y comer comidas caseras. Saboreó sus productos de pastelería (galletas, donas, etc.) como bocadillos. Él colmó a sus sobrinas y sobrinos con regalos y amor mientras crecían. Envolvía a sus sobrinas y sobrinos en mantas y los abrazaba constantemente (""al estilo burrito""). José demostró amor por todos los animales. La familia nunca supo qué nueva mascota se uniría a la familia. É solía aparecer en la casa con su nueva mascota, comida para mascotas, equipo para mascotas, etc. Esta fue una forma inteligente de presentar la nueva mascota a su mamá y papá para que ellos también la aceptaran de inmediato como un nuevo miembro de la familia. Recientemente estuvo pensando en adoptar un gato, pero su último deseo de tener otra mascota no se cumplió. José era un papá increíble para los animalitos. Estaba orgulloso de servir en el ejército de Estados Unidos. Fue asignado a varios lugares y regiones. La educación también fue muy importante para José, ya que recibió una Maestría en Consejería Matrimonial y Familiar trabajando en su campo en el estado de Washington. Valoró el aprendizaje durante toda su vida y estaba muy orgulloso de que sus cuatro sobrinas y su sobrino obtuvieran sus títulos universitarios. José esperaba ver a sus propios hijos lograr sus metas y graduarse de la universidad. Ahora, él brillará desde arriba guiando y amando a sus hijos. A lo largo de los últimos años de su vida, José demostró su continuo amor y preocupación por sus tres hermanas y familias saludándolas por la mañana, deseándoles buenas noches y diciéndoles que se cuidaran. Sus tres hermanas echarán mucho de menos a sus saludos diarios. Su familia siempre apreciará los recuerdos de su amado José ("Nino", ya que él también fue el padrino de sus sobrinas y sobrinos). ¡Te amamos mucho y siempre estarás en nuestros corazones! ¡Te damos la bienvenida a El Paso, Texas con los brazos abiertos! ¡Siempre estaremos a tu lado! ¡Familia para siempre! Sirviendo como portadores del féretro están: Manuel Moreno, Jr., David García, Fernando Rivera, Jr., Patrick David García, Eric Rueda, Sasha Monik Moreno, Danielle Erika Moreno, Regina Raelyn García y Kathryn Nicole Rueda. Aquellos que amamos no se van, ellos caminan a nuestro lado todos los días. Invisible, inaudito, pero siempre cercano, todavía amado, todavía extrañado y muy querido, (Autor desconocido). El velorio será el viernes 7 de agosto del 2020 a partir de las 5:00 p.m. a las 9:00 p.m. en Crestview Funeral Home con el servicio de vigilia a las 7:00 p.m. El servicio de oración será el sábado 8 de agosto del 2020 a las 9:00 a.m. en Crestview Funeral Home.

Mr. Flores,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen and women stood ready to defend our Country. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
