He was preceded in death by his cherished wife, Amelia Bravo Salinas, and his loving parents, Ascension Salinas and Maria Lopez.

He is also survived by his son Russell Salinas and wife Sheila, their children Tara Waddell and husband Tim, Sean, Kyle and wife Andrea, and Christian, as well as great-grandchildren Nixon, Weston, Kennedi, Presli, Jake, Olivia, Ashford and Amelia.

He is also survived by his extended family: brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Pat and Olga Bravo, Lina and Ken Evans, Norma and Johnny Gonzales, Alma and David Rodriguez, and Maggie Bravo, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Eliberto's warmth, wisdom, and unconditional love will forever remain in our hearts. His life was a testament to the values of hard work, family devotion, and service to others. Though we will deeply miss his presence, we find comfort in knowing that his spirit will always be with us, guiding and inspiring us in the years to come.
