Leopoldo (Leo, Polo) Enriquez ascended to meet the Great Creator on October 30, 2023 at age 79. Leo was a longtime resident of El Paso and member of the Mescalero Apache Tribe. He graduated from El Paso Technical School and was later inducted into the Army in 1965 where he served his country in Vietnam.

Leo is predeceased by his parents and eight siblings. Those left to cherish his memory include his wife Teresa, daughter Ann Marie, Son Leopoldo Junior, brother Thomas, six grandchildren, three great grandchildren, and the many loved ones who called him Tio, Primo, and friend.
