Roger Rios Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by A Better Place Funeral & Cremation Services on Dec. 31, 2025.
Roger Rios, 69, of El Paso, TX passed away on December 16th, 2025. Roger was born in El Paso, TX and was the son of his two loving parents, Emma and Rogelio Rios. He attended Austin High School and graduated from Stanford with a BA in Electrical Engineering after receiving a full ride scholarship.
Roger grew up playing baseball. He loved playing guitar, listening to music, watching the Broncos, playing pool & darts and enjoyed a good soak in the hot tub- so much so, that when he moved from California to Colorado he paid to have his hot tub moved with the rest of his valuables across multiple states. He was a lover of nature, one of his favorite traditions was to take photos of his girls when they were younger in front of the tulips in the spring. He believed in the circle of life & reincarnation and his family hopes his next form is one filled with peace.
Roger is survived by his sister, Veronica Rios, and 2 daughters, Bri and Ange Rios.
Respecting his wishes, his family will keep some of his ashes and his daughters plan to spread them with his parents and in places where he can forever enjoy a good view.
A Mass Service will be held at the Guadalupe Church in El Paso later in the coming weeks- more details to follow. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Roger, please visit our floral store.
