🕊️ In Loving Memory of Richard Flores 🕊️
With shattered hearts, but with faith in God’s promise of eternal life, we announce the passing of my beloved husband, Richard Flores—the first and only love of my life.
Richard and I were blessed with 42 years of marriage. Those years were far from perfect, but they were ours. Through every joy, every hardship, every disagreement, and every trial, we continued to choose one another. We grew together, raised our family together, and held tightly to the life and love God had given us. Richard was not simply part of my world—my entire world was him.
Richard fought an aggressive cancer with tremendous courage and strength. Although our hearts were not ready to let him go, we humbly place him in God’s hands. We find comfort in believing that his suffering has ended, that the Lord welcomed him home, and that he is now resting in a place where there is no more pain, fear, or sorrow—only everlasting peace.
Richard lived a life of service, compassion, and love. He began his law enforcement career with the La Joya Independent School District Police Department. He later proudly served as a Constable Deputy for nine years. Richard also devoted 13 years of service as Fire Chief for the La Joya Fire Department, faithfully protecting and serving the community he loved.
Richard’s passion was the outdoors. He loved fishing and hunting, and he found peace surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation. The outdoors was where his heart felt free and where he created many treasured memories with those he loved.
Richard leaves behind his beloved children: Kristina Flores, her husband Juan, and their three children, Ryan, Eli, and Aiden; his son, Richard Roman Flores, his wife Michelle, and their son, Easton; his son, Rolando Rene, his wife April, and Richard’s deeply loved and most treasured princesses, Emily and Evana.
Richard touched countless lives through his kindness, generosity, laughter, and willingness to help others. Those who knew him will remember his strength, the warmth of his heart, and the deep love he had for his family, friends, and community. We pray that the goodness he shared will continue to live through every person whose life he touched.

Please continue to keep Richard and our family in your prayers as we walk through this valley of sorrow, trusting that God will carry us when we no longer have the strength to stand.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May Richard’s soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. 🤍🕊️
