A memorial celebration of the life of Raul Flores, Jr., 65, of Freeport, will be announced at a later date where his cremated ashes will be placed to rest in Bloomington accompanied by immediate family members.
Raul was born in Port Lavaca, TX, June 27, 1955, the eldest of 9 children, to his parents Raul and Carmen Salinas Flores, and his life did not come to an end with his peaceful passing on January 30, 2021, with his wife of 25 years, Nora Flores and stepson Brian Reading by his side, as heaven gained a shining light upon his arrival.
He was known for his gentle, loving and caring heart and for his keen and astute listening ability of all those around him.
He attended elementary schools in Palacios and learned to play golf at an early age from his father. He graduated in 1975 from Palacios High School. In 1977, he obtained an associates degree from Wharton County Junior College and was honored as Mr. WCJC by his colleagues. He attended Pan AM University in 1975 and Southwest Texas State University in 1978 with an art focus later inspiring his educational materials.
He was a member of Job Corp in 1987.
