On the morning of Friday, October 24, 2025, Pedro went to be with the Lord. He was born on May 12, 1944, to Valentin and Maria Flores in La Feria, Texas. Later in life on October 8, 1967, Pedro went on to marry Regina Garcia in Lubbock cherishing fifty-eight years of a loving marriage.

Pedro lived a life characterized by hard work, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to those around him. Pedro had a diverse career, initially embracing the life of a farmer, where he cultivated not just crops but a profound connection to the land. He later worked in the maintenance department for Roosevelt ISD, a role that showcased his dedication to maintaining the spaces where children learned and grew. His impact was felt not just through his work but through the warmth he brought to every environment.

A man of many talents, Pedro was known for his remarkable ability to make something beautiful out of very little. He crafted intricate churches from wood, transformed seashells into whimsical turkeys, and created nativity sets that brought joy to those who beheld them. His passion extended to personalizing his clothing and hats, with his cowboy boots and hat becoming a staple of his everyday attire. Pedro’s creative spirit shone through in all aspects of his life, and he found immense joy in the simple pleasures of singing along to Isidro Lopez’s music, filling the air with melodies that expressed his heart.

One of Pedro's proudest accomplishments was his long-standing role as an usher for St. Patrick's Catholic Church, where he served with unwavering dedication. His commitment to his faith and community shone brightly through this service, and he welcomed churchgoers with warmth and kindness, creating an environment of belonging.

Though Pedro has departed from this world, his legacy will continue to live on in the hearts and memories of all who were fortunate enough to know him. His nurturing spirit, vibrant creativity, and steadfast love for his community will never be forgotten, serving as a testament to a life fully and lovingly lived.
