Ricardo Flores Sr.

Born: May 19, 1955

Passed: January 10, 2023

Most called him Ric. Though he personally preferred to be called "Ace". He was born in La Feria, TX. To his mother Mercedes and his father, Ruben Flores. He was ultimately 1 of 10 children. 6 boys, 4 girls.

He would later go on to have 3 children of his own. Raylene, Rashell and Ricardo Jr. He had 5 grandchildren so far. He is survived and loved by them all.

Ric or 'Ace', loved many things and had many interests. Motorcycles, having owed a Harley Davidson himself. He had a great ear and singing voice for music/ karaoke. Was a true Raider fan. And if in good health, he rarely missed an opportunity to hang out with family and friends.

To those who knew him well, he was one of the most easy going guys you could meet. A very passive and nonchalant demeanor type of man.

For work, a majority of his career was set in Sanger, CA. Where he worked as a shipping supervisor for a boxing company then known as Willamette or later, International Paper Co. To name a couple. He also owed a bar for a stint and was even a Lumberjack. Or, he worked at Lumberjack, rather.

Though his happiest times truly seemed to be just relaxing at home. Either with his family or alone. Popping a DVD or Bluray in. Getting comfortable and letting the story or world of another transport him somewhere his imagination always ventured to.

Ric, 'Ace', Brother, Dad, or Grandpa... No matter what name he goes by. He will be forever and tramedously missed. He will be forever loved and cherished.
