Roberto migrated to the United States from Mexico in 1977 with his wife, Isabel and son, Eddie. After moving to Waco they had three daughters Liz, Sandy, and Shellie. He came to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, whom he served, and led many others to. Roberto was a member of Centro Evangelistico Church for 30 years where he served as a deacon and also served as treasurer for the men’s department at his church. He was employed by Quality Core Company, Inc. He had 11 grandchildren whom he loved greatly. Roberto looked forward to spending time with his family and loved ones. His favorite hobby was reading the Bible, video-taping and recording sermons, and making coffee for everyone at church. He will be greatly missed but we know that he’s with Jesus in Paradise!
