Hobert Leroy Syson

On April 24, 1966 he married Mary Ann Drada at a ceremony in South Bend, Indiana. Hobert worked as an auto body repairman and painter at several different repair shops in South Bend and Mishawaka, Indiana. After spending most of his life in Indiana, Hobert relocated to El Paso to be near his two grandchildren whom he loved dearly.

Hobert loved working on cars, especially his 1955 Chevy Belair which he restored. He loved being around classic cars, attending car shows, and spending time in the garage passing on his knowledge of cars to his son and grandson.

Hobert was preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Mary Ann, his parents, and his sister, Virginia Gallay.

He is survived by a daughter Melissa (Rudy) Navarro of El Paso, son Patrick (Yolanda) Syson of San Antonio, and two grandchildren Emily De La Rosa and Matthew De La Rosa, both of El Paso.
