Efrain will be reunited with his beloved father Marciano Chavez and beloved mother Elodia Chavez, sister Narcisa Leal, brother Roberto Chavez and brother in laws Reyes Leal , Guadalupe O.

Efrain graduated from Hebbronville High School and then joined the United States Army in 1966 and served his term in Korea as a Artillery Surveyor Specialist and received the NDSM metal for time served in Korea. He then moved to Houston and was employed at Hughes Tool Company for over 20 years.

Survivors are his loving wife Viola, of 49 years, and sons Edward and Eric (Lori) Chavez and three grandchildren Ethan, Amelia and Evan who were the light of his life and pride and joy, his endearment for each one was (angel face.)

After retirement Efrain's greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren and watching them play in the backyard of his home. His joy was relaxing in his patio listening to music and grilling for the family. He loved to wake up early sipping his cup of coffee while he read the entire Houston newspaper from front page to back, he could inform you of any current news. Efrain was best known for his quick-witted humor and his love of sports, GO OILERS! and his generous spirit and affection for all. We continue to smile each time we remember Efrain grilling steaks and pork chops for his beloved dog Pancho. We will always remember and cherish the wonderful memories of his generous spirit and kindness to all. Efrain will always be in our hearts forever.

The Chavez family would love to express acknowledgement and thanks for the help and support given to them from Devotion Hospice and especially the nurses Jasmine and Lena.
