Amado Flores Sr.

Born on April 14, 1941 in Spring Branch, TX, Amado grew up in Temple, TX and was affectionately known as “Moe” by his family and friends. He was a man of great character, kindness and generosity. He spent his life dedicated to his family and his work, spending over 35 years pridefully working at American Airlines. He was truly committed with an unwavering love for his family.

Amado Sr. was a devoted husband to his wife, Aurelia, for over 62 years and a loving father to his children, Amado Jr, Lucinda, Yolanda, and Daniel. One of his greatest joys was spending time and caring for his grandchildren, Kristen, Ashlyn, Maddie, Alyssa, and Louis.

Throughout his life, Moe was known for his kind heart, warm humor, and strong work ethic, as well as his love for the Dallas Cowboys, UT Longhorns, Tejano Music, Oldies, watching old Westerns and NFL Football on TV, and the hottest hot sauce. He will be remembered for his affectionate laugh and his good-natured personality. He was a very humble man and was highly respected, a source of strength, stability, comfort, and warmth to so many and his legacy will live on through his family and all of those whose lives he touched.
