The youngest of 4 children Roberto was a beloved Son, Brother, Father and Uncle. He was a third generation American with tremendous pride in his Mexican heritage. Roberto was a faith filled courageous man who loved the Lord and his family unconditionally. Roberto was loyal, generous and kind; a lifelong friend to many. A truly amazing human being.
Roberto worked over 18 years under military contracts as an exceptional certified mechanic and most recently as a PTDE heavy equipment quality control inspector. His extraordinary skills afforded him the opportunity to work in Hawaii and Louisiana.
Roberto loved the Dallas Cowboys, classic cars, Oldies, Mexican Music and Harley Davidson Motorcycles. Countless members of his family and friends hold fond memories of being given rides on his Harley.
Roberto (Bobby Joe, Rob, Bob, Nino) will live on in our hearts forever.
