FELIPE "PIPE" A. ELIZONDO
PHARR - Felipe "Pipe" A. Elizondo, 67, of Pharr, died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, December 5, 2010.
Felipe was born in Pharr, Texas on February 27, 1943 to Felipe and Melchora Elizondo and was a 1962 graduate of PSJA High School.
He is preceded in death by his parents; and two brothers, Armando Elizondo and David Elizondo.
Felipe is survived by his wife, Irma Elizondo, of Pharr; three children, Felipe A. (Yvonne) and their children, Andrea and Erin, of Mission, Danny (Alicia) and their children, Devin, Selena, Daniel and Sofia, of Kansas City, Missouri, Marina, and her children, Justin and Jenna, of Pharr; six siblings, Rodrigo (Gloria) Elizondo, of McAllen, Oscar (Linda) Elizondo, Belia Gutierrez, Elva Benitez, all of Pharr, Olga (Gus) Lea and Lydia (Orlando) Campos, both of Houston, Texas; his in-laws, Juanita Elizondo, Mary Elizondo, Rosa (Eloy) Trevino, Nancy Salinas, Ruben (Angie) Trevino, all of Pharr, Melida Guzman, of Mission, Adolfo Trevino, of Edinburg, Ida (Sarkis) Kechejian, of Dallas, Texas; special nephews, Mickey (Sylvia) Elizondo, Oscar (Olga) Elizondo; numerous other nieces and nephews; his aunt, Ida Carrillo, who was like his mother and who he loved immensely; and his extended grandkids at PSJA High, Sharyland High and McHi. The entire Carrillo family, who he loved like brothers and sisters, also survive him and he cherished his time with them.
Felipe was retired from Life & Casualty and American General Life Insurance and was the owner/CEO of Irma's Sweete Shoppe in Pharr. He was loved by all who knew him and he loved everyone he knew. He was a jokester and could keep people entertained for days with his jokes. He had a zest and love for life that was unsurpassed by anyone. But his greatest love was that of family. He adored his wife of 48 years and his three children and perhaps his greatest love was that for his grandchildren. He was a father, grandfather and friend to them and he loved spending time with them - when he wasn't at "The Eagles". He taught us how to live life to its fullest and how to love unconditionally. He was perfect to us and we will have a void in our lives that can never be filled. We love you daddy!
Visitation will be held from 3 to 9 pm, with a 7 pm Celebration of Life today, December 7, 2010, at Memorial Funeral Home, 208 E. Canton in Edinburg. Funeral service will be at 10 am Wednesday, December 8, 2010, at St. Jude's Catholic Church in Pharr. Interment will follow at Palm Valley Memorial Gardens in Pharr.
