Louis was born to Cecilio Flores and Anita Everett on March 18, 1927 in Benjamin, Texas. Louis married his sweetheart, Aurora Acala, in June 1945. In his early years, Louis worked as a farmer in West Texas. Until his retirement from Allen ISD in 1 999, Louis worked as a custodial manager for more than 30 years. Upon his retirement, he returned to Abilene with his wife, Aurora, to enjoy gardening, home-improvement projects, and spending time with his friends and family. From an early age, Louis and Aurora attended church on a regular basis, serving God through volunteering their time and spreading God's love. They always had time to give to those in need. Louis' laugh was catching. He kept his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren happy and surrounded by his love. He will be missed, but the happy memories of "Welo" will always hold a special place in the hearts of those he loved most.
