Arturo Moreno Flores nació el 30 de octubre de 1954 en Camargo, Chihuahua, México. A los 17 años llegó a los Estados Unidos, trasladándose con el tiempo desde Arkansas hasta Amarillo, Texas. Fue allí donde conoció a la hermosa Grace Deleon, la mujer que se convertiría en el amor de su vida. Arturo no hablaba inglés y Grace no hablaba español, pero el idioma no fue obstáculo para su amor. Se conquistaron mutuamente y contrajeron matrimonio apenas tres meses después, el 28 de octubre de 1978, en Amarillo. Su amor y devoción mutua se mantuvieron firmes a lo largo de los años.

Arturo dedicó más de 40 años al sector de la techumbre en Amarillo. Comenzó su carrera en Blake Brothers Roofing antes de unirse a Hartman Roofing, empresa en la que trabajó durante 25 años hasta jubilarse en 2024. Gracias a sus muchos años de arduo trabajo, Arturo se ganó el respeto de quienes lo rodeaban y se sentía muy orgulloso de poder mantener a su familia. Fuera del trabajo, disfrutaba de estar al aire libre y de pescar en los lagos de la zona. Tanto él como Grace eran miembros fieles de la iglesia New Life Church, donde participaban activamente en su comunidad eclesiástica y se dedicaban a servir a los demás. Arturo tenía un verdadero corazón de servidor; le encantaba atender a las personas, ayudar dondequiera que hiciera falta y hacer que los demás se sintieran cuidados y apoyados.

Y luego estaba la salsa picante de Arturo.

Se hizo muy conocido por las diversas salsas picantes que preparaba y compartía generosamente con los miembros de la congregación. Sus salsas eran solo una de las muchas formas en que Arturo compartía un pedacito de sí mismo con las personas que amaba. Para Arturo, el amor a menudo se expresaba a través de la comida; cocinar era su lenguaje del amor. Disfrutaba preparando menudo, tacos de papa, sopa de pescado y, por supuesto, sus famosas salsas picantes. Comprendía algo especial sobre compartir una comida: la comida tiene la capacidad de unir a las personas, crear recuerdos, iniciar conversaciones y hacer que la gente se sienta como en casa. Más que nada, Arturo tenía un corazón enorme para su familia.

Fue un hermano, esposo, padre y abuelo ejemplar, alguien con quien su familia sabía que siempre podía contar. Cuando alguien necesitaba ayuda, Arturo acudía sin dudarlo. Él quería que las personas a las que amaba supieran que nunca estaban solas y que él siempre estaría allí para brindarles su apoyo, aliento y amor. Arturo era el vínculo que mantenía unida a su familia. Ofrecía generosamente su tiempo, sus talentos, su fe y su corazón. Vivió una vida marcada por el trabajo arduo, la entrega, el servicio y el amor. Su legado perdurará no solo en los recuerdos que su familia atesora, sino también en las innumerables vidas que tocó a lo largo de su camino. Arturo was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Maricella Villa.

Arturo Moreno Flores was born on October 30, 1954, in Camargo, Chihuahua, Mexico. At the age of 17, he came to the United States, eventually making his way from Arkansas to Amarillo, Texas. It was there that he met the beautiful Grace Deleon, the woman who would become the love of his life. Arturo spoke no English, and Grace spoke no Spanish, but language could not stand in the way of their love. They captured one another’s hearts and were married just three months later, on October 28, 1978, in Amarillo. Their love and devotion to one another remained strong throughout the years.

Arturo devoted more than 40 years to the roofing industry in Amarillo. He began his career with Blake Brothers Roofing before joining Hartman Roofing, where he worked for 25 years before retiring in 2024. Through his many years of hard work, Arturo earned the respect of those around him and took great pride in providing for his family. Outside of work, Arturo enjoyed being outdoors and spending time fishing at area lakes. He and Grace were faithful members of New Life Church, where they were deeply involved in their church family and dedicated to serving others. Arturo truly had a servant’s heart. He loved ministering to people, helping wherever he was needed, and making others feel cared for and supported.

And then there was Arturo’s hot sauce.

He became well known for the various hot sauces he made and generously shared with members of the congregation. His sauces were just one of the many ways Arturo shared a little piece of himself with the people he loved. For Arturo, love was often expressed through food. Cooking was his love language. He enjoyed preparing menudo, tacos de papas, fish soup, and, of course, his famous hot sauces. He understood something special about sharing a meal: food has a way of bringing people together, creating memories, starting conversations, and making people feel at home. More than anything, Arturo had an enormous heart for his family.

He was a devoted brother, husband, father, and grandfather, and he was someone his family knew they could always count on. When someone was in need, Arturo stepped up without hesitation. He wanted the people he loved to know they were never alone and that he would always be there to offer his support, encouragement, and love. Arturo was the glue that held his family together. He gave generously of his time, his talents, his faith, and his heart. He lived a life defined by hard work, devotion, service, and love. His legacy will live on not only through the memories his family holds dear, but also through the countless lives he touched along the way.

Arturo was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Maricella Villa.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Grace, his partner in life for nearly 48 years. He is also survived by his daughter, Monic Trujillo and her husband, Lorenzo; his son, Arturo Flores Jr., and his wife, Tricia; his three sisters, Sylvia Calda, Marcela Villa and her husband, Oscar Castruita, and Elizabeth Villa and her husband, Eli Gregorio; and his seven brothers, Alfredo Flores and his wife, Zenaida, Javier Flores and his wife, Maria, Rito Flores and his wife, Lourdes, Cesar Villa and his wife, Martha, Juan Villa and his wife, Rosy, Carlos Villa and his wife, Maribel, and Jesus Villa. His greatest joy was his family, especially his nine grandchildren: Jasiah, Janesah, Zae, Amby, Jade, Adrian, Alek, Bella, and Jett. They were a tremendous source of love and pride for Arturo, and the memories they created together will be treasured forever.
