Eduardo De

La Rosa

Eduardo De La Rosa, 49, of Santa Rosa, Texas passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 8, 2023 a week shy of his 50th birthday.

Eduardo was born July 17, 1973 to Santos & Fidencia De La Rosa.

Eduardo was very intelligent and had a very loving & carefree soul. He had a contagious laugh that stood out in a crowd no matter where he was. His family was his pride and joy. He enjoyed sharing his past times with friends by telling silly stories about them when they were growing up. His family was his pride & joy, and he had so much love for them. No matter what his family was going through, he was always there to lend a helping hand. If something needed to get fixed, asking for a ride or just to get lunch, he was always there. Traveling was another one of his favorite things he loved to do. He was always ready to go visit family in Arkansas and Florida for holidays, weddings, & graduations. He always taught others to never be afraid to be yourself and not to worry about what other people say. In every situation, he was always unapologetically himself and that taught others the power in holding yourself to your own standards. His infectious personality and charm is what made everyone laugh, proving that there's nothing better to do than smile.

Eduardo is preceded in death by his father, Santos "Chicho" De La Rosa; mother, Fidencia De La Rosa; brothers, Rodrigo "Rigo" De La Rosa, Santos De La Rosa Jr.; niece, Jessica Azua, and numerous aunts.

Left to cherish his memory are his 9 sisters, Rosa (Juan) Garcia, Sandra (Jimmy) Mendez, Anita (Juan) Mendez, Elva (Vicente) Trevino, Candy (Anthony) Gonzalez, Aida (Daniel) Perez, Angelita De La Rosa, Mary Jane (John) Almanza, Victoria (Sal) Quiroz; 5 brothers, Alex (Juana) Nava, Santos De La Rosa, Hector De La Rosa, Javier (Beverly) De La Rosa, Gilbert De La Rosa; stepmother, Lilia Conde; and numerous stepbrothers & stepsisters. Missing him dearly are his nieces and nephews; 2 best friends, Roy Arce & Orlando Vega, and Godson, Noah Vega.

Eduardo will be greatly missed by his family and friends. He was dearly loved by so many.
