Padre was a member of the Webb Creek Baptist Church. He enjoyed traveling, spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, lifting weights and watching television, especially horror movies. Padré loved amusement parks, traveling, dancing and dressing up with his jewelry. Padre always saw the light in any situation he faced and was an overcomer by nature. He was always seeking a new adventure and livened up any setting.
