Carlos Elizondo, 86, of Dickinson Texas, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on December 12, 2020.

Carlos was born on September 20, 1934.  He worked for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad for 36 years.  He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Enedelia and his children, Carlos, Guadalupe, Martha, Nancy, Pedro and Ramiro along with eight grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

Carlos was a force of nature, determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often mentioned.

Carlos was also a passionate domino and pool player and could often be found playing dominoes when anyone was ready to play.

Anyone who knew Carlos knew that he was the most loving father, grandfather, and husband a family could ask for always ready with a joke or clever saying.

He was like a lion strong and proud but with the heart of a teddy bear.
