"This is a devastating time for our state and nation, and our PSJA Family, especially our Bears," school board President Jesse Zambrano said, according to The Monitor. "Leo was a great athlete during his time at Bears, the goalie for the soccer team and the kicker for the football team. He was well liked and a role model to athletes like me that looked up to him. We pray for him, his wife and his entire family."

Maria Flores, 77, and Raul Flores, 77

Maria and Raul Flores were married for 60 years. They met in Ciudad Juarez in Mexico and retired two decades ago to a home in El Paso, The Washington Post reported.

The elder Flores had been scheduled for open-heart surgery, and the couple was in Walmart to buy air mattresses for relatives who were coming to visit and lend support, the newspaper reported.

"I tell myself, maybe it's the Lord's way of doing it," Flores Jr. told the Post. "Maybe He knew my father wasn't going to make it during the surgery, and maybe He knew that if anything happened to my father, my mother would be destroyed. Maybe that's why He decided to take them together."

Born in Tlahualilo, Maria Flores enjoyed cooking and doted on her grandchildren, according to the Post. Grandma Flores, as she was called, delighted her grandchildren by preparing desserts while dancing to the music of Elvis Presley or Marco Antonio Solis.

"They were so much alike, my parents," the couple's daughter, Leticiia Saldana told the Post. "They were inseparable."
