Roberto Saul Flores

Roberto “Robe” Saul Flores, 51, of Laredo, Texas, passed away surrounded by loved ones. Born in Laredo, Roberto was the beloved son of Fidel Flores Jr. and Mirta Isela Flores. He attended J.W. Nixon High School and went on to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting from St. Mary’s University. Go Rattlers!!

Roberto dedicated his professional life to public service. He served with distinction in the United States Customs Service and later with the Department of Homeland Security. Throughout his career, he achieved numerous accomplishments, including completing the United States Customs Service School in 2002, becoming a Special Agent for Homeland Security in 2005, and completing Undercover Operatives School in 2012. Roberto approached each responsibility with humility, integrity, and commitment, earning the respect of colleagues and friends alike.

Beyond his career, Roberto devoted himself wholeheartedly to his family and loved ones. He found joy in coaching his son’s baseball team, traveling and cooking with family, sharing laughs with his colleagues, and caring for his “zoo” of beloved pets including a “happy go lucky” duck. He cherished movie nights and shows with his wife, and delighted in life’s simple pleasures, especially his favorite “snackies.” Roberto will be remembered as a man of moral character, integrity, compassion, and intelligence. His humor lit up every room, and his kind heart left an imprint on all who met him.

Roberto is survived by his loving wife, Clara Flores, and their two children, Roberto Antonio Flores and Clarisa Isabel Flores. He is also survived by his brothers, Rene Sergio Flores and his partner Melinda Vidaurri, and Reynaldo Flores and his partner Sandra Andrade; nephew Jaylen Flores; and niece Jasmine Flores. Roberto leaves behind his in-laws, Maria Gonzalez, Antonio Gonzalez, and Jesus Gonzalez, as well as many extended family members and dear friends.

He was a member of the Church of Divine Mercy and remained active in his community through organizations such as the Knights of Columbus. He also served as a Pony League baseball coach, sharing his time and spirit with the youth of his community.

To those blessed to know him, Roberto will be remembered for his unwavering integrity, his generosity, his quiet strength, and the laughter he brought wherever he went. His absence is profound, but his legacy of love, service, and joy will continue through his family and all who carry his memory forward.
