Lupe was born in Maxwell, Texas on November 17, 1936 and grew up in Port Arthur, Texas where he graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School before becoming a US Marine in the 1950’s. Upon being honorably discharged from the Marines, Lupe settled down with his family in Port Arthur, Texas where he worked at the refineries. He was a member of the Santa Maria Knights of Columbus in Port Arthur. He moved to Arlington to be near his Granddaughter and worked at the local Wal-Mart. As he began to succumb to his illness, he wanted to be back in San Marcos where his life began. Prayer for Lupe Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles. I’ve only gone to rest for a while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief. So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am but as I used to be. Because, I will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand in your hearts, I’ve only gone to rest a while. As long as I have the love of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

Guadalupe G. Collazo
