March 31, 1946 ~ May 12, 2026

Eliseo Leal Torres “Lee” born on March 31, 1946, in San Antonio, Texas, to the late Angelita Leal Torres and Jose Maria Torres. He was taken peacefully from us on the beautiful blessed day of May 12. 2026 at the young age of 80!

Affectionately known as “Papo” to many, he was a proud United States Army Veteran. Eliseo was a true free spirit. He loved riding his Harley Davidson which he referred to as “Moto”.He became a long-haul truck driver for some decades and retired after 45 years plus of hard work that he was very devoted to. He spent the last years of life creating new memories with his wife & loving family that he spoke very highly of. Always spent his best days like it was his last. One of his famous quotes was ” Oh yeah! That’d be great!!” or “See you later alligator” while throwing the Peace sign. That’s the way we will forever in our hearts remember him by.

Eliseo, lovingly known as “Tio Cheo” by his nieces and nephews, was a fun-loving uncle who brought joy and laughter wherever he went. He was known for his kind heart, adventurous spirit, devotion to family and the love he shared so freely with those around him.

Eliseo will be deeply missed and forever cherished by his loving wife Antonia Torres of over 50 years of marriage. Also survived by his children, Lisa Lopez, Gina Torres and Ernie Torres,10 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Siblings, Raul Torres (Shannon), Daniel Torres, Rolando Torres (Stella), Gloria Torres and Manuel Torres. His favorite buddy BIG DOG Mikey, along with numerous other relatives & friends who knew and loved him. Forever in our hearts he will be greatly missed.
