Isidro Batres Flores

In Loving Memory of Isidro Batres Flores May 14, 1962 – February 14, 2026 Isidro Batres Flores was born on May 14, 1962, in Las Almohadas, El Salvador, to Francisco Javier Flores and Sabina Vicenta Batres de Flores. He was the third of eleven children. From a young age, Isidro understood the value of hard work. He began working early to help his father and support his family, delivering bread for Niña Angelina Ramos. Even as a child, he brought joy to those around him, crafting handmade toys — trompos and capiruchos — for his younger siblings from simple pieces of wood, nails, and string. At 19 years old, he moved to Los Angeles, California, to help provide for his parents. There, he met the love of his life, Ruth Figueroa. They were married on November 19, 1989, and together built a beautiful life centered on faith, family, and love. They welcomed their first son, Jose Isidro, in 1988, and later their second son, Adiel Jeremias, in 1998. Isidro worked in restaurants, as a delivery driver, and proudly served 17 years with Walmart, later working for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. No matter where he worked, he was known for his warm smile, joyful spirit, and ability to make lasting friendships. In 1994, the family made their home in Rogers, Arkansas, where they built a strong community of friends and extended family. As a devoted husband and father, Isidro cherished time spent with family, whether it was fishing outings, playing soccer, visiting Disneyland and El Salvador, feeding ducks at Lake Atalanta, and enjoying peaceful weekends by the river. In 2009, the family adopted their beloved dog, Penny, who quickly became his cherished companion. In 2015, Isidro faced serious health challenges and underwent a kidney transplant. Through every trial, his faith remained strong, and his positive spirit never wavered. He faced life with courage, gratitude, and unwavering trust in God’s blessings. One of his greatest joys was becoming “Abuelo” to his grandson, Cristiano, born on September 20, 2022. He treasured every laugh, every video, and every moment shared. He lovingly called him “Precioso,” “Mi Niño,” and “Bello,” and nothing brought him greater happiness than seeing his grandson smile. Isidro was preceded in death by his father, Francisco Flores, and an infant brother. He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Ruth Flores; his sons, Jose (Laurin Flores) and Adiel Flores; his beloved grandson, Cristiano Flores; his brothers Antonio, Santiago, Wilfredo, Eduardo, Javier, and Felix; his sisters Elba, Iris, and Simona; and many cherished nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. His legacy of love, faith, resilience, and joy will live on in all who knew him.
