The San Antonio icon known as ‘Hispanic Elvis’ received his final blessing and goodbye on Saturday.
His funeral service was held at the Hillcrest Funeral Home and it was attended by many family members and friends.
“Walking around seeing everyone at Fiesta was just really hard to see that he was not there in his spot where he normally was with his music and his guitar dancing,” said Virginia Vasquez, Hispanic Elvis’ niece. Cisneros said his brother is “very private,” but he and his family “appreciate all the support” and the prayers he’s received.
Hispanic Elvis, 76, was born and raised on the city’s West Side. Cisneros said they grew up in a small house behind the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center.While many people are aware of his current persona as Hispanic Elvis, Cisneros said his brother also played guitar in a band in the 1960s, performing at historic venues like Patio Andaluz near downtown.
