A FINAL BLESSING AND GOODBYE
GIVEN TODAY FOR THE ICONIC
HISPANIC ELVIS, HE CAPTIVATED
AND ENTERTAINED SO MANY OVER
THE YEARS AND GATHERED A CROWD
ONE
LAST TIME.
>> AT HIS FUNERAL SERVICES, THE
NIGHT TEAMS, JOHN PAUL BARAJAS
SPOKE TO THOSE WHO WANT TO PAY
THEIR
FINAL RESPECTS.
>> HISPANIC ELVIS, A STAPLE OF
SAN ANTONIO, A BIG STREET
MARKET SQUARE AND SIMPLY A FAN
FAVORITE FOR OVER 2 DECADES.
HE CAPTIVATED THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE WITH HIS IMPERSONATIONS
OF THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL.
>> DECKED OUT HIS HANDMADE OVER
ITS CARBON GUITAR. NESTLED
PEOPLE ACROSS INDIA
HAD LATE.
>> YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, A LOT
OF PEOPLE IN A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE BEHIND YOU. HE LOVED YOU.
YOU

I WAS HIS BROTHER. GEORGE IS
NATO’S EXPLAINED HIS BELOVED
BROTHER WAS HOSPITALIZED IN
JANUARY, BATTLED IN US OFF
AGAINST INFECTION AND COVID AND
PASSED AWAY ON MARCH. 30TH AT
THE AGE OF 76
AT TODAY’S FUNERAL SERVICE,
NUMEROUS MEMORIES OF SEEING
HISPANIC ELVIS IN HIS ELEMENT
WERE SHARED SOME OF THEIR WITH
THE BETTER YOU ORDERED IT TO
MAKE
>> RELIABLE. HE’S ALWAYS
BEATRICE, SHARP AS ONE THING
I REMEMBERED BY. BUT REMINDERS
OF HIS PASSING ARE STILL
EVERYWHERE. BUT THE ROUNDS IN
EVERYBODY DOING FEST, WHICH IS
REALLY HARD TO SEE THAT HE WAS
NOT THERE IN HIS SPOT WHERE HE
NORMALLY WAS.
>> WITH HIS MUSIC AND HIS
GUITAR DANCING, ALTHOUGH THERE
WAS LAST IN SMILES THROUGHOUT
THE CROWD.
>> HISPANIC ELVIS’S FAMILY IS
STILL GRIEVING, NEEDS TIME.
SNOW SAYING HIS BROTHER ASKED
TO HAVE HIS ASHES SPREAD AROUND
SAN ANTONIO, MANY PEOPLE PER
YEAR AND GIVEN BACK TO SEND
>> THAT’S WHY I THINK THAT TO
KEEP THE MEMORY ALIVE. KEEP HIS
LEGACY OR A NIGHT. THE LITTLE
ONES. ABOUT SPENDING IT WITH
US. AND WHAT HE MEANT TO YOU.
>> AND ONE OF THE WAYS TO
CONTINUE HISPANIC ELLIS’S LEG
AZIZ BY TELLING ALL THOSE
STORIES AND MEMORIES THAT YOU
HAVE OF THEM. OTHERS ARE BY
VISITING. THERE WAS LIKE THIS
ONE THAT WAS PUT UP IN
SEPTEMBER THAT DEPICTS HISPANIC
ELVIS ON HIS BIKE IN HIS OF HIS
CAR WITH HIS GUITAR AS SO MANY
OF US SAW HIM RIDING AROUND
THE SAN ANTONIO STREETS NOW FOR
HIS REAL NAME. IT IS KNOWN BY
MANY, BUT HIS FAMILY SAYS HE’S
A PRIVATE PERSON. BUT FOR TO GO
BY JUST JJ OR JUST BUY, HE’S
BEEN ELVIS. WE WILL HONOR THIS
