Chris was born March 13, 1972 to Eloy Mireles, Jr. and Jeannie Cobos Mireles. He was a simple but proud man. Chris made mistakes in his life but loved everyone he knew. He was most proud of his four accomplishments he cherished the most and that were his sons. We are comforted that through them he will live on. We will miss you son, but you will suffer no more. Chris was a big fan of the San Antonio Spurs. He loved spending time with his Dad in the man cave listening to oldies and drinking a few. The last year he spent home with Mom will be cherished the talks and jokes will always be in my heart. The time he spent with the kids playing sports, dancing and listening to music will always be in their hearts.
