Enrique Segovia Olivas, 93, from Fort Stockton, TX took his last ride to our eternal home on Monday, August 29, 2022, in Odessa, TX.

Enrique, Dad, Welo, Tio, or Henry as many knew him by was born on the summer day of July 15, 1929, in Fort Stockton, TX to Jose Olivas and Clara Segovia. Enrique paved his own way, wrote his own rules, and nothing stopped him or slowed him down. If you said he couldn't do it, he would make sure to prove to himself that he could. Dad excelled in his handyman knowledge, and amazing landscaping artistic skills. He also had many traits, but our favorites are his infectious love, tenacity, compassion, sense of humor, charm, grace, and acts of kindness, he showed to everyone he loved. He always made sure we all felt special. Many of us will miss our Saturday visits, and Welo's famous cooking. If you ever tasted any of the meals he prepared, then you are aware of just how delicious his cuisines were. Welo was exceptionally famous by his family for his asado, his photography skills, and we can't forget his dancing skills. Every lady wanted their turn on the dance floor to dance with him. Enrique was very vibrant; he loved every color of the rainbow. He had endless amounts of stories of the beautiful life he lived. We hope you enjoy your everlasting dance in heaven, Welo!
