Baltazar Arredondo Flores

May 30, 1968 — October 2, 2025

Baltazar Arredondo Flores, known affectionately as Guero to his friends and family, passed away on October 2, 2025, in Dothan, Alabama at the age of 57. Born on May 30, 1968, in El Capulin Rio Verde, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Baltazar was a man whose spirit and vitality were as rich and expansive as his roots.

In 1990, Baltazar married the love of his life, Salome Castro Arredondo, and together they built a life full of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Their union was blessed with three wonderful children: Eduardo, who preceded him in death, and daughters, Marissa and Anabella, who continue to carry on his legacy of kindness and strength. Baltazar was also a doting grandfather to Olivia and Juliette Gonzalez, who brought immense joy and light into his life.

The son of Santos Arredondo Donjuan and Eleuteria Flores Rodriguez, Baltazar was one of ten siblings, sharing his childhood with four brothers and five sisters. His family was a source of unwavering support and played a significant role in shaping the man he became.

Baltazar's work ethic was unparalleled, and he dedicated over three decades of his life to Dothan Tarpaulin Products Inc, where he was not just an employee but a respected and valued member of the team. His commitment to his work was only matched by his devotion to his faith. As a devout Christian, Baltazar was an active member of Saint Columba Catholic Church, where he found solace and fellowship.

Baltazar's interests were a reflection of his adventurous and friendly spirit. He never missed an opportunity to engage with the world around him. Whether it was riding his sports motorcycle with the wind in his face, enjoying the serene beauty of the beach, or savoring the flavors of homecooked Mexican food, he embraced life’s pleasures with gusto. His bravery knew no bounds, and this was evident in his love for riding motorcycles and his passion for firearms.

Beyond his hobbies, Baltazar was a man who loved his family’s gatherings. His outgoing nature meant he never met a stranger, and his spirited conversations and laughter were the highlights of many family parties. Baltazar’s presence was a comforting constant, and his ability to make anyone feel welcome and loved was one of his most remarkable gifts.

Baltazar will be remembered as a man who lived life to the fullest. His adventurous spirit, friendly demeanor, and spirited heart made him a beloved figure in the lives of all who knew him. His stories, his laughter, and his brave soul have left an indelible mark on his family, friends, and community.

As we bid farewell to Baltazar Arredondo Flores, we take comfort in the knowledge that his legacy will live on through the lives he touched, the work he accomplished, and the profound love he shared. He was a beacon of light and joy, and though he may be gone from this earth, his spirit will continue to inspire and guide us. Rest in peace, Baltazar; your memory will forever be cherished.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 12:30pm in the Saint Columba Catholic Church with Father Perkins officiating. Baltazar will be laid to rest in the Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery. The family will be receiving friends at Sunset Funeral Home following the Mass on Sunday from 3-5pm.

Baltazar Arredondo Flores, conocido cariñosamente como Güero por sus amigos y familiares, falleció el 2 de octubre de 2025 en Dothan, Alabama, a la edad de 57 años. Nacido el 30 de mayo de 1968 en El Capulín Río Verde, San Luis Potosí, México, Baltazar fue un hombre con un espíritu y una vitalidad tan ricos y expansivos como sus raíces.

En 1990, Baltazar se casó con el amor de su vida, Salome Castro Arredondo, y juntos construyeron una vida llena de amor, risas y preciados recuerdos. Su unión fue bendecida con tres maravillosos hijos: Eduardo, quien falleció antes que él, y sus hijas, Marissa y Anabella, quienes continúan perpetuando su legado de bondad y fortaleza. Baltazar también fue un abuelo cariñoso para Olivia y Juliette González, quienes aportaron inmensa alegría y luz a su vida.

Hijo de Santos Arredondo Donjuan y Eleuteria Flores Rodríguez, Baltazar fue uno de diez hermanos y compartió su infancia con cuatro hermanos y cinco hermanas. Su familia fue un apoyo incondicional y jugó un papel fundamental en la formación del hombre en el que se convirtió.

La ética de trabajo de Baltazar fue inigualable, y dedicó más de tres décadas de su vida a Dothan Tarpaulin Products Inc., donde no solo fue un empleado, sino un miembro respetado y valioso del equipo. Su compromiso con el trabajo solo fue comparable con su devoción a la fe. Como cristiano devoto, Baltazar fue miembro activo de la Iglesia Católica de San Columba, donde encontró consuelo y compañerismo

Los intereses de Baltazar reflejaban su espíritu aventurero y amigable. Nunca perdía la oportunidad de conectar con el mundo que lo rodeaba. Ya fuera conduciendo su motocicleta deportiva con el viento en la cara, disfrutando de la serena belleza de la playa o saboreando los sabores de la comida mexicana casera, disfrutaba de los placeres de la vida con entusiasmo. Su valentía no tenía límites, y esto se evidenciaba en su amor por las motocicletas y su pasión por las armas de fuego.

Más allá de sus aficiones, Baltazar era un hombre que amaba las reuniones familiares. Su carácter extrovertido le permitía conocer a cualquier desconocido, y sus animadas conversaciones y risas eran el punto culminante de muchas fiestas familiares. La presencia de Baltazar era una constante reconfortante, y su capacidad para hacer que cualquiera se sintiera bienvenido y querido era uno de sus dones más notables.

Baltazar será recordado como un hombre que vivió la vida al máximo. Su espíritu aventurero, su actitud amable y su corazón vivaz lo convirtieron en una figura querida en la vida de quienes lo conocieron. Sus historias, su risa y su alma valiente han dejado una huella imborrable en su familia, amigos y comunidad.

Al despedir a Baltazar Arredondo Flores, nos reconforta saber que su legado perdurará a través de las vidas que conmovió, la labor que realizó y el profundo amor que compartió. Fue un faro de luz y alegría, y aunque ya no esté en este mundo, su espíritu seguirá inspirándonos y guiándonos. Descansa en paz, Baltazar; tu recuerdo será recordado por siempre.

Se celebrará una misa de entierro cristiano el domingo 5 de octubre de 2025 a las 12:30 p. m. en la Iglesia Católica de Santa Columba, oficiada por el Padre Perkins. Baltazar será enterrado en el Cementerio Sunset Memorial Park. La familia recibirá a sus amigos en la Funeraria Sunset después de la misa del domingo, de 3:00 p. m. a 5:00 p. m.
