Robert Palacios

Robert Palacios, 63, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 19, 2021, surrounded by his loving family at his home in Robinson, Texas. He was born September 29, 1958, in Marlin, TX, to Genaro and Elvira Palacios.

Robert married his college sweetheart, Elizabeth (Liz) on June 30, 1979, at Miller Chapel, Baylor University. He attended Baylor for both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. As an avid Baylor football fan, he attended games with his family since 1979 hardly missing a game. He loved to make others laugh with his wittiness and fun way of seeing the world.

Robert lived well and loved well, especially God, family, and students. He taught history and ESL at La Vega ISD for 28 years teaching and guiding his beloved students in and out of the classroom. His love for education inspired many to pursue their degrees and careers.

Robert is survived by his beloved wife Elizabeth (Liz), his children, Alonzo Peralez (Elsia), René Palacios (Romana), Aaron Palacios (Adriana), and Michelle González (Alex). He had ten grandchildren, Julie Reynolds, Alonzo Peralez, Jr., Emilio, Mateo, Eliana, Beatriz, Sofia, Eduardo Palacios and Natalia and Leticia González; his parents, Genaro and Elvira Palacios, sisters Rachel Rodriguez (Steve), Christine Kelly (Daryl) and many beloved nephews and nieces.
