He was born in Denver, Colorado on November 3, 1998, Saul’s life was a remarkable journey filled with adventure, laughter, and an unwavering spirit.

A proud veteran, Saul served in the U.S. Army from 2016 to 2022.

His family remembers him as a man who wore his military service like a badge of honor, and he was equally proud of his accomplishments outside of the uniform.

In addition to his military service, Saul dedicated himself to a rewarding career. He worked at ProPetro Oil and Gas and took on the responsibilities of a jailer for the Bell County Sheriff's Department as well as security at Baylor Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple.

Saul was known for living life to the fullest. He had an infectious love for adventure—be it through shooting, fishing, or riding his beloved motorcycle. His fearless zest for life kept his family on their toes, often worrying them with his escapades. Saul’s playful spirit extended to building complex figurines, video gaming, and making those around him laugh—a gift he cherished sharing with friends and family alike.

He was deeply loved and admired by his family, including his mother Maria Arce of Odessa, father Yohalmo Lobo, brother Angel Lobo of Belton, and sister Veronica Lobo of Odessa. His sister holds dear the memory of how her daughter Genesis would follow him around, captivated by her "handsome uncle" in his cowboy hat and boots. His brother Angel reflects on their unique bond and mourns the memories that will now never be made together. Their mother, Maria, is heartbroken over the loss of her sweet Saul, missing every moment they shared. In his absence, they are comforted to know that he was surrounded by love, especially in his final moments. The family extends its gratitude to Reese, and others that were there for Saul in his last moments and provided comfort knowing he was not alone.

Saul was also a devoted companion to his dog, Pickles, who would eagerly await his daily greetings, marking one of the countless joyful aspects of his life. Pickles will forever love him and look for him always. 

Saul joins his beloved grandparents, Feliciano and Maria Lobo, his cousin, Mikayla Arce, his uncle, Raul Arce, and his brother Angel's dog, Solina, who will all surely welcome him with open arms.

Saúl Enrique Lobo, una figura brillante en la vida de tantas personas, falleció trágicamente el 20 de febrero de 2026 en Temple, Texas, a causa de un accidente de motocicleta. Nacido en Denver, Colorado, el 3 de noviembre de 1998, la vida de Saúl fue una trayectoria extraordinaria llena de aventuras, risas y un espíritu inquebrantable.

Veterano orgulloso, Saúl sirvió en el Ejército de los Estados Unidos de 2016 a 2022. Su compromiso con su país quedó patente en su distinguido servicio, recibiendo varias distinciones, entre ellas la Medalla al Logro del Ejército, la Medalla a la Buena Conducta del Ejército, la Medalla al Servicio de Defensa Nacional, la Medalla al Servicio en la Guerra Global contra el Terrorismo, la Medalla al Servicio de Defensa de Corea, la Medalla al Servicio en las Fuerzas Armadas y la Medalla al Servicio en el Extranjero. Su familia lo recuerda como un hombre que llevó su servicio militar como una insignia de honor, y se sentía igualmente orgulloso de sus logros fuera del uniforme.

Además de su servicio militar, Saúl se dedicó a una gratificante carrera. Trabajó en ProPetro Oil and Gas y asumió las responsabilidades de carcelero en el Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de Bell, así como de seguridad en el Hospital Baylor Scott & White Memorial en Temple. Cada puesto que desempeñó estuvo marcado por su naturaleza aventurera y su pasión por ayudar a los demás.

Saul era conocido por vivir la vida al máximo. Tenía un amor contagioso por la aventura, ya fuera disparando, pescando o conduciendo su querida motocicleta. Su intrépido entusiasmo por la vida mantenía a su familia alerta, a menudo preocupándolos con sus aventuras. El espíritu juguetón de Saul se extendía a la construcción de complejas figuras, los videojuegos y hacer reír a quienes lo rodeaban, un don que apreciaba compartir con amigos y familiares.

Fue profundamente querido y admirado por su familia, incluyendo a su madre María Arce, de Odessa; su padre Yohalmo Lobo; su hermano Ángel Lobo, de Belton; y su hermana Verónica Lobo, de Odessa. Su hermana guarda con cariño el recuerdo de cómo su hija Génesis lo seguía a todas partes, cautivada por su "guapo tío" con su sombrero y botas de vaquero. Su hermano Ángel reflexiona sobre su vínculo único y lamenta los recuerdos que ya nunca podrán compartir. Su madre, María, está desconsolada por la pérdida de su querido Saul, extrañando cada momento que compartieron. En su ausencia, les reconforta saber que estuvo rodeado de amor, especialmente en sus últimos momentos. La familia expresa su gratitud a Reese y a quienes estuvieron presentes para Saul en sus últimos momentos y le brindaron consuelo sabiendo que no estaba solo.

Saul también era un fiel compañero de su perro, Pickles, quien esperaba con ansias sus saludos diarios, marcando una de las innumerables alegrías de su vida. Pickles lo amará por siempre y siempre lo buscará.

Saúl se une a sus queridos abuelos, Feliciano y María Lobo, su prima, Mikayla Arce, su tío, Raúl Arce, y Solina, la marcota de su hermano Ángel, quienes seguramente lo recibirán con los brazos abiertos.

Al recordar a Saúl Enrique Lobo, celebramos no solo su persona, sino también el impacto que dejó en tantas vidas. Su espíritu aventurero, su sentido del humor, su profundo amor por la familia y sus amigos, que seguirán vivos en los corazones de todos los que tuvieron la fortuna de conocerlo.
