Ephrain Silas Valdez

Ephrain Silas Valdez, 45, returned to his heavenly home Jan. 15, 2015. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace. Ephrain was born to Christine and Silas Valdez. He was blessed with a large and loving family. He married his best friend, Gina Cole Valdez. They had four beautiful children, Jalisa Allison, Jessie, Jalena and Jenna Valdez. His greatest pride was his grandchildren, Grant, Emma, Lily, Maggie Allison, Blaise and "Baby" Coleman. He was the grandson of Joseph and Mary Ortiz and Jennie and Arsenio Valdez, father-in-law of Chris Allison and Adam Coleman. Ephrain never met a stranger and was a bright light in a sometimes dark world. We will celebrate his life with a rosary at 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 18 and a mass at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 19 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Conway, Ark. www.arkansasfuneralcare.com
