Eleazar Vargas

Eleazar Vargas was born to Miguel and Maria Vargas on August 3, 1950. He was immersed in the Christian community and that would be his lifelong support from an early age. He became a youth leader in the church he attended in Houston, Texas. That is also where he met his sweetheart and wife, Yolanda Gonzalez. He went on to marry her on March 4, 1972. Eleazar and Yolanda celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2022; a beautiful example of love and keeping their vows till the very end. Eleazar was blessed with five loving daughters. He made sure they all carried his first initial and taught them the art of singing. He also lived for his grandchildren which he said would “bring life” to his home. Eleazar was a musician at heart. He started a Christian Rock band by the name of Paraiso and traveled all over the world sharing songs about Christ, many of which he wrote himself. He later established Paraiso Sound Studios where his main mission was to help Christian bands record their first albums. He will not only be missed by his family, but by an enormous music community who has felt the loss of a musical giant. Eleazar is survived by his wife, Yolanda; his daughters Edith Espinoza (Luis Espinoza), Erika Vargas, Edna Vargas, Elda Gavidia (Efer Gavidia) and Ema Jaimes (Richard Jaimes); his grandchildren Emily Espinoza, Vanesa Villegas, Adrian Espinoza, Alina “Shai” Villegas, Daniel Espinoza, Ava Gavidia, Azalea “Jazz” Villegas, Lucas Gavidia and Asher Jaimes; his mother Maria Vargas; his sister MariaElena Flores; and his brothers Misael and Miguel Vargas. He is preceded in death by his father, Miguel Vargas and brother Mario Vargas. Eleazar Vargas nació el día 3 de Agosto del 1950, a sus padres Miguel y María Vargas.
