TORRES On May 15, 2009, the Lord took the Love of our lives, so he could be United with his Eternal Love. Fidencio Torres was born on February 26, 1985 in San Antonio, Texas. Fidencio, you were loyal, strong willed, and loved so much. Always & Forever we will love you! My brother and best friend, Fidencio Torres. Honestly, in the beginning he was just a brother, but when he moved out he became my best friend. Someone who I turned to for advice, he had my back like no one else and when I needed him the most he was there without hesitation. He'd call me just to ask if I was alright and that's what I loved about him the most. Considering the fact that he was thousands of miles away, he was still there for me. He will NEVER be replaced by anyone else. There is no one out there, in the world that is like him. I love you and miss you with all of my heart, Fidencio. I hope to see you soon. Love, your one and only sister, Maria. I still remember how hard it was for me when you left to sign up to be a Marine, and still remember how hard it was when you began training for your first deployment. However, nothing could prepare me for this. The hardest part about it, is just knowing that the memories we created could never be relived, and what plans were made will never be finished. I know I always told you, "Your gonna be alright man". You would tell me that you weren't invincible though, but to me you were… I looked up to you in so many ways, and I always thought to myself, if I wasn't doing something right… I'll just ask Fidencio what to do. When you weren't looking, I would be following your footsteps trying to compete with you. Now, a whole new chapter in my life has really begun, and the guidance I would always depend on is missing, but my decisions will always have you in mind. Never have I hoped for a Heaven as much as I do now…I love you bro, and I miss you-Your Lil Brother, Joseph. Fidencio was home schooled and attended Northwest Vista College at the age of 17. On December 6, 2004, he attended Marine Corps Basic Training at MCRD, San Diego. After completion, he attended the School of Infantry at Camp Pendleton. From there, he reported to Marine Corps Security Force Company, Kings Bay, GA where he excelled above his peers. He persevered through Close Quarters Tactics School and became a part of a special mission called Tartan Eagle in Scotland which he completed through extreme weather conditions. This was an accomplishment that most men couldn't even dream of, but from the beginning he knew that he would complete it. Upon completion of his tour in Georgia, he became a part of Kilo Company, 3rd Batallion, 4th Marines, 1st Marine Division in Twenty-nine Palms, CA. On December 17, 2007 he married Nacresheana King. Shortly following, on his birthday, the 26th of February 2008, he deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, which he did with pride. When asked how he felt about deploying on his birthday, he showed his selflessness by replying, "I'm just doing my job". He made his entire family proud and was a great example for all of his siblings. He brought joy to the hearts of everyone he came into contact with. "I know we will see you again one day. Bye, love you mijos." Fidencio was preceded in death by his grandfather, Nicholas Torres. He is survived by his loving wife, Nacresheana "Charlie" Torres; mother & father, Nancy Torres Unger & Joseph K. Unger, Sr.; grandmother, Rosa Torres; sister, Maria Marlena Unger; brothers, Joseph K.
