Elias Solis Lozano 23 de agosto de 1955 – June 8, 2025

Con profundo dolor, anunciamos el fallecimiento de Elias Solis Lozano, un esposo devoto, padre amoroso y abuelo entrañable, quien partió a los 69 años tras una valiente lucha de un año contra la ELA (esclerosis lateral amiotrófica).

Nacido en Durango, México el 23 de agosto de 1955, Elias emigró a Chicago en 1972 en busca del sueño americano. Fue hijo de Rita Solis y del fallecido Vicente Solis, y uno de nueve hermanos. Gregorio, J.Guadalupe, Adrian, Magdaleno, Jose, Matilde, Blanca, y Maria Modesta.

Elias formó una vida basada en el trabajo duro, el amor y los valores familiares. Estuvo casado con Juanita Solis durante 50 hermosos años. Juntos criaron a sus dos hijas, Maribel Solis y Ana Solis, en un hogar lleno de cariño y calidez.

Fue un orgulloso abuelo de siete nietos, Joshua, Jonathan, Cassandra, Alea, Diamond, Josiah, and Jeremiah, quienes siempre recordarán su dulzura, su carácter tranquilo y el amor con el que los cuidaba. Ya fuera preparando fruta fresca para las reuniones, cuidando sus plantas del jardín o encendiendo la parrilla, Elias siempre se aseguraba de que su familia se sintiera amada y bienvenida.

Gran fanático del deporte, Elias vestía con orgullo camisas o gorras de sus equipos favoritos: los Chicago Cubs, los Chicago Bears, y el equipo de fútbol Santos Laguna (Los Santos) and El América. También disfrutaba de una cerveza Old Style mientras miraba un partido o descansaba en el patio.

Trabajador incansable, muchas veces tuvo dos o más empleos para brindar una mejor vida a su familia. Aun así, siempre tenía tiempo para los suyos. Sus hijas y nietos recuerdan con cariño que nunca lo vieron enojado, un verdadero reflejo de su paciencia, bondad y corazón inmenso.

Elias deja en vida a su esposa Juanita, sus hijas Maribel y Ana, sus siete nietos, su madre Rita, y sus hermanos. Su legado es uno de amor, fortaleza silenciosa y entrega familiar. Será profundamente extrañado y recordado con mucho cariño por todos los que lo conocieron.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Elias Solis Lozano, a devoted husband, beloved father, and cherished grandfather, who passed away at the age of 69 after a courageous year-long battle with ALS.

Born in Durango, Mexico on August 23, 1955, Elias came to Chicago in 1972 in pursuit of the American Dream. He was the son of Rita Solis and the late Vicente Solis, and one of nine children. He was brother to Gregorio, J.Guadalupe, Adrian, Magdaleno, Jose, Matilde, Blanca, and Maria Modesta.

Elias built a life founded on hard work, love, and deep family values. A proud husband, he was married to Juanita Solis for 50 wonderful years. Together, they raised two daughters, Maribel Solis and Ana Solis, and created a loving home full of warmth and laughter.

Elias was the proud grandfather of seven grandchildren, Joshua, Jonathan, Cassandra, Alea, Diamond, Josiah, and Jeremiah, who will always remember his kindness, quiet strength, and the gentle way he cared for them. Whether he was preparing fresh fruit for family gatherings, tending to his backyard plants, or firing up the grill, Elias always made sure everyone felt loved and fed.

A true Chicagoan at heart, Elias could always be found wearing a shirt or hat representing his favorite teams—the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, El América, and the Santos Laguna soccer team. He also enjoyed relaxing with an Old Style beer in hand, especially while watching a game or sitting outside in the yard.

He worked tirelessly—often holding two or more jobs at once—to provide a better life for his family. Despite his hard work, Elias was never too busy to lend a hand, offer a smile, or spend time with the people he loved. His daughters and grandchildren lovingly recall that they never once saw him angry—a testament to his incredible patience, warmth, and loving nature.

Elias is survived by his wife Juanita, his daughters Maribel and Ana, his seven grandchildren, his mother Rita, and his siblings. He is preceded in death by his father, Vicente.

His legacy is one of love, quiet strength, and selfless devotion to family. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.
