Channel 5 News is mourning the loss of former anchorman Eddie Flores.
Eddie was the weekend anchorman for Channel 5 News for 12 years, starting in 2003.
Eddie joined KRGV-TV as a veteran journalist with 14 years of experience in news and sports.
Eddie was also a Marine, and true to his training, he was also a fighter.
According to a Facebook post from Eddie’s wife — Sarah Gomez Flores — Eddie fought a hard battle with cancer since 2013.
“Through it all, he was a tough Marine and a faithful Christian,” Sarah said.
Eddie was 60 years old.
Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced.
