Victor was born in Blyth, California on October 15th, 1960 to Rodolfo and Esperanza Palos. He grew up in Gardena, California, enjoying his early years with his family. After high school, he moved to Pomona, California in order to begin his college career at Cal Poly Pomona. There, he graduated with a BA in Architecture. Following college, he began to work for several architectural firms. However, being the ambitious man he was, he decided to open up his own business in 1992: Studio 3 Architects.

He quickly established himself as a respected and talented architect, designing beautiful homes and buildings. He worked incredibly hard every single day to make a name for himself, and he succeeded. Architecture was his passion, and this passion is what allowed him to do so well.

Victor was also a general contractor, and went on to start up Victor Palos Development and Construction in 1993, only a year later. These two businesses went hand in hand, allowing him to gain expertise in all areas of his field. Not only would he put in the time designing and creating these buildings, but he was also out on the job sites overseeing the process and making sure his visions properly came to life. It was a lot of work to have a hand in so many projects and responsibilities, but he enjoyed every minute of it. To one, all of his work may have seemed overwhelming, but to him, he was living out his dream. Day in and day out, he would wake up every morning eager to get to the office and begin creating. He would blast his favorite music in his office as he submerged himself into his designs.

He was always so grateful to be able to carry out his passion while also providing for his family. Victor was a family man first, and would do whatever he could to make sure they were always taken care of. He loved his wife and his children, and went to great lengths to be the best father and provider he possibly could.

Victor was and is respected and loved by many, and will be dearly missed.

The service for Victor will be held on December 30th, 2016 at St. Joseph’s Church in Upland. It will begin at 10:00 AM.
