Lupe was the oldest of nine children and left home at 17 to work to help support his siblings. He enjoyed being in West Texas and that is where he was working when he had a work accident in 1976 and suffered burns over 65 percent of his body. He survived the incident and later picked up drawing and painting, a past time he enjoyed since his childhood. Lupe enjoyed to paint despite his setbacks and limited use of his arms and hands. He was introduced to the Salvation Army art program where he continued his art, made many friends and was even able to sell his work, which was a huge accomplishment for him.
Along with being very involved with the Salvation Army Senior Center he was also involved with the Knights of Columbus chapter at St. Mary Magdalene in San Antonio.
