In Loving Memory
Melanie Aguilar
July 14, 1982 - February 12, 2026

It is with hearts weighed down by unimaginable sorrow and our souls wrapped in grief as the Aguilar Family shares the untimely passing of their beloved Melanie Aguilar, who at the loving age of 43 was called home to Our Heavenly Father in Heaven on February 12, 2026. The loss of Melanie leaves behind a silence that words struggle to fill, a space that can only be occupied by the love Melanie gave so freely and the memories she leaves etched forever in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her. In this moment of profound sadness, her family leans on their faith, trusting in God’s promise that life does not end, but is transformed through His eternal mercy and grace.

Melanie was born on July 14, 1982, in Corpus Christi, Texas, as the cherished daughter of Allen Aguilar and Lorraine Rojas Aguilar. From the very beginning of her life, Melanie carried a radiant spirit, a gentle soul with a heart large enough to love deeply, forgive easily, and embrace life with courage even during difficult times. Melanie was raised in the Catholic faith, where she learned early the meaning of compassion, sacrifice, and devotion to family, as these values shaped the woman she would become and guided her throughout her life’s journey. Melanie spent most of her life in Robstown, Texas, a community where her smile and warm presence became familiar to so many, and in the last ten years, she made her home in Refugio, Texas, where she worked as a cook at Whataburger. She served others with kindness, often greeting customers and coworkers with a smile that could brighten even the hardest day. When she was not working, Melanie embraced life fully, as she loved listening to music, allowing the songs to speak when words could not. She also cherished the laughter, the simple moments, and the comfort of being surrounded by her family. Melanie looked forward to the family gatherings where her heart truly came alive, that were filled with stories, laughter, and the warmth that only comes from being together. Yet above all else, the greatest joy of Melanie’s life was her children, as she loved watching them play sports, cheering from the sidelines, encouraging them with unconditional pride; these were the moments she treasured most deeply. Melanie’s children were her world, her purpose, and the living reflection of her love. Melanie was a loving and caring daughter, a devoted companion, a proud and nurturing mother, a supportive sister, a cherished granddaughter, a joyful grandmother, and a dear friend to so many. She gave of herself without hesitation, often placing others before her own needs. Melanie’s love was steadfast, quiet but powerful; the kind of love that leaves an everlasting imprint on the soul. Those who knew Melanie will remember her for her laughter, her resilience, her compassion, and her ability to make others feel seen and valued.

As people of faith, we find comfort in believing that Melanie has now entered into the eternal embrace of Our Lord, where sorrow and pain no longer exist. She goes home to Our Heavenly Father to be reunited once again with her loving father, Allen Aguilar; her paternal grandparents, Saragosa Aguilar and Modesta Aguilar; her maternal grandparents, Jose Rojas and Juanita Rojas; and her uncle, Raul Salinas Jr. What a glorious and beautiful reunion it must have been, a heavenly welcome filled with love, tears of joy, and the peace that only God can give. Though our hearts ache with separation, we trust that Melanie now rests in the light of Christ, embraced by those who awaited her arrival.

Melanie leaves to cherish her precious and everlasting memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of her caring companion, Justin Samuel Gonzales Sr.; her beloved children, Mic Lee Medrano, Melinda Leann Medrano, Miranda Lee Villarreal, Mia Nevaeh Aguilar, Jade Michelle Gonzales, Jaselynn Samuel Gonzales, and Justin Samuel Gonzales Jr.; her loving mother, Lorraine Aguilar; her siblings, Mallory Villegas, Justin Joshua (Sabrina) Villegas, Gina (Delfino) Avila, Allen Aguilar Jr., and Daisy Aguilar; her cherished granddaughters, Laura Madison Hernandez and Olivia Leandra Hernandez; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and countless friends who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

The pain of Melanie’s passing is profound, yet her family finds strength in the promise of eternal life and in the understanding that love does not end with death. Melanie’s legacy lives on in every life she touched, in every lesson of love she taught, every smile she gave, and every moment she shared. Though tears fall endlessly now, they are a reflection of a life deeply loved and a soul that will never be forgotten.

The Aguilar Family extends a sincere and heartfelt invitation to all loved ones and friends to join them in prayer, remembrance, and celebration of Melanie’s beautiful life, as a visitation will be held on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, with a Holy Rosary to be recited at 7:00 PM that evening at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Ave, Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 AM on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 204 Dunne Ave, Robstown, Texas. Interment will follow at St. Anthony’s Cemetery in Robstown, Texas.

As we say goodbye for now, we do so with hearts full of grief but also with faith in God’s eternal promise. May the angels lead Melanie into paradise. May the saints welcome her with open arms. May perpetual light shine upon her, and may she rest in the peace and love of Christ forever. “Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.”

In Loving Memory
Roberto Hernandez Gomez
November 11, 1949 - February 10, 2026

It is with the heaviest of hearts and a sorrow too deep for words to explain as the Gomez and Hernandez Families share the passing of their beloved patriarch, Roberto Hernandez Gomez, who at the blessed age of 76, was called home to be with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 10, 2026. Though our hearts are shattered and our tears fall without end, we take comfort in knowing that Heaven has gained a faithful servant, and that Roberto now rests in the eternal peace of God’s glorious kingdom.

Roberto was born on November 11, 1949, in the humble town of Matador, Texas; as he was the cherished son of Benito Gomez and Sofia Hernandez Gomez, who instilled in him the values of hard work, humility, faith, and unwavering love for family. From his earliest days, Roberto carried within him a gentle spirit and a strong will, whose hands would one day build, repair, and fix so many things, yet whose heart would always remain tender and devoted to those he loved most. Roberto was a Christian who walked through this life holding firmly to his faith. He believed in the promises of God, in the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and in the hope of eternal life. Through trials and triumphs, through seasons of joy and seasons of heartbreak, he leaned on the Lord for strength. Roberto’s quiet prayers, his steadfast trust, and his humble gratitude were reflections of a man who knew that every breath was a gift from God. For most of his life, Roberto worked diligently as a machinist in the tractor and trailer industry, where his work ethic was unmatched. He rose early, labored faithfully, and returned home each day with tired hands but a grateful heart. He took pride in providing for his family, in knowing that his hard work helped build a life of stability and security for those he loved. He did not seek applause or recognition, as his reward was seeing his children cared for and his family gathered around him. When he was not working, Roberto was known as the family mechanic, the man everyone called when something needed fixing. Whether it was a car that would not start, an engine that needed attention, or a simple repair, he would patiently roll up his sleeves and get to work. There was something almost sacred about watching him labor over a vehicle as he was focused, determined, yet calm. It was never just about fixing cars; it was about serving those he loved. He also found simple joy in thrift shopping, strolling through aisles, searching for hidden treasures, smiling when he found something unique. However, above all else, the greatest joy of Roberto’s life was his family, where his children and grandchildren were the light of his life, the reason his eyes sparkled and his smile widened. He cherished every conversation, every gathering, every embrace. The sound of laughter around him was music to his soul. Roberto was a loving and devoted son, a faithful husband, a protective father, a proud grandfather, a caring brother, and a dear friend. He loved deeply and quietly, not always with grand gestures, but with consistency, presence, and sacrifice. Roberto’s love was steady, like an anchor in a storm, and his family always knew they could count on him.

Now, Roberto has gone home to the Lord where he is reunited once again with his beloved wife, Dalia Sanchez Gomez; his parents, Benito Gomez and Sofia Hernandez Gomez; his son, Roberto Gomez Jr.; and many dear siblings who preceded him in death. What a glorious and unimaginable reunion it must have been, as Heaven’s gates opened wide as they welcomed him home with open arms, tears of joy, and eternal peace. We can only imagine the embrace between Roberto and Dalia, the long-awaited reunion between father and son, and the heavenly celebration as he heard the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Though our hearts ache beyond measure, Roberto leaves behind a legacy of love that will forever live on in the hearts of his loving children: Angela (Ruben Lopez) Gomez, Roel (April Luna) Gomez, Arlina Gomez, and Jeremy (Raquel Rincon) Gomez; his dear siblings, Ramon Gomez, Ricardo Gomez, Rene Gomez, Palmira (Rogelio) Castaneda, Ninfa (Rey) Ambriz, Irma (Gene) Phillips, Diana Estraca, and Rosa Gomez; his loving grandchildren, Isabel (Matthew Hernandez) Perez, Emily (Alex Cantu) DeLeon, Amber DeLeon, Araceli Gomez, Amos Gomez, and Juliana Whitman. He also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, extended relatives, and many dear friends whose lives were blessed by his kindness, his humor, and his quiet strength.

As we mourn his earthly absence, we cling to the promise found in Scripture, that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Though tears blur our vision and sorrow grips our hearts, we know that Roberto now walks on streets of gold, free from pain, free from suffering, wrapped in the eternal love of God.

The Gomez Family humbly invites all family and friends to join them in honoring and celebrating the life of Roberto Hernandez Gomez, as a visitation will be held on Friday, February 20, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, with a Prayer Service at 7:00 PM that same evening at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Ave, Robstown, Texas.

As we gather to remember Roberto, may we share stories, embrace one another, shed tears together, and find comfort in knowing that love never dies. Though our hearts are broken, Heaven rejoices, and one day, by God’s grace, we will see him again. Until that glorious day, we will carry you in our hearts, we will whisper your name in prayer, we will feel your love in the quiet moments, and we will hold on to the promise that this goodbye is not forever. It is only until we meet again in the presence of our Lord.

In Loving Memory
Frank Thomas Smith
April 5, 1948 - February 7, 2026

It is with indescribable sorrow, and hearts shattered by grief, as the Smith Family shares the passing of Frank Thomas Smith, who at the blessed age of 77, was called home to be with Our Heavenly Father in Heaven on February 7, 2026, surrounded by the love, prayers, and presence of his devoted family. Though his earthly journey has come to an end, the depth of his love, the strength of his faith, and the countless lives he touched will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Frank was born on April 5, 1948, in the humble town of Rio Grande City, Texas, the beloved son of Gordon Allen Smith and Isaura Valverde Smith. From the moment God entrusted Frank into their arms, he was raised with strong values rooted in faith, family, and service to others. These virtues became the guiding light of his life and shaped the man he would become, a man whose kindness was quiet yet powerful, whose generosity knew no limits, and whose heart was always open to those in need. Frank was a devout Catholic, who lived his life anchored in prayer and trust in God’s divine plan. In his younger years, Frank faithfully attended Sunday Mass at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, later finding his spiritual home at St. Peter Prince Of The Apostles Catholic Church. Frank’s faith was not only something he practiced on Sundays, it was something he lived every single day. Frank believed deeply in the power of prayer, in the Blessed Mother’s intercession, and in the promise of eternal life. He trusted wholeheartedly that death was not an ending, but a homecoming. Frank was a man of many talents and a tireless worker who dedicated decades of his life to providing for his family. He was the owner and operator of Frank’s Bridal Gallery for over 20 years, a place where countless brides experienced joy, excitement, and unforgettable moments, thanks to Frank’s warmth, patience, and genuine care. He also devoted more than 24 years of faithful service to Haggar’s Manufacturing Clothing Company, where his strong work ethic and integrity were deeply respected. Beyond this, Frank served as a Bingo Operator at Saratoga Bingo and previously at the Knights of Columbus Bingo in Robstown, roles he embraced not just as jobs, but as opportunities to serve and connect with his community. He also shared his talents as a former server at the Peacock German and French Restaurant, where his friendly spirit and welcoming smile left lasting impressions. Frank’s heart for service extended far beyond his professional life; as he was a former Grand Knight and a faithful 4th Degree Member of the Father Juan Canales Council 3110 Knights of Columbus, he was also a faithful member of The Teresitas, and a longtime volunteer with St. Anthony’s Annual Fiesta Mexicana. Through these roles, Frank lived out his Catholic faith by serving others humbly, joyfully, and without seeking recognition. Frank’s life was a living example of Christ’s call to love, to serve, and to give of oneself freely. Since 1971, Robstown, Texas had been the place Frank lovingly called home. There, he built a life rich in friendships, memories, laughter, and faith. He was known and be remembered as a loving and caring son, husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, a man whose presence brought comfort, whose words brought peace, and whose love brought healing.

Frank now returns to Our Heavenly Father in Heaven to be reunited once again with his beloved wife, Maria Guadalupe Mendez Smith; his cherished parents, Gordon Allen Smith and Isaura Valverde Smith; and his dear brother, Richard Smith. What a glorious reunion it must have been at the gates of Heaven, where tears of earthly sorrow were transformed into tears of eternal joy, where loving embraces erased the pain of separation, and where Frank heard the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Frank leaves to mourn his passing and to treasure his everlasting memory that will continue to live on in the hearts of his loving daughters, Angelique (The Late Hector) Perez, Rhonda (Pablo) Hernandez, and Sabrina (David) Perez; his beloved sisters, Diana (The Late Hector) Chapa and Margaret (Ricardo) Hernandez; his sister-in-law, Sandra Smith; his cherished grandchildren, Alexander Perez, Gabriela Perez, Zachary Perez, Kyle Perez, Kimberly Sanchez, Kai Hernandez, Kyler Hernandez, Chelsea Richardson, Daniel Caballero, and Madison Perez; his precious great-grandchildren, Florence Lake Wilson, William Richardson Jr., and one beautiful blessing on the way. Frank also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless friends whose lives were forever changed by knowing him.

The pain of losing Frank is immeasurable, as his absence leaves a silence that feels unbearable, yet his love remains woven into every memory, every prayer, every tear shed in his honor. Though hearts are broken, our faith reminds us that Frank now rests in God’s eternal peace, free from pain, embraced by divine mercy, and surrounded by everlasting light.

The Smith Family humbly invites all family members, friends, and loved ones to join them in prayer and remembrance as they honor the life of Frank Thomas Smith, as a visitation will be held on Monday, February 16, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, with a Holy Rosary to be recited at 7:00 PM at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Ave, Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at St. Peter Prince Of The Apostles Catholic Church, 3901 Violet Rd, Corpus Christi, Texas. Interment will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery.

As we lay Frank to rest, we entrust him to God’s loving care, confident that he now watches over us from Heaven. Until the day we are reunited again, may his soul rest in eternal peace, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Evangelina “Vangie” P. Perez
December 11, 1940 February 5, 2026

It is with shattered hearts, tear-filled eyes, and a sorrow too deep for words to explain as the Perez Family humbly shares the passing of their beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and dear friend, Evangelina “Vangie” P. Perez, who at the blessed age of 85, was called home to be with Our Heavenly Father in Heaven on February 5, 2026. Vangie’s passing has left a silence that echoes through the hearts of all who loved her, and a silence only faith can help us endure.

Vangie was born on December 11, 1940, in the humble town of Oilton, Texas, the cherished daughter of Severo Perez and Carlota Perez. From the very beginning, Vangie’s life was one rooted in faith, humility, sacrifice, and an unbreakable devotion to family. She carried her Catholic faith quietly yet powerfully, trusting in God’s plan even through life’s hardest trials, and turning to prayer in moments of joy and sorrow alike.
Vangie was a woman of remarkable strength and tireless work ethic, as she spent over 50 years serving others as a waitress, working faithfully at Central Pharmacy, Land and Sea Restaurant, and Crain’s Café. She greeted countless customers not just with meals, but with her kindness, warmth, and a familiar smile that made everyone feel seen and cared for. When she was not working, Vangie found joy in the simple pleasures of life, as she loved playing BINGO, delighting in the excitement and laughter it brought. She also poured her creativity into arts and crafts, creating with her hands just as she created love within her family. Yet above all else, her greatest joy, her truest purpose, was her family, as they were her pride, her strength, and the very reason her heart beat as fiercely as it did. Vangie was the kind of woman who loved without limits and gave without hesitation. She was a nurturing mother, a steady grandmother, a gentle great-grandmother, and a treasured great-great-grandmother, where her love was unconditional, her presence comforting, and her wisdom quietly profound. She listened without judgment, gave advice without force, and loved with a depth that can never be replaced.

She now returns to Our Heavenly Father in Heaven, where she is reunited in eternal glory once again with her loving parents, Severo and Carlota Perez; her beloved daughter, Lamar Olivarez; her dear siblings, Severo Perez Jr., Eduardo Perez, and Roberto Perez; and her precious grandson, Steven Lee Salazar. One can only imagine the beauty of that reunion, as their arms wrapped tightly around her, tears of joy flowing freely, and a chorus of “welcome home” echoing through the gates of Heaven.

Though our hearts ache with her absence, Vangie’s legacy of love lives on in the hearts of her devoted children, Leticia (Cesar, Jr.) Ponce, Arnoldo (Debbie) Salazar, Rogelio (Isabel) Davila, Charles Jay Perez, and Eddie (Theresa) Ray Perez; and her loving sister, Irma (the late Roberto) Mercado. She was further blessed and adored beyond measure with twenty-two grandchildren, twenty-nine great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandson, along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever carry her spirit in their hearts.

The Perez Family invites all who loved and cherished Vangie to join them as they gather in faith, remembrance, and love to honor her beautiful life, as a visitation will be held on Thursday, February 12, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, with a Holy Rosary to be recited at 7:00 PM, at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Ave., Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Service will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, February 13, 2026, at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Ave, Robstown, Texas. Interment will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery in Robstown, Texas.

As we say goodbye, we entrust Vangie to the mercy of God, confident that she now rests in eternal peace. Though our tears may never fully dry and our hearts may never feel whole again, we find comfort in knowing that her love did not end, it was transformed. Vangie’s spirit lives on in every prayer whispered, every memory shared, and every act of love inspired by her life.

In Loving Memory
Fredrick Jacobo
July 9, 1973 - February 3, 2026

It is with humble hearts, trembling souls, and a sorrow too heavy for words to explain as the Jacobo Family shares the passing of Fredrick Jacobo, who at the loving age of 52, was called home to be with Our Heavenly Father on February 3, 2026, surrounded by the love, prayers, and tears of his devoted family. Fredrick’s departure has left a silence so deep, and a pain so profound, that it echoes through the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Fredrick was born on July 9, 1973, in Corpus Christi, Texas, the cherished son of Pilar Jacobo Sr. and Senovia Carrera Jacobo. From his earliest days, Fredrick carried the values his parents instilled in him in having faith in God, to have respect for hard work, to be loyal to his family, and to have a heart that never turned away from those in need. These values helped shape the man Fredrick became and defined the life he lived so selflessly. Fredrick was a Catholic who found comfort and strength in his faith as he attended St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Banquete. In moments of joy and in seasons of hardship, Frederick often leaned on prayer, trusting in God’s plan even when the road was heavy. Fredrick’s faith was quiet yet unwavering, as it reflected in the way he loved others with patience, humility, forgiveness, and an open heart. For over 25 years, Fredrick dedicated himself to his work as a farmer with TK Land & Cattle, as farming was not just his livelihood, it was also his way of life. Under the vast Texas sky, with dirt on his hands and sweat on his brow, Fredrick found purpose. He understood the rhythm of the land, the value of perseverance, and the dignity that comes from honest labor. He often worked tirelessly, never complaining, always providing, and teaching by example that nothing worthwhile comes without effort. When Fredrick wasn’t working, he found joy in the simple pleasures that brought people together, where his delicious barbecue was legendary, that was made with love, patience, and always shared with family and friends. He was a devoted Baltimore Ravens fan, eagerly awaiting football season each year, cheering with passion and loyalty, win or lose. He also enjoyed sharing a cold beer, a good laugh, and a story or two with those around him, always ready to make memories, always ready to celebrate life. Yet above all else, Fredrick’s greatest joy was his family, who were the light of his life, the reason behind every sacrifice, every long day, every prayer whispered in silence. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a grateful grandfather, a caring brother, a cherished godfather, and a loyal friend. Fredrick’s grandchildren held a special place in his heart, as he delighted in teaching them about farming, about responsibility, about the value of hard work, and about love that never fades. Fredrick was the kind of man whose presence made others feel safe, seen, and loved. He gave without expecting anything in return, listened without judgment, and loved without condition. Fredrick’s kindness was genuine, his laughter contagious, and his absence now feels unbearable.

He now goes home to Our Heavenly Father in Heaven, reunited once again with his beloved parents, Pilar Jacobo Sr. and Senovia Carrera Jacobo, his dear sister, Esther Bueno his brother-in-law, Eric Flores, and his nephew, Benjamin Ryan Flores, who preceded him in death. One can only imagine the tears of joy, the loving embraces, and the peace that surrounded their reunion as they welcomed him into eternal rest.

Fredrick leaves to cherish his everlasting memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of his loving wife of 35 years, Christina Gonzales Jacobo; his children, Beaonca (Jessica Landeros) Jacobo, Dre Jacobo, Samantha (Theodore Watrin) Jacobo, Joseph (Brandy DeLeon) Jacobo, Rafael “Nemo” (Leah Aguilar) Jacobo, Emma Jacobo, Jacqueline “Jackie” Jacobo, and Sierra Jacobo; his brothers, Pilar (Gloria) Jacobo Jr. and Christopher (Abigail) Jacobo Sr.; his in-laws, Gerardo (Guadalupe) Tijerina; his sisters-in-law, Maria (Mando) Sendejo, and Angie (Jay) Martinez; his brothers-in-law, Mark (Nicole) Gonzales and Albert Bueno; his treasured grandchildren, Jace Jacobo, Briella Jacobo, Joseph Jacobo Jr., and Jalen Jacobo; his beloved goddaughters, Valerie Serna and Abigail Fuentes; along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many dear friends whose lives were forever changed by knowing him.

The Jacobo Family extends a sincere and heartfelt invitation to all family and friends to join them as they gather to pray, remember, and honor the life of Fredrick Jacobo, as a visitation will be held on Thursday, February 19, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, with a Holy Rosary to be recited at 7:00 PM, at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Ave., Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 AM on Friday, February 20, 2026, at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, 4317 Fourth St., Banquete, Texas. Interment will follow in Banquete Cemetery in Banquete, Texas.

Though our hearts are shattered and our tears seem endless, we hold onto the promise of our faith, that death is not the end, but a beginning. We trust that Fredrick now rests in God’s eternal peace, free from pain, watching over us with the same love he showed us in life. May he rest in eternal peace until we meet again.

The Jacobo Family would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to Mr. Sidney Near of TK Land & Cattle, a boss who truly loved and took care of Fredrick throughout the many years they worked together. Mr. Sidney’s kindness, generosity, and genuine concern for Fredrick will forever be remembered and deeply appreciated. A special thank you is also extended to his wife, Mrs. Kathy Otahal, for her compassion, support, and thoughtfulness during this most difficult time. The Jacobo Family is forever grateful for the love and care shown to Fredrick and to their family.

Pallbearers will be Marcus Fuentes Sr., Mark Gonzales, Samuel DeLuna Jr., Rogelio Ibarra, Josh Jacobo, Eric Flores, Felix Garcia, and Ruben Delossantos Sr. Honorary Pallbearer will be Jace Jacobo.

In Loving Memory
Lucia Luna Castro
July 10, 1941 - February 4, 2026

It is with hearts shattered by endless grief and souls weighed down by unimaginable sorrow as the Castro and Luna Families share the passing of their beloved matriarch, Lucia Luna Castro, who at the blessed age of 84, was gently called home by Our Heavenly Father in Heaven on February 4, 2026. Words fall painfully short in expressing the depth of this heartbreaking loss, as a light so constant, so loving, and so faithful has been taken from this world and returned to Our Heavenly Father.

Lucia was born on July 10, 1941, in the humble and close-knit town of Robstown, Texas, the cherished daughter of Jesus Maria Luna and Esperanza Carrasco Luna. From the very beginning of her life, Lucia was formed by faith, family, and sacrifice, values she carried with her every single day of her earthly journey. Lucia was a lifelong resident of Robstown, a town she loved deeply and served quietly through her example of devotion, kindness, and unwavering love for others. Lucia was a devout Catholic and a faithful parishioner of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Robstown, where her voice became a familiar comfort to many as she sang at the 9:00 a.m. Mass with El Inspiración Alegre Choir. Lucia’s faith was not something she spoke loudly about, rather it was something she lived. Lucia trusted God through every joy and every sorrow, clinging to her rosary through life’s hardest trials and holding it close until her very last breath. Lucia was the heart of her home and the soul of her family, where she was a devoted homemaker, as she raised her five children with boundless love, tireless dedication, and quiet strength. She made sure her family never lacked, not just in material needs, but in warmth, guidance, and unconditional love. Lucia’s home was a place of comfort, laughter, prayer, and togetherness. Lucia looked forward to the holidays, where she poured her love into every dish she prepared, especially her delicious baked goods, her mouth-watering tamales, and her unforgettable home-cooked meals that brought generations together around the table. Those meals were never just food; they were expressions of Lucia’s love, tradition, and family unity. When she wasn’t caring for her home and loved ones, Lucia found joy in the simple pleasures of life like playing Bingo, trying her luck with the lotto, shopping trips, long lunches at her favorite restaurants, and occasional outings to gamble with friends. Yet nothing, absolutely nothing, brought her greater happiness than spending time with her grandchildren. They were her pride, her joy, and her greatest blessing. Lucia was always ready to help, always willing to serve, always present when her family needed her the most. She was a loving and devoted daughter, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and friend. Lucia’s life was marked not by ease, but by endurance even though she faced tremendous challenges through strokes, cancer, and countless hardships, never once did she surrender her faith. Through every trial, Lucia trusted God’s plan, whispering prayers through tears, holding her rosary tightly, and teaching all who knew her what it meant to persevere with grace.

She now returns to Our Heavenly Father in Heaven to be reunited once again with her beloved parents, Jesus Maria Luna and Esperanza Carrasco Luna; her dear brothers, Roberto Luna and Raul Luna; her precious granddaughter, Victoria Ruiz; and her cherished great-grandson, Angel David Castro. One can only imagine the tearful and glorious reunion at the gates of Heaven, as their arms wrapped tightly around one another, and sorrow transformed into eternal joy.

Lucia leaves to mourn her absence and to cherish her everlasting memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of her devoted husband of 66 years, Teodoro “Ted” Castro, the love of her life, whom she met in 1957 and married on December 28, 1958; her children, Teodoro (Raquel) Castro Jr., Ricardo (Belinda) Castro, Gilbert (Esmeralda) Castro, Diane (Alex) Rubio, and Danny (Melissa) Castro; her siblings, Reynaldo (Lesvia) Luna, Jesus (Hortencia) Luna Jr., Rene (Angelica) Luna, Maria Lydia (The Late Jose) Cabrera, and Lucillia (Ramiro) Elizondo. Lucia was further loved and blessed with seventeen grandchildren, twenty-seven great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild on the way, along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless friends whose lives were forever changed by her unending love.

The Castro Family humbly and lovingly invites all loved ones and friends to join them as they gather to mourn, to pray, and to celebrate the beautiful life of Lucia Luna Castro, as a visitation will be held on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with a Holy Rosary to be recited at 7:00 p.m. that same evening, at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Avenue, Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, February 16, 2026, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 204 Dunne Avenue, Robstown, Texas. Interment will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery, in Robstown, Texas.

Though her earthly presence has ended, Lucia’s spirit lives on in every prayer whispered, every family gathering shared, every recipe passed down, and every memory held close to the heart. Lucia’s legacy is one of faith, sacrifice, and unconditional love that will endure for generations to come. May Our Lord grant Lucia eternal rest, and may perpetual light shine upon her forever.
