Ybarra

Rebecca G. Ybarra, lovingly known to everyone as “Becky,” was born on August 28, 1951, in Brownsville, TX.  When Becky came into this world, life became so much sweeter to all who crossed her path.  Her smile would light up a room.  Her laugh was contagious.  She was tiny, but she was filled with more love than most people could possibly long for. 

Becky loved taking road trips to see her family.  Nothing made her happier than to spend time with her immediate and extended family.  It didn’t have to be fancy … just a table, chairs, food, laughter, and plenty of time to joke around with those she held so dear to her heart.  Another group she loved spending time with was her church family and sisters in Christ.  The bond that was shared came from the love of the Lord.  What a blessing the church always was to Becky.

But the One who Becky loved most – and it was very evident in her life – was her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  All who knew Becky could immediately sense there was something different about her.  Her steadfast love and faith in the Lord through the hardships in her life were always a true testament of her commitment to God.  God was everything to Becky.  And because of her faith in Christ, on July 26, 2024, the day she passed away, Becky’s faith became sight; and she entered the presence of the One who saved her.  Becky will be greatly missed, but she is now in a place where there is no more sickness, no more pain.  She has been made whole.

Becky was preceded in death by her loving husband (Toby Ybarra), loving son (Danny Serna), parents (Herlindo and Leonor Gracia), sister (Angelica Garcia), and sister (Gloria Trevino).  She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law (Precilla and Victor Silva, III), grandson (Isaac Serna), granddaughter (Victoria Serna), great-grandson (Jeremiah Serna), brother (Oscar Gracia) and wife (Patti), sister (Elizabeth Fernandez) and husband (Santiago), and brother (Abel Gracia) and wife (Josie), along with many cousins, nephews, and nieces.

William Leyendecker Bustillo

June 12, 1951 - April 7, 2024

William “Willie” Leyendecker Bustillo was born June 12, 1951 in San Antonio, Texas to Rudolph and Mary Bustillo. He was a true son of the Southside of San Antonio and a proud resident of the Bustillos Drive neighborhood. Willie took great pride in living on the land granted to his ancestor Jose Domingo Esteban Bustillos after serving as the alcalde (mayor) of San Antonio in 1816. Willie was also a 9th-generation descendant of Joseph Padron, one of the original Canary Islanders who founded the first civil government in Texas, the Villa de Bejar (San Antonio). Willie was a member of the Canary Islanders Descendants Association (CIDA), and he took great pride in his family history and worked to keep it alive for the younger generations.

Willie graduated from Harlandale High School as a part of the class of 1969. The rebellious spirit of his graduating class lived on in Willie for decades to come. He also earned an associate’s degree from St. Philip’s College. 

Willie was an avid fisherman and hunter and loved sharing his pastime with those whom he loved. His boys fondly remember fishing trips to Bob Hall pier in Corpus Christi and deep sea fishing for king fish from dawn until dusk. Willie was known to always catch the most redfish. He was sure to teach all his children how to draw hunter bows and properly handle firearms. During one of his last visits with his children and grandchildren, Willie took everyone shooting creating a lifetime of memories down through generations. 

Wow, did Willie have collections! Starting from a young age, baseball cards were his “currency” that he would exchange with his brothers.  Then came coins, Beanie Babies, random car parts in his parent’s garage, and vinyl records. Always looking for the newest collection, Willie was sure to showcase his collections and be up for a deal, if you dared. 

Growing up, Willie had a love for classic cars. Known for identifying any car he could see driving down the road, Willie shared his car knowledge with all his friends and family. Always ready to share car repair or car-buying advice, Willie’s sons followed in his footsteps with an appreciation for cars and their rebuilds. When his sons showed an interest in car repairs, Willie took them shopping for stereo systems and tools to “create” their dream rides. 

Willie was known for being passionate, opinionated, and most of all, authentic. In true Bustillo fashion, Willie enjoyed sitting around with his sons, daughter, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren to share his “Bustillo life advice and wisdom.” With a warm fire and cold beer in hand, everyone knew that story time was bound to bring plenty of laughs and maybe some tears.  Whether he shared life advice or a shoulder to cry on, Willie knew how to speak to our hearts. 

Willie was husband to Lynne Lopez;  the proud father of three children, William Jr. (Jessica), Robert (Nicole), and Andrea; and grandfather to Payton, Harlyn, Autumn, Jynsyn, and Liam. He was the middle brother to Rudolph Jr. and Freddie; brother-in-law to Gloria, Fred, Grace, Glenda (Jim), Ramona, Larry, Harold [deceased]; and uncle to Cynthia, Michelle, Marisa, Anneliese, Kristen, Lori, Michael, Matthew, Robert, Anthony, April, Bobbie, Jesse, Jessika, John, Matthew, and Heather.

Please join the family for services at Delgado Funeral Home on April 20,2024 at 4:00pm-6:30pm for a viewing, rosary (beginning at 5pm), and fellowship hour. Per Willie’s request, no ties. Just toss on jeans and a t-shirt to celebrate a great life.

Christopher loved kids. He showed this best by the unconditional love he so naturally provided to his nieces and nephews every chance he had to do so.

Christopher has 6 nieces oldest niece Myracle Hernandez, Elia Hernandez, Zemia Zavala, Mila Martinez, Briella Martinez and baby Kaycee Martinez. Along with 5 nephews oldest nephew Elias Hernandez, James Zavala Jr, Isaiah Martinez, Mathew Martinez and youngest nephew Zaiden Martinez.

Christopher was all about Family First spending quality time together and being there as support for one another. He has a big family with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins that will miss his dearly. 

Whilst people are most interested in talent, God is most impressed by character. Christopher most certainly possessed both. He was a character without a doubt. He possessed a sense of humor that was just out of this word awesome. He knew just the right words to say in time of need or how to make you laugh to see a smile on your face.

His ability to create awe-inspiring art work and his passion for street art alone have made him a legacy in the graffiti art community. Revs street art has left an imprint all around the San Antonio area for many years to come. REVS will forever be remembered and truly missed by everyone no matter if you were near and dear to him personally or only knew of him thru the graffiti art community. "They say that a true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others" Beyond any doubt Revs most certainly was a true artist. He inspired so many people to hone in on their passion for art and embrace the creative genius within them. Now if that isn't a legacy worth remembering then I don't know what is.

In remembrance of Luis Alaquinez, Sr, loved and near to many hearts (1943 – 2023) Luis Alaquinez (80 years old) was surrounded by loving family when he took God’s hand and dearly departed on 30 October 2023. To many, he was known as Luis, but also as a Husband, Dad, Grandpa, uncle, and confidant. 

He was a kind-hearted and loving man who dedicated his life to his family in everything that he did.  He enjoyed his work as a machine operator, working on many roadways in San Antonio, for many decades.  He also enjoyed his time outdoors and spending time talking with his family and teaching life lessons to his grandkids.  He appreciated a good dessert with a soda; gatherings with family; helping wherever he could; supported the Duct-tape cause (because anything could be fixed with Duct-tape); almost always let you know what he thought; and rarely ever complained of pain (even at the end of his life).  He was humorous but serious when he needed to be. He was a kind-hearted and loving man and no matter what he did, he was selfless and did it for his family, he dedicated his life to loving and giving; even when he had nothing.

He is preceded by his parents, Lazaro Alaquinez, Sr & Maria Campos Alaquinez; his in-laws; both sisters and two brothers.  He is survived by his wife, Beatrice Alaquinez; son, Luis Jr; daughter’s & grandkids: Doris, Katherine (Patrick Dobbs II and Kaitlynn Dobbs), Jo Ann (Charles and Kevan Medellin, Emily, Amanda, and Christopher Griego), and Jennifer (Jenyssa, Brianha, Travis Jr Phillips and Edward Hinton).

He also leaves behind six great-grandchildren.

Luis’s passing is a loss that will be deeply felt.  He leaves a void in our hearts but also many moments that will be cherished in our hearts.  

When we think of him, we won’t just remember his passing but the moments we shared when we smiled, laughed, and even cried. Every moment with him will forever be important and locked away in our hearts whether it was bad or good, because the time spent with him was well worth every second.  We Love You Daddy and Grandpa.

Jose had a life of ups and downs but he overcame all obstacles and tribulations, he also experienced moments of joy and happiness and content. He served the Lord wholeheartedly and dedicated his life to God. A true man of God, son, brother, uncle, husband, father, and his favorite of all, being a grandfather. 

He always had a smile and a laugh like none other. He was also an impatient man but shared lots of joy and cared for anyone that was in need of help or just anyone that needed a hug, or a friend. He loved to work and always enjoyed his jobs. He loved meeting and talking to people, learning new things everyday, teaching someone what he had learned and praying for everyone he felt needed a prayer.

 He had a huge love for his favorite Mexican soccer team, America. You could always find him sitting up close to the television in his little green sofa, cheering them on. But out of everything, he was a direct man and had principles and a huge dose of faith in the Lord for anything and everything. He would always state, “If it wasn't for the lord, I wouldn’t be here right now, he grants me all the strength and power to keep pushing forward”. His granddaughters were his biggest motivation, his fire and drive to keep on moving. Everything he did was for them. His granddaughters’ will always remember him as “grandpy” and for being the kind, loving, tender, strong man he was. He loved them very much and wanted to be the best grandpa to them. 

He had an imagination like no other and always had thoughts for his children and did for them like any father would. He sacrificed and loved them and showed them the ways of the Lord and to stand strong and trust in Him. His children are forever grateful and will continue to carry on his stern principles and faith in the Lord. He will be in our hearts and minds forever, never forgotten. He will continue to guide and protect each of us everyday until we meet again. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Maria C Hernandez; sons, Jose L Hernandez Jr (Joey), Pedro A Hernandez; daughter, Giovanna I Hernandez; daughter-in-law, Lizbeth Martinez and two beautiful granddaughters, Katalina C Hernandez and Vida G Hernandez.

Joe Mario Perez was born on February 3, 1942, in San Antonio, TX, where he was a lifelong resident and also where he met and married the love of his life, Frances. He entered heaven on the morning of September 18, 2023. He will always be remembered for his zest for all things in life, his lively spirit, his jokes, and his warm smile. 

 Everyone would agree that Joe was one of the funniest people you'll ever know. He was not only funny, clever and wise but confident. Confident in the fact that he could help you with almost anything. He was extremely intelligent, a jack of all trades and had a passion for taking on new projects.  He was knowledgeable of many things. His vast knowledge would allow him to help you with almost any project you were working on, be it plumbing, construction on your home or your vehicle, or even how to help with life’s troubles. He would engage you at any opportunity to discuss politics and give you his unchangeable opinion.

He will be remembered as a Great Father, a dependable Friend, a story teller, a jokester and the life of the party. He took time to enjoy the little things in life, like family get togethers, and holidays spent at their home where he wouldn't hesitate to dance with his sweetheart in the kitchen when a good song came on. He was an avid collector of antique miniature cars, and a lover of dogs, especially Rocky who misses him terribly. Joe will be deeply missed and remembered by his friends, family, and everyone who was fortunate enough to have known him.

Joe leaves behind his wife of 56 years, Frances, his children, Mary Jo, Joe and Amos Jenkins (Son-in law), his grandchildren, Ralph, Sadie, Joe, Jojo, and great grandchildren, Eric, Emarie, Elliott and. Elyus.

Padilla

Rachel T. Padilla, passed away on August 23, 2023, at the age of 94.  Rachel was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Sylvestre Padilla.  Rachel is survived by her three children; Sylvia (Guillermo) Herrera, Sylvester (Yvonne) Padilla Jr. and Steven (Angela) Padilla; and her last surviving sister Natalia (Frank) of Anaheim, CA; plus 11 grand-children, 15 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren; and an abundance of nieces and nephews.

Rachel was born in Floresville, Texas on June 30, 1929.  She grew up in the nearby town of Cañada Verde, Texas.  Rachel was one of eleven children.  Her family grew up poor but the stories she shared were always told in such a way that it was easy to see she loved her life.  She truly loved her mother Antonia Torres and father Blas Torres; in her final days she spoke of them frequently.  

Rachel began working at a young age, her family were migrant farm workers and the whole clan would travel to where the work was; work was hard but her memories told of the good times.  She loved the traveling and making the most of the little time she had to be a child.  Eventually, Rachel moved to San Antonio for employment.  After a long career as a seamstress, Rachel retired but her outstanding skills remained in high demand.  There was nothing she couldn’t do with a needle and thread.  She was constantly making dresses, altering clothes or creating all kinds of things out of cloth.  She enjoyed making things for her family and friends.

Rachel enjoyed her well-earned retirement years playing the game of Bingo.  To say she enjoyed playing Bingo is an understatement, Rachel was a true die-hard Bingo player, she loved the game.  For Rachel, winning was nice but the time she was able to spend with family and friends was the best part.  Rachel was a great cook; her meals were absolutely delicious.  Her tortillas were legendary.  It was amazing to see her prepare an amazing meal in minutes with whatever was at her fingertips.  She loved making huge breakfasts for family on weekends. 

Rachel had such a tremendous faith in Jesus Christ.  Thus, likely the reason she passed in the manner she did.  In the end, Rachel passed peacefully and in her own bed.  And by her side as always was her daughter Sylvia, her constant companion and caregiver but most importantly her best friend.  She wouldn’t have had it any other way.  Mom you will be missed, thank you for all lessons taught, all the stories shared, all the support provided and all the many other things you did for this family. Love you Señorita!

Joe Louis Gonzales

May 4, 1968 - May 30, 2023

Joe Louis Gonzales “Jose Luis”, 55, of Losoya, Texas went to be with the Lord on May 30, 2023. Although his passing was sudden and unexpected his loving parents and family quickly surrounded him with prayer, love, hugs and tender kisses. 

Joe was born to Mary Louise Gallardo and Joe Talerico Gonzales on May 4, 1968.  He was born and raised in Losoya, Tx where he lived out his life until he was called to his eternal home. Joe graduated from Southside High School in 1986 where he was an active trumpet player in the marching band.  Joe started his electrician career at a very young age with Queeny Electric and ended his love for electricity in management as a Journeyman Electrician with Alterman Electric.  He was also a co-owner of Bello’s Korner Store-Valero on the Southside of San Antonio. 

Joe was an active member of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church where he volunteered in many parish activities. He enjoyed helping the Guadalupana Society with donating his sound system and talents for various fundraising events.  He also served, for many years, as the Grand Knight of The Knights of Columbus Council 10434 and was a proud member of the IBEW Local Union 60.  As a member of the ACTS Ministry he was a lifelong prayer partner to many, always the one to call when in need of prayer.  He took tremendous solace through reciting the St.Michael The Archangel Prayer and touching a few of his favorite religious relics (Padre Pio &  Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos) every morning before he left his home. 

Joe loved music of all genres but his absolute favorite band since high school was Rush in which his band Eminence emulated their music in their own soundtracks.  For decades he was a vocalist, played both the acoustic guitar and the bass, and he played the keyboard. He and his bandmates created a superb recording studio named “The Sanctuary”, where Joe showcased his many talents and where many participated in some truly great times. He loved to play baseball, softball, and was an avid pool player with Bexar County 8-Ball League, BALSA, and other pool leagues, where he played for various establishments such as the Harlendale Memorial VFW Post 4815.

Joe lived a full and vibrant life enjoying quality time with his friends, family, and serving his community.  He would take his mother on weekly site-seeing adventures all over San Antonio and the surrounding areas, where they always stopped at the cemeteries to pray for all the departed souls of family and friends. Joe lost his beloved fur companion Rocky, a few days before he was called, now they’re reunited. He was an amazingly animated storyteller.  He loved vocabulary and researched everything he could. Though he never claimed to know everything, he was known as the guy that knew something about everything. 

Joe was known for his kind generous heart and was loved by anyone who met him. With his engaging personality, magnificent smile, contagious laugh, and warm presence, he truly never met a stranger.  He was humble, tremendously strong, religiously faithful, giving, hardworking and extremely talented in music, mechanics, welding, sports, carpentry, camping, fishing, electric work, and he loved the outdoors.  In fact, he never passed up an opportunity to fish; he truly loved fishing and would have fished everyday if he could! As a teenager Joe built his own legendary hotrod out of the family Nova. He would race his “Mean Green Machine” at Alamo Dragway in San Antonio, TX. He had a newspaper route in which he delivered out of that thunderous hotrod.

Joe will be deeply missed by his mother, Mary L. Gallardo of San Antonio, Texas; his father, Joe T. Gonzales and his wife, Marie E. Gonzales of San Antonio, Texas; loving sisters: Marina A. Bello and Fiancé’ Robert H. Gutierrez of San Antonio, Texas and Christelle R. Gonzales of Keene, New Hampshire; Eminence brothers, best-friends and confidants: Mario A. Gallardo (cousin), Harold Mitchell and Manual Lopez; step-siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

"Remember Me"

To the living, I am gone,

To the sorrowful, I will never return,

To the angry, I was cheated,

But to the happy, I am at peace,

And to the faithful, I have never left.

I cannot speak, but I can listen.

I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.

So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea,

As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity,

Remember me.

Remember me in your heart:

Your thoughts, and your memories,

Of the times we loved,

The times we cried,

The times we fought,

The times we laughed.

For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.

Albury

Richard Larry Albury, was born December 30, 1968, and passed away May 2, 2023, at home with his family by his side, and for all of us that knew him we know that’s what meant most to him. Known by many names – Ricky, Rick, Dad, Daddy-o, Peepaw, Slick Rick, Honky, Babe – he leaves behind a legacy as a family man that few can achieve. Lucky enough to have found his life’s partner at such a young age, together they built a family with unconditional love and care. Rick - a loyal husband, a loving father to four children and 2 grandkids, a kind friend to all who knew him – lived a life worth remembering.

Rick was many things to many people. Lover, father, mechanic, thrower of epic New Years Eve parties, remote learning teacher. He did it all.

It’s near impossible to sum up someone’s life in a few words but it’s far easier to understand it by looking at what he leaves behind. He and his wife shared a deep love and taught their kids that family, above all else, is what this life is all about. While he may not be here with us anymore, through his kids and his grandkids and the lessons they learned from him, he will live on forever.

Knowing Rick, he is up in heaven casting a line, cracking a beer, shouting “never buy a Ford”, waiting for the day when he can hold his love in his arms again so they can continue the journey they started. For those of us left behind and had the honor of knowing you, thank you!

Rick was preceded in death by his mother, father, and sister. He is survived by his wife, Seferina Albury. His children, Elizabeth Ann Albury, Valerie Ann Albury, Robert Richard Albury, and Sabrina Ann Donaldson (Antwane). His grandchildren, Albury JoAnn Sadowski, Blake Richard Albury and coming soon Baby Ricky.

He also is survived by his siblings, in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, and an abundance of family to carry on his memory.

Celis

Jesse John Celis was born on August 7, 1955, to Ruby Davila Celis and Joe Ignacio Celis in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He liked to proudly recall his memorable entry into the world by informing people he was born on a bench at the Greyhound Bus Station when his expectant mother arrived by bus in Las Cruces to visit family. John passed away peacefully at home in his sleep on April 26, 2023, at the age of 67. He attended Christ the King Catholic School, Irving Middle School, and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. In 1976, he married JoAnn Alvarado, moved to Oceanside, California, and they raised their two children, Jesse John II and Annie Laurie.

John was a successful auto mechanic who, as a small child, learned the inner workings of motors, carburetors, and brakes from his father. He was a "natural" with machines and possessed unsurpassed skills for diagnosing the entire automobile, completing customer repairs in record time. He once bought a 1955 Chevy Nomad in pieces and, to the amazement of many, rebuilt the vehicle, improving it with a fuel injection motor, making it like no other. Doing things right and making improvements satisfied him. John often made his own tools enabling him to complete any job with high quality and greater efficiency. At Dixon Ford and Hoehn Motors, he was a recognized top technician, and customers like Ray Miller relied on this skill and John's contributions to the book by Miller published in 1978 by the Evergreen Press , entitled "Mustang Does It." You can see John’s detailed contributions in this book , complete with photos , on page 139. He was only 23 years old at the time. Later, before moving back to Texas, he owned and operated his own auto repair shop in Oceanside , equipping it with the latest technology and diagnostic tools . His reading deficit was not a barrier to his success. He was a quick, creative study with professional training, knowledge and experience that spanned decades as he kept pace with the automobile industry changes that took him from the earlier technology of carburetors and points to the age of fuel injection and electronics. He had an innate understanding of compression, thermodynamics, velocity, friction, acceleration, and force . He was an engineer.

He valued friendship, family, and gathering with those he loved. Many describe John as a man who would take the shirt off his back to help a friend. He was generous, strong, and compassionate with his time, often identifying with the less fortunate and cheering them on. He was competive and athletic and could quickly perfect the technique of any sport he attempted. John enjoyed being outdoors in nature best. He liked his morning walks with his caregivers and engaging with his friends at the Grace Place, the Commander's House, Chase Bank, Las Salsas Restaurant, and his favorite - Jim's Restaurant. He was an early riser, often up by 6 AM . He looked forward to greeting and waving to neighbors daily from his front yard bench as they passed by and he enjoyed visiting his brother, Joe, nearly every day . John especially loved the daily phone calls with his children and the videos, cards, and photos they sent, which he added to his large photo album and viewed often. His greatest joys and accomplishments were his children and his grandson, Edwin Lou Iruk.

John was preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Ruby Celis; sisters Irma Celis Rivera, Yvonne Celis, and Sarah Celis Hildebrand (Jesse); his brothers Larry Celis and Ted Celis (Olivia). He is survived by his children Jesse John Celis II, Annie Celis Iruk (Kurt); his grandson, Edwin Lou Iruk; brother Joe Celis Jr. (Rosa); sisters Grace Celis Dominguez (Carl) and Shirley Celis Jackson (Joe), and many nieces, nephews, cousins. The family wishes to acknowledge the care and friendship provided by Eloisa Hernandez, Alexandra Soto, Elizabeth Kipp, Bernadette Vasquez, and Linda Gonzalez of Family Services Association.

A memorial Mass will be held for Mr. Celis at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, 223 E. Summit Ave., San Antonio, Texas 78212 on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 – A Rosary will be recited at 9:30 AM, and a Mass will follow at 10:00 AM. Care and cremation services by Delgado Funeral Home.

Lopez

In loving memory of Daniel C. Lopez, who peacefully passed away on April 15th, 2023, at the age of 83, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. Dan was a devoted husband, son, brother, grandfather, and friend, but above all, he was known as "Pa" to his beloved grandchildren.

Dan's beautiful love story with his wife Linda began when they met in 1963. He knew right away that she was the one he had been waiting for, and they shared 57 wonderful years of marriage together. Their love was a shining example of what true devotion and commitment look like, and their bond will continue to inspire those who knew them.

As a father, Dan was a pillar of strength and a source of unwavering support for his children - Daniel (Christina) Lopez and Robert Lopez. He was a role model to his younger brother Andy Lopez, and sister, Celia Lopez, and their bond was unbreakable. Daniel was a doting grandfather to Robert (Stefanie) Lopez, Danielle (Timothy) Villalpando, Dana Lopez, Daniel Lopez, Charlize Lopez, and Sienna Lopez, who brought immense joy and happiness to his life. He was also a beloved great-grandfather to Robert ‘Robbie’ Lopez, Michael Ford, Noah Villalpando, and Lily Lopez.

Dan was a family man through and through, and nothing brought him more joy than spending time with his loved ones. He always made sure to be the sweet and loving husband his wife deserved, the good father his sons needed, and the best "Pa" to his grandchildren.

He cherished the simple things in life, like raising pigeons and fishing in his free time. He also had a passion for football and was a loyal fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Every Sunday, he looked forward to his weekly visits from his sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who were the light of his life.

The void left by Dan's passing is immeasurable. His infectious laughter, warm hugs, kind gestures, and simple but sweet words will be missed by all who knew him. But we take comfort in knowing that he is now resting in peace, reunited with loved ones who have gone before him. Dan's legacy will live on in the memories of those who knew him, and his love will continue to shine brightly in our hearts forevermore.

Rest in peace, Dan, and know that you will be forever loved and missed.

SSG (Ret) Zamora joined the United States Army in 1961 and had a combined service of 22 years between active duty, reserve, and the Texas Army National Guard. He retired in 1993 after serving active duty with the 217 th Evac Hospital of the Texas Army National Guard. SSG (Ret) Zamora used his skills as a rifle marksman and auto mechanic to serve his country and our State of Texas.

Norverto also provided many years of professional service as a mechanic to the former Jack Rieger Chrysler Plymouth Company in San Antonio. He was the “go-to” mechanic of the family and for many friends until recent years. Loyal to family and friends to his core, Norverto never accepted payment for doing auto mechanical work, instead telling them to “just buy me a Coors Light or a six pack.”

Norverto has been described as one who definitely made his presence known when entering a room. Always one to tell a joke with the most colorful language possible, he never failed to get a laugh from those being told his animated version. Recent conversations with family members have brought back many stories when he brought a collective laugh at gatherings over the years.

Norverto married his first wife and mother of his children, Josephine (Josie) Sanchez Zamora on April 20, 1963 at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church. She was a source of love and strength throughout their marriage, as well as a fierce force and nurturing mother to their children. Norverto was dealt a harsh challenge after Josie’s very unexpected passing in 2002.

He met Mireya Perez while dining at the former Evita’s Restaurant and they began dating in 2006. After a nearly decade long courtship they were married on the steps of the Bexar County Courthouse on Valentine’s Day 2015. Mireya was a pillar of strength, and devoted all her love and support in recent years as Parkinson’s disease and dementia, progressed and posed many challenges for him.

Norverto was a man who loved going to bingo and gambling. He loved sports especially watching the Super Bowl, the Cowboys Thanksgiving game, the Spurs, or NBA Finals. He also loved going to Las Vegas and the Kickapoo Casino. His favorite local spot was Grissom Bingo where he won games and would split the winnings with any family members who were present.

Norverto is survived by his wife, Mireya (Perez) Zamora, sons, Brendon (B.C.) Cruz Zamora, Abel Cruz Zamora, and daughter Joanna Rose Zamora (Edmundo Rodriguez). His grandchildren, Brendon (B.J.) Cruz Zamora, Jr. (Aureli Zamora), Gabriella Zamora, Victoria Zamora, Samantha Zamora. His sisters Rosita Chavarria (Arnulfo), Rita Rodriguez (Albert) and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews also survive him. The family thanks his sister-in-law Maria Perez who served as Norverto’s provider for the last nearly two years.

Visitation will begin at 4PM on Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at Delgado Funeral Home, 2200 W. Martin Street, San Antonio, TX 78207. A Rosary will be recited at 7PM.

Often at times he would blurt out the most random things and have everyone around him laughing. He enjoyed spending time with his grandkids, joking and calling them by their funny nicknames. Oh! And let's not forget, those home cooked meals he loved made by our mom. He had a love of farm animals and had the opportunity to raise a few chickens, ducks, goats and more in his backyard on Wyoming St. He also enjoyed gardening and growing his own fruits and vegetables and would often give them away to his neighbors.

One of Delia’s favorite memories was being selected as the Royal Palace Ballroom Queen in 2009. Her love of dancing and music was one of her hobbies. Wherever she was, you could count on an energetic atmosphere. Other hobbies included playing Bingo, bowling, growing plants and of course, cheering for the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Cowboys.

Delia will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.
