Guadalupe G. Jimenez

Guadalupe G. Jimenez, 79, entered into eternal rest on November 30, 2025, in Harlingen, Texas. A devoted family man and a true jack of all trades, Guadalupe dedicated his life to hard work and service. He built a long and respected career with Leal Construction, Ballenger Construction, and Zachary Construction, retiring in 2009. Skilled in construction, electrical work, and plumbing, he was known for his determination, craftsmanship, and unwavering work ethic. Outside of work, Guadalupe found joy in the simple and meaningful moments of life. He had a gifted green thumb and lovingly cared for his garden and his chickens. He was a grill master who delighted in cooking for those he loved. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening, going out to eat, and spending time with his family. He also appreciated quiet evenings watching the GRIT channel, especially episodes of Bonanza and The Rifleman. Guadalupe is survived by his six children: Rosalinda Jimenez of Santa Rosa; Belinda Jimenez of Santa Rosa; Normalinda Vela (Ricardo) of La Feria; Irmalinda Garcia (Jesus) of Rio Hondo; Jennifer Villarreal of Santa Rosa; and Gilbert Jimenez of Santa Rosa. He is also survived by thirteen grandchildren, Isaiah Jaso, Desiree Jimenez, Beatriz Martinez, Adalida Salazar, Eleazar Vela, Angelina Vela, Elijah Vela, Jose G. Torres, Ruperto Martinez, Amri Garcia, Ylianna Garcia, Jake Villarreal, Paisely Jimenez, and two great-grandchildren, Clarissa Salazar and Aleiyah Amor Salazar. Five sisters, three brothers, and numerous nieces and nephews also cherish his memory. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Esmeralda C. Jimenez; his parents, Romulo and Victoriana Jimenez; and two brothers, Ramon Jimenez and Daniel Jimenez, Sr. Visitation will be held on Friday, December 5, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with a rosary at 7:00 PM at the Rudy Garza Chapel of Peace in Harlingen. Funeral services will follow on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the same location, with interment to take place at Santo Nombre Cemetery in Santa Rosa, Texas.
