Nieves Vasquez

August 6, 1929 - January 14, 2021

Nieves Vasquez was Born in La Feria, Texas on the 06 of august,1929, from parents José de León Vásquez and Fabiola Serrato de Vásquez. Soon after his birth, he was taken by his parents back to México where he grew up. At the near age of 23 (aprox) he met his wife Esther Flores, and desiring to marry her, he left for the USA (since he was a citizen by birth) in order to save money to marry and bring his newly wed wife to Texas. Born to them were two sons (Juan, now 67, and José, now 65), both still living, and were able to care for their parents (both mom and dad were in the ICU unit on the months of December 2020 and January 2021) on these last months of life. Thankfully, his wife Esther is still living at 90 years of age. His favorite work and thus his hobby was ranching. He loved his animals and had a name for each head of cattle he had. We will miss him, but we also rejoice because of the blessed assurance we all have that our dad is the hands of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, where we all must one day join him in bliss and glory. Many thanks to all who on these last days were able to remain close to Nieves, Esther, and family. Visitation will be held on Friday, February 5, 2021 from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a rosary to be recited oat 6:00 p.m. Funeral services will be conducted on Saturday, February 6, 2021. We will depart Rudy Garza Funeral Home at 9:30 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Interment will then follow at Our Lady of Mercy Cemetery. Funeral services are under the direction and care of Rudy Garza Funeral Home of Mercedes Texas. Respectfully: Esther, Juan, and Jose Vásquez
