Jimenez Family, I wanted to share a personal story with you all. A few years ago, my family and I drove a few hundred miles to ensure that my children´s first concert was Flaco. Growing up a Tejano, Flaco was a staple of our family´s music. This picture is posted next to a signed Texas Tornado cover. Our hearts are with you during this difficult time.

He deeply influenced Tejano music and helped popularize it. His contribution is immeasurable. Thank you Flaco for sharing your music with us. You will never be forgotten.

My family shares the sorrow of the Jimenez family and are praying for the peace, healing and comfort of knowing Flaco is with our Lord. Dancing and singing with my granddaughter to 'He is a Tejano' and telling her how the sounds of Flaco's accordion playing make the story come alive! We'll continue celebrate his life by singing & dancing to the music he created and played. Love & Respect from our family.

My deepest condolences. A great legend has earn his wings.

My condolences.
