Concepcion Nava Nunez

Concepcion "Lupe" Nava Nunez, 78, passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 4, 2026, in Houston, Texas.

He was born on October 3, 1947, in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Houston became the place he called home for most of his life, where he raised his family, built lasting friendships, and became known by many who shared his passions.
