Felipe De Jesus Reynoso

Felipe de Jesus Reynoso, (66), of Laredo, Texas passed away May 30, 2024, with his daughter and son in law by his side.
Felipe was born to Francisco and Juanita (Juaregui) Reynoso, on December 21, 1957 in Los Angeles, California. From a young age he loved playing and watching sports. He developed an encyclopedic knowledge of sports history and trivia, particularly around the Los Angeles Dodgers. After graduating from high school he turned down a full ride scholarship to the University of Southern California (USC) and instead opted to follow his older brother into military service enlisting in the U.S. Air Force. During his 21 years of service he was stationed in many international locations including Iceland, Korea, Saudi Arabia and Germany. He completed his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Finance and retired with a rank of Master Sergeant.. Following military retirement, Felipe worked for many U.S. contractors as a Budget and Financial analyst. He was proud to be a Veteran and paid his respects to any retired or active service member he came across. You could find him in local shops sitting with another Veteran telling stories of where they had served and military life in the 80s and 90s. Another passion was road bike cycling, completing several century rides and riding just for fun. When his nephew passed away at 16 from leukemia, Dad ran several marathons and century bike rides to raise thousands of dollars for Team in Training for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society. He spoke daily about riding again soon. For the past 3 years he resided in Laredo, Texas close to his daughter and three grandchildren who were his pride and joy. He became a published author of one book (Lala Surviving), and was in the process of completing his second book. His daily pastime was going to his daughters' home and enjoying a cigar on their back porch while watching his grandchildren play. "The best part of my day" he would say. In February of 2024 he gave his life to Christ at Grace Bible Church and was in small bible study groups to grow a closer relationship with the Lord.
Phil's loving spirit will be carried on by his daughter, Rheanna Winters (Luca; their children, Stella Grace (9), Luca Aleksander(7), and Otto William(3)). Brothers: Francisco Reynoso (daughters: Amanda P. Werner, Camille Reynoso Mason, Emily V. Ford, Rachel M Reynoso, and Helena I Messner), Marco Antonio Reynoso (Kathryn Marie, daughters; Jorgetti Marie, Joeli Marie and Jinni-Lou Marie), Luis Arturo Reynoso (Connie,children: Luis Arturo Jr. and Amelia), Jesus Javier Reynoso, sisters: Victoria Genoveva Reynoso (sons; Adrian Kobayashi, Abel Kobayashi), Veronica Reynoso-Dazalla (Cheryl, daughters; Kelsey, and Kylie) and Viviana Villaneda (Frank, daughters: Erika, Paloma and Isabella) He is also survived by many family members across Southern California and Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, Mexico. He is preceded in death by his mother, Juanita Reynoso and father, Francisco Reynoso and nephew Luke Reynoso. The family would like to thank the entire Grace Bible Church community for their support during this time, and close family friend Amanda Condon.
