A true believer, he found solace and strength through his faith and was actively involved in his church, The Pentecostals of Weslaco, where he went above and beyond to support his extended church family.
Geronimo was a humble man whose heart was full of love. His legacy lives on in the cherished memories he created with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He touched countless lives with his kindness and compassion, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.
