Gregorio Reyes Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Gregorio led a remarkable life filled with his passions and accomplishments. He graduated from Pearsall High School class of 1963 and attended St. Phillips College. He was a proud veteran of the United States Army. Prior to his retirement, he dedicated 35 years to a career with Kelly AFB.
He touched the lives of many through his philanthropy, community involvement and contributions to those who needed him. He was an active member of the Holy Family Catholic Church prayer group and Christ the King Prayer Group
He especially enjoyed restoring his 1967 Mustang. Was an avid sports fan whose favorite teams were the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns, but he especially enjoyed watching baseball. His free time was spent outside, BBQing or fishing at the coast and gambling at Kickapoo in Eagle Pass, Texas, to name a few.
We will forever cherish the memories of Gregorio's remarkable life and the impact he made on all those who knew him.
Gregorio is reunited in heaven with his wife of 54 years Maricela J. Reyes and his parents Marcelina Lopez and Gregorio Reyes Sr.
Family members include his four children, Eddie Ortegon (Gloria Ortegon), Crissy Reyes, Michelle R. Benavidez (Martin Benavidez) and Lonnie J. Reyes (David Hernandez); 4 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; 3 siblings, Carlos Reyes, Reymunda Maldonado and Gloria Yanez (Santiago Yanez); in addition to numerous extended family members and friends.
The family will receive guests at Castillo Funeral Home on his birthday, Tuesday, August 13, 2024, from 4:00 pm until 8:00 pm for visitation and at 6:00 pm for a rosary service.
A funeral mass will be conducted on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, at 9:30 am in Holy Family Catholic Church. The burial will be held immediately after mass in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery with full military honors during a committal service
