Joe Oscar Soliz (86) passed away peacefully at home on June 24, 2024. He was born on December 26, 1938, in New Braunfels, Texas to parents Melecio and Corina Soliz. He is reunited in heaven with his beloved wife Catalina Soliz, his parents, brother Roland Soliz, Melecio Jr., and sister, Janie Muniz.

Joe served faithfully at St. Leonard's for over 45 years in various ministries to include ACTS where he gained the nickname "Papa Joe." He loved to travel, specifically to casinos and on cruises. He will be missed and leaves a huge hole in the hearts of all who loved him. We rejoice that he is now whole in mind, body, and spirit and in the arms of Jesus.
