John Briones Obituary
John Briones, age 63, passed away on April 25, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.
Born in Slaton, TX on June 24, 1961. John then attended and graduated from Thorndale, TX where he made many lifelong friends. He was able to start his career as an environmentalist with Sisk-Robb Inc and was very hard working and dedicated to his job. When John was not working, he would enjoy his time sitting outside by the grill and enjoying cold one’s with either family and/or friends. He was an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns and would always stay faithful year after year watching them on Saturdays and Sundays. John was a devoted husband of 30 years, a dedicated father, a loving ‘welo’, and beloved friend to all. In his last years, John committed himself to creating beautiful memories with his grandchildren, who were the light of his life.
John’s kind heart, his ability to make others laugh, and his unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
John is preceded in death by his parents, Felix Briones Sr. and Susie Briones. His sister, Beatriz Zuniga and his brother, Felix Briones Jr.
He is survived by his wife, Esther Briones. His children; Matt Briones and Mariahlyne Briones (Jonathan Cruz Romo). Grandchildren; Giselle Sophia Romo and Elias John Briones Romo. His Brothers; Andrew Briones and Catarino Briones (Rebecca Briones).
