Julian Rios, Jr.

With deep sorrow and broken hearts, we announce the passing of Julian Rios Jr., who tragically left us on July 14, 2025, at the age of 33. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Julian was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished son, and caring brother.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Cristina Briseño; his children, Julian Rios III and Denise Briseño; his father, Julian Rios Sr., and his wife, Bethzaira Diaz; and his mother, Adriana Galarza, and her husband, José Sánchez Rodríguez.

Julian also leaves behind his siblings: Andie Rios (wife Monica Rios), Guillermo Rios (wife Ariana Perez), and Julianne Rios (husband Albe Martinez). He was a proud uncle to Audrina and Jayden Rodríguez, Alice and Javier Martinez, and Santiago and Morgan Rios.

He is also survived by his loving grandmother, Concepción Galarza; his uncles and aunts: Abelino and María Rios, Guadalupe and Kandy Beas, Patricia and Juan Rodriguez, Bidal and Susana Treviño, Miguel and Laura Morales, and Mirna Galarza; along with numerous cousins, nephews, and lifelong friends who will forever carry his memory.

Julian had a heart of gold and a smile that could light up any room. He was always respectful, kind, and willing to help anyone in need. His charismatic and caring spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who met him.

Julian was the kind of person who made life brighter just by being in it. He had a way of making everyone feel acknowledged, loved, and valued. His laughter, his hugs, his silly jokes, and his big heart are treasures we will hold onto forever. We miss him more than words can say, but we are so proud to have loved and been loved by him.

You will always be with us, Julian in every memory, every smile, and every quiet moment when we feel your spirit near.
