It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul Caldera Rendon, a beautiful soul who touched the lives of all who knew him. Born on December 13, 2023, in Austin, Texas, to loving and proud parents, Crystal Dawn Forrest and Silvestre Rendon, Paul brought immeasurable joy and boundless love to his family and everyone fortunate enough to have met him.
Tragically, Paul's time with us was far too short. On January 5, 2024, at Dell Children's Hospital in Austin, Texas, our precious angel peacefully left this world at only 23 days old. The weight of grief may burden our souls today, but we choose to celebrate the extraordinary life he lived and the lasting impact he had on those around him.
Paul will forever be held close in our hearts as a precious soul whose impact cannot be fully put into words. The memories we cherish of him will continue to live on, a constant reminder of the immense courage embodied by this remarkable baby boy.
The family kindly requests donations be made to Ronald McDonald House Charities or Dell Children's Hospital. By honoring Paul's memory with this gesture, we continue his legacy of bringing light into the lives of those in need.
A time of visitation to honor and celebrate Paul's incredible life will be held from 5-7 pm on Friday, January 12, 2024, at Harper-Talasek Funeral Home in Belton.
