Porfirio Bas Obituary
On September 23, 1954, Porfirio M. Bas was born to Fernando and Mercedes Munoz in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. He began his artistic career at a young age and went on to become a singer, actor, musician, composer, arranger, musical director, producer, writer, inventor, and broadcaster. He married Concepcion Monforte on February 14, 1974, in Mexico City. He chose to accept Jesus as his savior in 1984; God has since used him to lead others to Christ through preaching, evangelism, and music. He served as an Evangelist in Mexico, the United States, Guatemala, Colombia, El Salvador, Argentina, Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Africa from 1984 to 1997. He also served as a Pastor and Music Minister at Alliance Baptist Church Lubbock, Primera Iglesia Bautista Lubbock, International Christian Fellowship Lubbock, Cockrell Hill Baptist Church Dallas, Iglesia Bautista Dallas, and Cliff Temple Baptist Church Dallas. He ended his tenure as a Music Minister at One Accord Fellowship Church Lubbock. His passion for music was evident through his many musical works and talents. His second passion after serving Christ was his family who he loved dearly. He also had a great love for flying. He had many hours of flight in training and he loved all facets of aviation.
He was a friend to all and a stranger to no one. He was the purest example of selflessness and patience. To know him was truly to love him.
Survivors include his wife, Concepcion Monforte-Bas; their children, Jimena Monforte, Jorge (Kacie) Monforte; grandchildren, Diego, Rodrigo, Jimena, Pamela, Millie; great-grandchild, Renata; siblings, Carlos, Fernando, Jose, Patricio, Francis.
He was preceded in death by his father, Fernando Munoz Rubio, his mother, Mercedes Bas Lanz, daughter Deborah Monforte.
