Raul Ochoa Jr, 51, gained his wings and arrived at heavens gates on Saturday, March 16, 2024 peacefully after fighting a long, hard two year battle with liver cancer. A vistitation will be held at Southern Hills Church of Christ at 10:00am on Friday, March 22, 2024 with a service to follow at 11:00am. A graveside service will be held at 2:00pm at the Tuscola Cemetery.

Raul was born on September 9, 1972 in Abilene, Texas to Raul Sr. and Nenia Ochoa.

He was a proud Jim Ned alum class of 1991. Raul was a caring and encouraging father and a loving and nurturing husband. He never met a stranger. He would welcome you with open arms and never judged a soul. He was courageous and resilient, and always stayed positive no matter the situation or circumstances. He always kept his same goofy personality and could always make you laugh. His best friends were his children and his grandkids.

He was survived by his wife Robin Ochoa, parents Raul Ochoa Sr and Nenia Ochoa, brothers Tony Garza and Bobby Ochoa Sr., sister April Ochoa, children Garrett Cochran and wife Kaylea Burks, Faith Ochoa and husband Tanner Rees, Raul Ochoa III and wife Cheyanna Ochoa and grandchildren Haizlie Cochran, Drew Cochran, Colson Rees, and Karter Rees.

Raul was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
