Reyes Madera Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Reyes was a hard worker and loved his family. His favorite past time was going to support the neighborhood baseball team on the ranch. Reyes and his donkey would ride on the ranch and sometimes take the kids along with him. He had fun taking "joy rides" into town. He had a few cows that he enjoyed keeping up with. He loved to spend time with his family and friends, not to mention drinking a few cold ones along the way. We will miss the times we shared with you in this lifetime. May you rest in peace.
Left to cherish his memory are, sons, Manuel Madera Cruz (Gregoria), Gregorio Madera (Francisca), Leobardo Madera (Manuela), Jose Reyes Madera (Yolanda), and Ipolito Madera Cruz (Luz Elvia); sister, Esther Madera; brother, Arturo Madera (Norma); 12 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Venancia Madera Cruz; daughter, Maria Madera; sisters, Constancia Madera, Aurelia Madera and Francisca Madera; brothers, Juan Madera, Pedro Madera, Martin Madera, and Gregorio Madera.
