Roberto

Valdez Quiroz

Robert Quiroz Valdez, 68, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family.

Robert was a devoted father, son, brother, and friend whose life was defined by his love for his family. He was a proud father of three children: Robert Avalos-Valdez, Stephanie Marie Avalos-Valdez, and Frank Jacob Valdez. As a single father, Robert worked hard to provide for his children and create a loving home for them. His mother, Diamantina Quiroz Valdez, was a constant and cherished presence in their lives, helping raise his three children and sharing a bond with Robert that went far beyond that of mother and son. She was his mother, his confidant, and his best friend.

In his younger years, Robert proudly served in the United States Navy, carrying with him the strength and dedication that would remain a part of who he was throughout his life. He later spent many years working at H-E-B, where he dedicated himself to providing for his family.

Robert had a personality and spirit that made him unforgettable. He enjoyed rooster fighting, loved all kinds of music, and took great pride in being a wonderful cook. He had a special love for western movies and reading books, enjoying the stories and adventures they brought to life. He found joy in the simple things and in spending time with the people he loved. Above all, his family was at the heart of his life.

Robert leaves behind his beloved mother, Diamantina Quiroz Valdez; his three children, Robert Avalos-Valdez, Stephanie Marie Avalos-Valdez, and Frank Jacob Valdez; his sisters, Dora Peña and Silvia Hernandez; and his brother, Victor Valdez. He also leaves behind cherished memories that will continue to live on through his family and all those who knew and loved him.

Though his passing leaves an emptiness that cannot be filled, his love, his stories, his music, his cooking, and the memories he created with his family will remain forever.

May he rest peacefully, surrounded by the love of the family he devoted his life to.
