A memory I will always keep close to me, he bought my brother and I our 1st BB gun and witness my first bird kill. I cherish that BB gun and one day I will pass it on to my son.
Grandpa taught me as much as anybody besides my father, he taught me how to take care of family and appreciate the little things.
I love you gramps and, I will forever keep you in my heart! I know you will be watching over me.
Until we meet again.
Love , El Pinche Guero

I used to always ask God why I was blessed with 5 boys. When you came home from the hospital, God finally answered me. It was then, I knew, He had prepared me for this final journey with you. It was a pleasure! I love you Pops!

Q: What will you never forget about Epifanio?
A: Grandpa would always play with me growing up, whether it was shooting each other with BB guns, or just him chasing me around. He taught me a lot of stuff on how to work. He never judged me for my looks as I got a lot of tattoos he would always tell me I love you no matter what you do to your body. Grandpa I will always miss you and love you

I was sadden to hear of your passing, Epi. You were the first-born cousin and the legacy you created speaks volumes of the man you were. I am remembering when I was young and my father would visit your father, he would say, "I am visiting the brother with all the sons." I will miss you Epi. My condolences to Victoria and all your children who love you dearly. May God comfort and bring them peace, knowing that it's not goodbye but until we see each other again. Much love to them.

To my favorite dancing partner
You taught me everything that I need to in my 22 years of life. My favorite is when you showed me how to cut a grapefruit on my own. Cause I didn't know how so you proceed to show me. Gonna miss you getting mad at me and our ice cream runs.
Love your favorite granddaughter

To my Seguro,
I came into your family not knowing what to expect. You made me feel right at home from the first day we met. You and my Segura welcomed me with open arms and that I will never forget.
Words can't describe what it means to have had a Seguro as special as you.
I will always remember the day I married your son. With emotional tears and a heavy heart you wiped my tears and said you and Billy are now one. Don't worry about anybody else.
You were a true gentleman . You were full of warmth and care and full of advice. How lucky I was to have a Seguro so perfect.
I remember when I first received my 1st pocket knife. You said all my daughters carry a pocket knife and now that you are in this family here is your pocket knife. After 22 years I still carry it. I never knew how much it comes in handy. I will pass that tradition down to my daughter Camila and to my future daughter in law.
I may not be perfect but I I promise to take care of my Segura and your son, You will forever to be missed.
Love always,
Your favorite daughter in law
Crystal Valdez

Precious memories from you and mom renewing your vows, to you walking me down the aisle. “And don’t bring her back!” Lol, you were always a character daddy. You always gave me the courage to get up and sing. I’ll never forget our last time together at the cannon bar. You made me go up and sing some Selena for you while you danced. Siempre en mi corazon! ❤️

Pops, I feel lucky to have had you as my father. You and mom taught me how to be a strong woman. You taught me to be independent and taught me amazing life skills. You also showed me how I don't always have to be mean. But you also showed me how mean to be when I had to be. The most special advice you gave me when I was 12, was how to care for my husband. Thank you for our talks, our amazing adventures, and for keeping some secrets from mom. You definitely knew how to keep a secret. It was a pleasure to have been able to take care of you when you needed me. My journey with you has been a blast! Remember... behave, don't give everyone a hard time, and like I would always tell you.... See you later.
Love you always,
Erika

A Father’s work never ends.
My Father once died & went to the gates of heaven where there he argued with God himself.
God sent him back before his time because there was still work that was waiting for him.
A Father’s work never ends.
My Grandfather worked for more than half of life to serve his family, putting God first in all things.
God saw that his work was good & said come home my son so that you can work closer to me.
A Father’s work never ends.
There will be days that you feel you can’t finish your work but God will show you mercy.
That is because your Father in Heaven is still working for you, arguing with God to give you grace.
A Father’s work never ends.
I know this is true because my Father has already told me that he died once & went to the gates of heaven where there he argued with God himself.
God sent him back because…
A Father’s work never ends.
Rejoice in paradise Captain, Epifanio Valdez Jr. My Grandpa!
