Amado De la Paz, Jr.

Mr. Amado De la Paz, Jr. of Kingsville, Texas, passed away peacefully on August 7, 2024, at the age of 75. He was born on November 20, 1948, in Kingsville, a town that he called home throughout his life.

Amado was a self-employed painter by trade, dedicated to his craft and the beauty he created through his work. His artistic talents showed through every stroke of the brush, leaving a legacy that will be cherished by all who were fortunate enough to witness it.

Those who knew Amado, will remember him for his unwavering strength of character and strong will. Despite these traits, he was a man of deep faith, finding comfort and guidance in his beliefs throughout his life's journey.  Outside of work, Amado found joy in the simple pleasures of life.

One of Amado's greatest treasures in life was his family and friends. He always made time to be with those he loved, creating lasting memories filled with warmth, laughter, and love. His presence will be deeply missed, and may his memory continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and cherished him.

He is preceded in death by his great-grandson, Leon Garza; parents, Amado Sr. and Olivia (Moreno) De La Paz; and brother-in-law, Jesus “Jesse” Garza.
