Mr. Honorio Lara

Honorio was born on September 30, 1952 in Matehuala, San Luis Potosi, Mexico to the late Hermilo Lara and the late Juana Quiroz.

Honorio married his beautiful wife, Maria Guadalupe Hinojosa on October 4, 1980 and were happily married for 25 years.

Honorio attended school in Matehuala, SLP, Mexico. He announced and played movies in nearby ranches and sold travel insurance while in Mexico. 

After making the U.S. his home, he worked as a welder. He then worked for Simmons Mattress Company and later at Wonder Bread. He eventually retired from the City of Dallas for Parks and Recreation after dedicating 25 years of service.

His greatest joys were spending time with his family and friends, singing, dancing, entertaining, playing the guitar, the bajo sexto and the accordion.

He served in the church choir at St. Cecilia and at the Cursillo Center at Our Lady of Lourdes. He also played in a conjunto with his children and a family friend.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Maria Guadalupe Lara; his sister, Aurelia Ontiveros; and his brothers Prisco Lara and Paulino Lara.

He is survived by his daughters, Belinda and Fabiola Lara; his sons, Eric and Christian Lara;  and six loving grandchildren, Gabriel & Giselle Ruiz and Nicolas, Lucero, Julian & Daniel Moreno as well as many nieces and nephews.

He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
