Francisco was born on January 22, 1928, in Presidio, Texas, to Marciana and Trinidad Vega. He was united in marriage to Julia Vega on October 31, 1953, and together they shared a lifetime of love and devotion to family.
Francisco spent many years working on the golf course- a place he loved as both his workplace and joy. He finished his career with Midland County Road & Bridge, operating dirt road equipment. He loved roosters and enjoyed visiting flea markets with his good friend Bob. Family meant everything to him. He loved being surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and he took great pride in the life and family he built.
Francisco is preceded in death by his parents; his siblings, Manuela Hernandez and Natalia Cadena; and his granddaughter, Annette Vega.
He is survived by his wife, Julia Vega; his children Arnulfo Vega (Karla), Abel Vega (Deborah), Angelica Lozano (Abel), and Alfonso Vega (Lisa); 22 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.
He lived a long full life and he will be missed more than words can say but his stories and love will live on through his family.
