Nick R Ledesma Jr.

Nick was a man with a big heart and an even bigger smile. His presence brought comfort, laughter, and joy to all who knew him. A devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend, Nick lived a life centered on family, connection, and love. His home was always open, his laughter genuine, and his kindness freely given.

He is survived by his beloved daughter, Michelle Ledesma-Carmona, and son-in-law John Carmona; his cherished grandchildren Travis Ledesma, Ashley-Nicole Ledesma, and Catherine Ledesma-Coy and her husband Phillip; and his adored great-grandchildren Xander, Elijah, and Taliya. He is also survived by his loving sisters Virginia Romo, Clara Torres, and Rose Figueroa; many nieces and nephews; and close cousins Mary Ester Rodriguez, Henry Flores, Richard Flores, and Janie Moya.

Nick was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife of 48 years, Juanita Kay Ledesma; his parents, Nick G. Ledesma, Sr. and Maria S. Ledesma; his sister Linda Botello; and his brother-in-law Cruz Romo, Jr. He now reunites with those he loved dearly.

Nick R. Ledesma, Jr. leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, laughter, and family that will live on for generations. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.

In honor of Nick, we invite everyone to wear burnt orange, white, or black for Texas Longhorn theme for either day.
