Victor Joseph Cangelosi

Victor Joseph Cangelosi went to be with the Lord on October 19, 2023. Victor was born in San Antonio on March 10, 1964 to Anthony and Anthonette Cangelosi and lovingly welcomed by his 2 sisters and 3 brothers.

Victor was known for his love of music and puzzles. Growing up, he would sit at his desk listening and singing to country music, especially George Strait, and solving one of his numerous puzzles. He also loved to shoot hoops and could outshoot many. He was a Boy Scout and loved the activities his troop did. Victor was an altar server for Father Joe at Cordi-Marian whenever we attended Mass there. He loved school and his teachers and graduated from New Braunfels ISD schools. Victor, Mom and their traveling River Gardens Family took many a road trip experiencing many fun excursions and lots of eating and laughter.

Victor loved to eat and had two favorite foods, Mexican food and Seafood. His favorite was the classic enchilada, taco, rice and beans with a side of guacamole and chips and don’t forget the salsa! He was a big fan of fried shrimp at PoPo’s in Welfare Texas. And don’t forget the Big Red!

Victor loved traveling with his family. Bahamas, Disney World, Colorado, New York City and Horseshoe Bay. He also enjoyed visiting family in Bryan and Houston. His favorite was to go fishing in Rockport and riding on the boat. He was a great fisherman and waited patiently for the fish to bite.

Victor loved spending time with his family. He loved going to the movies, bowling, riding on the golf cart at Oak Hills, getting a neck massage, shopping or just taking a car ride. His birthdays were very special with all the family and close friends celebrating with dinner, cake, ice cream and lots of presents.

Victor loved his friends and the staff at River Gardens. He was a member of the Clown Club, participated in the Special Olympics in running and bowling and loved the many dances where he showed off his dancing moves!

Victor loved the new friends he made and the wonderful staff at Kirkwood Manor. He loved therapy and activity time. Bingo was his favorite activity and was so excited when he won! He loved when music was playing and he would sing and dance especially to the Macarena! He loved sitting at the front desk working puzzles or just hanging out. He especially loved Church on Sunday and Communion on Tuesday.Victor will leave a great void in our lives. He has been an amazing gift to our family and a blessing to all who knew him. He was caring and loving, friendly to all and everyone who met him loved him.
