His journey on this earth was one marked by love, compassion, and service to others. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him.
He graduated from medical school in 1975 and after coming to the US in 1980s he did his Pediatric Residency and Allergy Immunology Fellowship. He was a board certified Pediatric Allergist that dedicated his career to the Victoria Community.
It was in Victoria, Texas, that he truly found his calling. Recognizing the potential of a small humble church, he transformed it into a thriving practice. Partnering with his colleague, he expanded his reach by establishing satellite clinics in Beeville, Rockport, Wiemer, and El Campo. For over 40 years, he served as the sole pediatric allergist for many children touching countless lives with his unmatched compassion and relentless dedication. A devoted soul, he lived a life rooted in kindness and service to others.
