Lino De La Peña, age 86, of Brownsville, Texas passed away on Thursday, July 21, 2022. Lino was born December 1, 1935. Though born in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Lino De La Peña was a true son to Brownsville, TX. He spent most of his life here and found his life’s calling as a husband, father, and independent business owner.

Years after her passing, he met his second wife Rosa De La Peña Campillo who shared 47 years of marriage with and together they grew their family with three more children.
