Sotero was a well known local business owner in the Freeport, TX.
Sotero was a devoted Husband, Father, Grandpa, Brother and Friend. He loved family time. Spending time with his wife, kids and grandchildren was what he lived for. His favorite hobby you could say was running around town and picking up his grand children’s favorite foods don’t matter how many stops he would have to make just to make sure they all ate what they wanted that day. That would always put the biggest smile on his face. Holiday and Birthdays were his favorite times of the year because that meant family gatherings, Music, Food and a night ending in Karaoke. He enjoyed taking trips to Mexico and visit the places he used to run around as a child. He loved telling his kids about his adventures as a kid and as a teen riding around in his favorite horse thru the "sierra" and all the risky things he would do.
