Felix Hinojosa

A tribute to our hero, Felix Hinojosa was born to Maria and Jose Hinojosa, in Edinburg, Texas, Dec. 18, 1939. He was always ambitious, hardworking, and dedicated to family and friends. His best years were those of building and planning with his six children. He and Modesta, his wife of 60 years, were always forward looking and were always encouraging for their children, grandchildren, and other relatives. Felix had a great relationship with his brothers and sister and kept in contact with them. One of his regrets was that he was not able to go back to the Edinburg Texas area in recent years. Our father, grandfather, and hero set a great example of how to be dedicated to others rather than one’s own interest, for Felix was always willing to help a neighbor any way possible. We are indebted to Felix Hinojosa, and the love of his life, Modesta for turning our lives into one beautiful family. Felix loved to take his family out on trips in nature whether in a lonely back road, open fields, the mountains, or to visit relatives or friends. He loved country music with a little bit of Tex-Mex flavor. He worked hard in construction and as an architect draftsman with great pride in all he did and thought his children the same work ethic.

Felix was preceded in death by his parents, son Raul Hinojosa, granddaughter, Cecilia Sandra Hinojosa, grandson Raul Hinojosa Jr., sister, Maria Garcia from Texas, brother Jose Jr. Hinojosa from Texas. He is survived by his wife Modesta Martinez Hinojosa, his children Isabel Hinojosa, Ricardo Hinojosa, Rene Hinojosa, Ruben Hinojosa, and Irma Hinojosa Medina, brothers Jesus and Arthuro Hinojosa, daughter in laws Rosemary Soto Hinojosa, Patricia Flores Hinojosa, and Isenia Gonzalez Hinojosa, son in law Jose Medina, 10 grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many friends.

We love and will sorely miss you dad, you "fought the fine fight." (2 Timothy 4:7) You loved and had faith in Jehovah God and knew through Jesus Christ that all of God's promises are "true and faithful." (Rev. 21: 3-5). Until we see you “in paradise,” it is time to rest our beautiful father. (Luke 23:43)
