Ulysses Granados

Ulysses Granados of Houston, Texas, passed away on Friday, December 12, 2025, at the age of 59. He was born in Houston, Texas, where he grew up with his parents, Juan V and Guadalupe M Granados and his brothers and sisters.

Ulysses was always special, even as a child, Ulysses even had a day named for him by the Mayor of Houston, it was known as Ulysses Granados Day in Houston, Texas.

Ulysses worked as a laborer, he loved learning new things, and once he mastered them, he was eager to learn a new trade and use that knowledge to help all of his family and friends. He even built floats for the City of Houston!

Ulysses is preceded in death by his parents, Juan V and Guadalupe M Granados, as well as brother, Jimmy Granados

He was joined on the journey to heaven, three days after his passing, by his brother, Xavier.

Ulysses is survived by his siblings, George, Dolores, Mary, Lupe, Victor, Eloy, Carmen, Janie, Johnny and Annette, along with many nieces and nephews, brothers in law and sisters in law.

On any given day, you could find Ulysses wearing a looney toon t-shirt or something similar, some converse chucks, a cap worn sideways, silver jewelry and his Swisha jacket!

Ulysses loved barbecuing, buying things at the dollar store, going to the flea market and good will store. He loved barbecuing, building things, painting and drawing, watching old classics on tv, including horror movies, slapstick comedies, and even classic cartoons, he also loved working in his garden. He had the most awesome green thumb, everything grew! He loved visiting family members, whether near or far, and didn’t miss a daily call to check on all. He loved going out to eat, whether at a food truck, hamburger shack or Mexican restaurant. He loved eating ice, drinking cherry kool aid and eating chopped beef BBQ sandwiches, fried chicken, boudin, and caldo to name a few. He loved his sweets! Cookies and Pan Dulce! Not to mention his chocolate and other candy, as well as chamoy pickles.

He was loved by all and had the biggest heart ever! Always wanting to give, give, give. Whether it was a drawing or painting, or something he bought for a dollar, it was just always something from his heart, because when he saw it, he bought it just for you, not for anyone else. That made those gifts so much more special.

He could light up your life with a simple text saying, “I love you” along with a picture of beautiful roses in his garden.

We love you, Ulysses.
