Trinidad known to everyone as either Tio Chivo or Chivo was an amazing son, brother, father, grandfather, uncle and friend to many who were fortunate enough to cross paths either personally or professionally. He worked several different fields of works but became a very successful businessman in the DFW Metroplex and owned TL & Sons concrete and asphalt company. His passions in life were his family first and foremost, travelling, shopping and the casinos. Coming from a religious background, Trinidad made sure to raise his kids in the church and would encourage them to both attend church regularly and also to involve their families and teach them the right way. Anytime donations or assistance was needed from the church, Trinidad was always the first person to step up and take care of whatever was needed. For all the good deeds Trinidad did in his life, he’s being rewarded by rejoicing with his family in heaven yet keeping a watchful eye over his entire family. Trinidad will be terribly missed here on earth but the memories and imprints he’s left on so many lives during his journey solidify his legacy as a truly amazing man of GOD. We love you always and miss you dearly but realize and believe we’ll see each other again…
