Alberto Acosta Barrera

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Alberto Acosta Barrera on Monday, June 3, 2024. As Alberto has gone to be with our Lord Jesus Christ, he was surrounded by his family during his final moments at the age of 92.

Alberto was born in Pecos, Texas on January 5, 1932 to the late Francisco Barrera and Petronela Acosta. Although he never got to go to school, he developed a good work ethic at a young age. He worked as a crew foreman for ATCO services for over 35 years. He and Roperta married in 1958. He was a big family man who spent time and put in an effort to his wife, kids, grandkids, and great-grandchildren, whether it was by cooking, teaching, or playing. Albert also enjoyed being outside whether it was cruising in one of his trucks, gardening, working in the yard, or even just sitting outside with the family. There is no denying that he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son and friend.

Alberto is survived by his wife Roperta N Barrera of Odessa,Texas; daughter Yolanda Hinojos and husband Ernesto, of Odessa, Texas; Sons: Ishmael, “Magoo” Barrera, Alfonso Barrera and wife Olga of Odessa,Texas. 16 grandchildren: Amy, Crystal Barrera, Jaime Hinojos, Adam Barrera, Alex Barrera, Anthony Barrera, Ashley Hinojos, Candace Barrera, Amanda Barrera, April Barrera, Tiffany Barrera, Chavo Barrera, Kianna Bernal, Dominic Barrera, Takayren Barrera, Noel, Hinojos. 28 great -grand kids, and a Grand-dog Peanut.

Alberto is preceded in death by his parents, siblings, and 3 sons: Rudy, Alberto Jr., and Freddy.
