It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Raul R. Marez, who entered eternal rest on September 23, 2025, at the age of 90 in Hutto, Texas.
Born on September 11, 1935, Raul lived a life of devotion—to his family, his country, and his passions. He dedicated his life to his beloved wife, Gloria, and their children, Valerie, Cindy, Joey, and Rodney. Raul proudly served in the United States Air Force and pursued his love of fast-pitch softball, where his remarkable talent earned him induction into the Pan American Softball Hall of Fame.
Raul will be remembered for his loyalty, sense of humor, and strength of character, qualities that touched all who knew him.
Above all, his greatest joy was found in the love he shared with his wife, 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren.
He is survived by his loving wife, Gloria; his children, Valerie, Joey, and Rodney; his sister, Elena Juarez; and his extended family.
