Julio Sifuentes Moreno

He was born in Lockhart, Texas, from humble beginnings picking cotton as a young boy, he learned the values of hard work, faith, and caring for family—principles that shaped his entire life. He retired from Randalls with 30 plus years of Meat Market Management.

A gifted athlete, Julio excelled in football, baseball, and track. His talents extended beyond sports—he taught himself to play multiple instruments and recorded music with his band, Julio Moreno and the Centennials.

Determined to give his family more than he had growing up, he created a life full of adventure. From cross country road trips in a travel trailer to jet setting around the world as an empty nester. Julio embraced every opportunity to explore God’s creation.

He devoted countless hours of service to St. Catherine of Siena community in many charitable ways through the Knights of Columbus as a Fourth Degree, Mission to Mexico, St. Vincent de Paul, ACTS, That Man is You, Holy Sepulcher and Amigos Club.

Julio is survived by his beloved wife, Mary of 66 years.
