Reynaldo Acevedo (Rey), age 62 of Austin Texas, was called home by the Lord on Sunday, October 10, 2021. Rey had recently retired from LaQuintal/Wyndham Hotel where he was the Maintenance Supervisor for 13 years and was looking forward to his retirement. He was born in Elsa, Texas and moved to Austin in 1996. He attended San Jose Catholic Church in Austin. Rey was such a happy, go lucky man and was very kind to everyone who knew him. No one was more jovial than he. He had the funniest personality and all of us got to laugh along with him. Rey’s hobbies included fishing, construction work and riding his Harley motorcycle. He was at his best riding his Harley. He always made it a point to spend a weekend riding his Harley out on country roads.
Rey was a wonderful father, grandfather, brother, uncle and great grandfather. He loved his children immensely and his grandchildren brought him so much joy. He loved his six sisters and his younger brother. He had a name for each of his sisters including his nieces and would address them accordingly.
Rey is preceded in death by his parents, Eulalia and Juan Antonio Acevedo and his baby sister, Melba Acevedo. He is survived by his children, Brandy Acevedo from Edinburg, Texas and Ray Anthony (Iliana) from Austin, Texas along with his grandchildren, Brianna Rae, Jaden and Chole Gutierrez and Amari Acevedo. Great grandson Ashton Reed. He is also survived by his sisters Leticia Valdez (Rudy) from Buda, Texas; Mireya Velasquez (Jesse) and Maria Elena Velez (Juan Antonio) from Defiance Ohio; Ruth Covarrubias (Ramiro) from Kissimmee, Florida; Jose Luis Acevedo (Maria) from Gaylord, Minnesota; Palmira Garcia from Tulsa, Oklahoma and Michelle Castellanos (Elias) from Castlerock, Colorado. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Rey’s sudden departure has left a void in every single one of us. We loved him and will do so forever…our Cowboy Rides Away.
Viewing will be on Saturday, October 23, 2021 at Weed Corley Fish Funeral Home, 2620 S. Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78704; (512) 442-1446.
