I will never forget the time that my grandpa ate a jalapeño from my cousins plate and everyone on the table just started laughing so hard. He continued to chew and chuckle acting like nothing happened. His smile always made me feel so warm inside knowing that he was happy. My grandpa papol was so strong and caring. He was humorous and knew how to instantly brighten the mood. I will miss him and love him forever, and I can’t wait to be able to see his smile again someday.

I remember being invited to one of Miguel’s birthday parties in Mexico.  When I arrived to greet him, he had a great smile on his face. He soon then introduced me to the rest of the Tovar clan. Everyone was so nice and hospitable, especially Miguel. He never stopped asking, that if I needed anything to just ask. He always made you feel special, in his own little way. Later that night, he sang with all of the mariachi that were hired.  He had an amazing voice and awesome talent.  My father heard his voice once and would say “your father in law sounds great, one of the best that I’ve ever heard”.   Miguel was a great family man, and I loved that. Family would always gather at his house for any occasion. Miguel was always there to make you feel at home and offer you anything.  I am very proud that he is my father in law. I have always cared, respected and loved him. May we all meet again someday Miguel.  

I was my fathers youngest child. I cant even describe or even express how much he impacted my life. He taught me love, compassion, music, humility, passion, and what to look for in a man. Because of my father i gained strength, wisdom, and great life skills. I was a happy child. I was his baby. He was a man that could light up a whole room. He wasnt just a ray of light...he was a breath of fresh air. He was a person you could rely on and trust to be there for you always. He always lend a helping hand. He never ever let anyone down. We knew that we could count on him.  If ever i was sick, sad, or lonely my father was there to pick up the pieces of my broken heart ... to hold my hand...to make sure i was ok. Rest in peace Daddy. I will always honor and respect your memories.  

My father  exemplified  humility, friendliness,  and genuineness.   As a young girl, my memories of him include his closeness to all his siblings, his singing at parties with the mariachi, his hard work hours to support his large family, his jokes,  his love for spicy salsa, and his endless amount of friends and conversations  in every corner of everywhere we went.  People simply loved him.  He didn’t expect anything from anyone and supported anyone’s dreams.  His advise to me was to be kind and to be giving regardless of the circumstances: good or bad.  I will forever remember him and his beautiful nature.  I know he rests in peace and know the merciful God accepts him in his Kingdom with my loving mom, Martha.  Love you forever papi and I know you stayed strong for us.  Te recordare siempre  y yo se “portate bien Malena”.  

Since I had first met, and gotten to know Mr. Tovar, his respectful character and  influence on me and my boys was nothing short of an honor. Mr. Tovar, even upon our first introduction, was always kind to me. That is what I will always cherish and remember, His kindness and genuine sincerity to me and my family. Sitting with him as he listened to his favorite music, as we watched and remarked on his grandsons run circles around us was always a pleasure. I only wish I could have had the opportunity of getting to know him sooner. We love, and will always keep you with us Mr. Tovar. Thank you for being a part of our lives.

Hace más de 17 años yo tuve la fortuna de conocer al gran señor Miguel Tovar por su linda hija Sandra. En el momento que platique con el, me hizo sentir cómo parte de la familia. Siempre observé que a todos ayudaba y sí nomás fuera un consejo, era lo suficiente. En un momento cuando yo estaba en una etapa de me vida con unos sufrimientos qué no podía superar, yo tuve la suerte de recibir un consejo de un padre, porqué un año antes yo ya había perdido mi padre. El gran señor Tovar estaba ahí cuando lo necesitabas. Sandra me dijo ayer qué recuerda cuando su gran papa le decía qué le llamara a sus hermanos y hermanas porque quería que todos se reunirán para ser una carnita en su casa. Y si recuerdo estar en varias de esas reuniones y era asombroso ver la felicidad de una gran familia. Les quiero decir qué en el tiempo que yo conocí al gran señor Miguel Tovar, siempre fue una persona sin rencores, humilde, y muy cariñoso con todos. 
Dios los bendiga.
