Es con profunda tristeza y amor que anunciamos el apacible fallecimiento de Alfonso A. Lima, quien se fue al cielo el viernes, 29 de mayo de 2026, a la edad de 83 años, rodeado del amor y hermosas oraciones de su familia.

Nació el 17 de febrero de 1943 en Panotla, Tlaxcala, México, Sus enseñanzas de joven en México formaron su ética de gran nobleza y dedicación al trabajo. En 1971 Alfonso se mudo a los Estados Unidos para establecerse y vivió gran parte de su vida en Houston, Texas. Fue un hombre fuerte en todo sentido de la palabra. Se dedicó a mantener a su familia y darles la vida que sentía que merecían.Trabajo con diligencia y se retiró de Mrs. Baird 's Bakery después de 28 años. Aun después de su retiro, Alfonso siguió trabajando porque le gustaba mantenerse ocupado.

Alfonso fue un hombre fuerte en su fe. Le encantaba asistir a su iglesia todos los domingos a lado de su esposa y tranquilamente pasar el tiempo leyendo su biblia en el patio de su casa. Se llevaba bien con todos y en todo lugar y se prestaba a ayudar sin esperar nada a cambio. Pacientemente les inculcó y fue un ejemplo a sus hijos y nietos de cómo llevar el respeto mutuo y buenos modales.

Cualquiera que conociera a Alfonso sabía que era el padre, esposo y abuelo más alegre que le encantaba animar a todos los que le rodeaban. Le encantaba platicar con su esposa, hijos, nietos, hermanos y toda la familia. A lo largo de su vida se destacó por la manera de llevar cada día con fe, positividad y su linda sonrisa de oreja a oreja. Aparte de leer la biblia, disfrutaba leer sobre la historia cultural de todo el mundo. Sus diversos intereses también se reflejaban en la música que escuchaba - Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Los Beatles, Mariachis, Rock & Roll, Banda, Sinfonía, Música clásica por nombrar algunas. Y si se presentara una oportunidad de cantar…¡como todos los saben…la aprovechaba!

Sus dichos favoritos nunca faltaban para alegrar cualquier momento…”Aun Ay Mas”...”Happy Day Every Day” (Feliz Dia, Todos los Dias)...”Don’t Worry About It” (No Te Preocupes Por Eso).

Le sobreviven con amor su esposa de 51 años, Adelita Lima; sus hijos, Sergio Alberto Zavala, Monica Lima (Marlon) Sanchez y Alfonso Lima III; sus nietos Mireya, Eugenio, Jocelyn y Diego; y sus hermanas Briseida y Elsa.

Le precedieron en la muerte su padre Alfonso Lima Jimenez; su madre Adelia Atonal Carro; y sus hermanos, Aaron, Hector, Gilberto, Marcos y Graciela.

La familia agradece profundamente las muestras de cariño y apoyo en este momento tan difícil.

It is with deep sadness and love that we announce the peaceful passing of Alfonso A. Lima, who went to his heavenly home on Friday, May 29, 2026, at the age of 83, surrounded by the love and beautiful prayers of his family.

He was born on February 17, 1943, in Panotla, Tlaxcala, Mexico. His upbringing in Mexico during his youth shaped his character, instilling in him a profound sense of nobility and dedication to work. In 1971, Alfonso moved to the United States to build a life for himself, and he spent the greater part of his life living in Houston, Texas. He was a strong man in every sense of the word. He dedicated himself to providing for his family and giving them the life he felt they deserved. He worked diligently and retired from Mrs. Baird's Bakery after 28 years of service. Even after his retirement, Alfonso continued to work because he enjoyed staying active and keeping busy.

Alfonso was a man of strong faith. He loved attending church every Sunday alongside his wife and quietly spending time reading his Bible in his backyard. He got along well with everyone, wherever he went, and was always ready to lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return. With patience and grace, he instilled in his children and grandchildren—and served as a living example to them—the importance of mutual respect and good manners.

Anyone who knew Alfonso knew him as the most joyful father, husband, and grandfather—someone who loved to uplift and encourage everyone around him. He delighted in conversing with his wife, children, grandchildren, siblings, and his entire extended family. Throughout his life, he distinguished himself by the way he approached each day: with faith, positivity, and a beautiful, beaming smile that stretched from ear to ear. Aside from reading the Bible, he enjoyed reading about cultural history from all corners of the globe. His diverse interests were also reflected in the music he listened to—José Alfredo Jiménez, The Beatles, Mariachi, Rock & Roll, Banda, Symphonic music, and Classical music, to name just a few. And if an opportunity to sing arose—as everyone knows—he seized it!

His favorite sayings were never missing to brighten any moment: “Aún Hay Más”... “Happy Day Every Day”... “Don’t Worry About It.”

He is lovingly survived by his wife of 51 years, Adelita Lima; his children, Sergio Alberto Zavala, Monica Lima (Marlon) Sanchez, and Alfonso Lima III; his grandchildren, Mireya, Eugenio, Jocelyn, and Diego; and his sisters, Briseida and Elsa.

He was preceded in death by his father, Alfonso Lima Jimenez; his mother, Adelia Atonal Carro; and his siblings, Aaron, Hector, Gilberto, Marcos, and Graciela.

The family deeply appreciates the expressions of love and support during this very difficult time.
