Victor Javier Morales

Victor Javier Morales was born October 23, 1950, in Weslaco, TX, to Victor and Celia Morales. He died August 23, 2013, in Houston, TX. As a young adult, Victor proudly served in the U.S. Army. He attended the University of Texas-Pan Am, before meeting his beautiful wife. Victor worked many years in the auto industry and later, as a loan officer. He was a good speaker, great salesperson, and had an unforgettable personality.

Victor always had a passion for martial arts. After many years of practicing Tea-Kwon-Do, Kuk Sool Won, Jukendo, Wing Chun, and Kajukembo, Victor was awarded with a black belt in Kajubembo, by Sigung, Burt Vickers, in July 2013.Right up there with his love of martial arts, was his love for football. Soon after he found out Houston, TX would have their own football team, he began following their draft and quickly became a huge supporter. Last year, he predicted the Houston Texans would go to the play-offs and was betting this would be their year for the Superbowl. On his spare time he would watch some “good ol’ fashion” western movies. If football wasn’t on, you could assume he was watching John Wayne.He will be lovingly remembered as a loving husband, father, grandpa, brother and friend.
