Rene built a long and loyal career at Warren CAT in Midland, Texas, where he worked for over 18 years. His commitment and reliability earned him the respect of colleagues and the trust of those he served. He took great pride in his work and was known for his steadfast presence and strong work ethic.
Beyond his professional life, Rene was deeply devoted to his faith. As an active member of St. Ann's Church in Midland, he played a role in expanding access to worship by helping bring Spanish-language mass services to the parish. His involvement in church ministries reflected his desire to serve others and strengthen his community through faith.
Rene also found joy in fast cars, sports and was an enthusiastic supporter of Aggie football and the Dallas Cowboys. Whether watching games with loved ones or cheering from afar, he embraced the camaraderie and excitement that came with being a fan.
