Sergio Victor Fincias

Born on February 14, 1962, in Dallas and raised in San Antonio, Victor always considered San Antonio home. He built his career in sales, where his natural warmth, persistence, and ability to connect with just about anyone became something of a trademark. Those who knew him well often joked that Victor could sell ice to an Eskimo.

But what people will remember most about Victor was not what he did for a living. It was who he was.

Victor was, put simply, one of the kindest people you could hope to know. He never met a stranger and was always excited to hear their stories. He was lighthearted, with a wonderful sense of humor and an infectious laugh that made you smile. His spirit was full of light, laughter, and love, and he gave it freely.

He had an uncommon ability to see the best in people, even when they may not see it yet themselves. He understood that no one was perfect and believed people deserved compassion, grace, dignity, and respect. No matter what was going on in his life, he looked out for others, especially those who did not always have a voice, and he always did his best to stand up for what was right.

As a father, Victor was devoted and selfless. He sacrificed without hesitation to give his son every opportunity he could, always wanting him to have a better chance, a better future, and the freedom to build a life of his own. The lessons Victor passed down were not simply things he said, but values he lived: kindness, generosity, loyalty, and perseverance.

He often reminisced about his years on the road selling tools, a chapter of his life that brought him countless stories and friendships. In later years, he continued doing what came naturally to him, building relationships with the same kind of hardworking business owners through his work in promotional products. Along the way, he loved visiting local restaurants and collecting small keepsakes and knickknacks from the places he traveled, each one carrying a story with it.

Beyond family and work, Victor had three other passions: his Catholic faith, the Dallas Cowboys, and the San Antonio Spurs. He was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, where he spent many years serving and volunteering.

Victor’s life was marked by extraordinary resilience. He survived neuroblastoma as a baby, later overcame lung cancer, and most recently fought and defeated pancreatic cancer. He fought hard for more time, and the time he gave his family will always be cherished for what it truly was, one more act of love.

Victor is survived by his son, Stefan; his mother, Iris Barrera Low; his brother, Louis Fincias; his sister, Elizabeth Fincias Low-Gordy; Damen, Sierra, and Lauren, his nephew and nieces; and many extended family members and friends whose lives were made better by knowing him.

His family will remember him not only for the battles he fought, but for the person he remained through all of them: kind, generous, and hopeful.

That kindness and compassion are his legacy. It lives on in the people he loved, in the lives he made better, and in the values he passed on to his son.
