Mercedes, Texas- It is with deep sorrow and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jose Rene Carreon on August 4, 2026. Jose Rene was born in Weslaco, Texas to Camilo and Hermina Carreon on March 23, 1975.
Jose Rene was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and beloved friend. His presence brought warmth, love and laughter for all who knew him.

He experienced one of life’s greatest blessings- becoming a grandfather- a role he embraced with immense pride, love and happiness. He enjoyed the simple things in life. He loved to have family cookouts, invite family over for a meal, have a good time and laugh at jokes they all told.
