Born on February 28, 1944, in Edcouch, Texas, Raul was the son of Alfredo Reyes and Lucia Hinojosa. He spent his life in the Rio Grande Valley, where he built his life, raised his family, and formed lasting connections with those around him. A lifelong Valley resident, Raul eventually made his home in Weslaco, Texas, where he lived until his passing.
Raul was a father, grandfather, husband, brother, and an important part of a large family. His life was intertwined with generations of family members whose lives were shaped by the memories and experiences they shared with him.
He is survived by his loving spouse, Natividad Carrillo, and his children: Paul Reyes, Saul Reyes (Mike Argy), Sylvia Torres, Patrick Reyes (Isidro Quintero), and Matthew Reyes.
He is also survived by his seven grandchildren: Marcella, Martin, Tony, Mea, Jacob, Matthew Myles, and Destiny, who carry forward his family legacy.
Raul is also survived by his siblings: Dahlia and Ruben Peralez, Estella Pico, Abelina Molina, and Fito Reyes.
He was preceded in death by his children, Irma Reyes, Nelda Carbajal, and Raul Reyes Jr., as well as his brother, Pablo Reyes and sisters Ofelia Rodriguez and Delma Perez.
After retiring, Raul enjoyed the opportunity to spend his later years reflecting on a lifetime of experiences and the family connections that remained an important part of his life.
Though his passing leaves an absence that will be deeply felt, his memory will live on through his children, grandchildren, extended family, and all those who had the opportunity to know him.
He will be remembered, missed, and forever loved.
A Memorial Service will be held at Funeraria del Angel Highland, 6705 FM 88, Weslaco, TX 78599, on November 17, 2026, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
