Francisco Aguirre Sr.

WESLACO - Francisco Rivera Aguirre; the greatest father, the most loving caring husband, the best grandfather and the greatest brother ever. WHO loved his children endlessly. WHO loved and gave all of himself everyday of his life to his wife. WHO let his grandchildren make what he called "a beautiful mess" and wouldn't ever make them clean it up. He was fun, grateful and always loving to all his grand babies. WHO loved all his beautiful sisters and handsome brother and would travel far in their direction to say hi and grab a bite. He was loved so much by all his wonderful ten sisters and one brother not to mention all his wonderful relatives and friends. WHO loved basketball and football. Spurs and Cowboys of course! WHO loved to take his family for some water and sun at the beach and yes fishing was a must. WHO was Always and I mean Always ready for family gatherings. WHO brought life to everyone he talked to or met. WHO brought jokes and smiles to all who knew him. WHO traveled far and across this good old US of A. WHO took his family on road trips for fun and made the most of every landmark there was to read or learn from. WHO I watched back-up that 18-wheeler in reverse in the tightest places. My response was always baby you make it look so easy! His reply was that's why you love me. She thinks my tractor's sexy! He'd start to sing. We'd be filled with laughter, it never got old! WHO could talk and make sense after a lengthy lecture, be so intuitive and philosophical he's have you at the end of your seat cause his response to question you asked was at the end of the conversation! Never straight to the point. Those who know him know exactly what I am talking about. WHO's character and self was filled with love, laughter, hope and God. WHO to the very end said don't pray for healing so I can go do things out there, I pray to the Lord Jesus Christ that his will be done. I am at peace with the Lord and raised his hands to the Lord in praise and said that is what I pray for...for his will be done. Healing comes in different forms he said. Rather the Lord heals me here on earth or the Lord comes for me, either way, I will be healed. The Lord came on Monday morning at 1:43 am as we prayed, declared, wept and held his hand. My sweetheart closed his eyes so peacefully on earth and opened them with our Lord and all his divine glory. Frank is preceded in death by his parents, Martin Aguirre and Isabel Rivera.
