He grew up in beautiful Hondo, Texas working construction and field work alongside his brothers, he has always been a hard worker and started work at a very young age, we enjoyed many stories of his work adventures with his brothers.

He loved dancing and music, some of his favorites were Ramona Ayala, Antonio Aguilar, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Pedro Infante and of course Johnny Cash.  He loved his classic cars, he took great care of the cars he had, always keeping the white walls white.

He said he attended Cotton Field Elementary where he learned his times tables.

He had the biggest sense of humor always telling jokes making everyone laugh. He always had funny stories to go with any conversation. A quick joke or funny remark to soothe over some tough love.

Undaunted by any task he would boldly charge until the job was done. He could be stubborn at times but never mean. When caring for one of his family or friends his sound advice, kind spirit and uplifting smile would get anyone back on their feet and ready to face the world.

Victor loved his family unconditionally and helped anyone out that needed him. He made friends easily with everyone he met. He was the rock of his family.

He was the father figure for three of his granddaughters Mallory, Andrea, and Kayla. They will be forever grateful for him. They love him with all their hearts, he taught them to be strong, independent and to know their worth. He unconditionally helped them get through every situation that came up and always let them know he had their backs.
