Pedro was born on Nov. 18, 1929, in Lagos de Moreno, in Jalisco, Mexico.
Pedro was married to the love of his life, Cirila Perez, for 63 blissful years. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
Together they built quite the family of five children, Maria, Hector, Alfredo, Arturo and Ruben, who then gave them 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Pedro's passion was gardening. He could always be found in his yard tending to his plants, lawn, and flowers, or cooking up some delicious barbecue.
He was the backbone of his family. A man of few, yet clever words and a smile could always be found on his face. He often would pick up his grandchildren from school and enjoyed doing so.
In his younger years he was an active member of the Lions Club; Hispanic Chapter.
Pedro will forever be in our hearts and always be remembered.
