Amadeo G. Perez

Amadeo G. Perez, born on January 18, 1949, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on February 5, 2025, at Kindred Hospital in San Antonio, TX., leaving behind a legacy of love and dedication. Amadeo's life was marked by his unwavering commitment to family, integrity, and service.

He dedicated 31 years of his professional life as an Electronic Technician at the Corpus Christi Army Depot, where his expertise and work ethic were highly regarded. His commitment extended beyond his career; Amadeo proudly served in the United States Army National Guard, embodying the values of duty and honor.

A man of few words, Amadeo was known for his honesty and the warmth of his big heart. His family cherished the moments spent together, particularly during his cooking of breakfast on the weekends, a time that brought them together around the dining table. Amadeo found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was savoring his morning coffee while watching birds or ensuring his bird feeders were always full.

As an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, Amadeo looked forward to watching football on weekends, celebrating victories and sharing the excitement of the game with loved ones. He also enjoyed the thrill of gambling trips to the casino and had a passion for working on electronics, often immersing himself in projects that showcased his skills.

Amadeo was immensely proud of his children and took great joy in the accomplishments of his grandchildren, who were his pride and joy. His family remembers him not just as a father and grandfather but as a constant supporter who encouraged them in every endeavor.

In the tapestry of life, Amadeo G. Perez will be remembered not only for his steadfast commitment to family and country but also for the genuine spirit with which he approached each day. His legacy is one of love, fidelity, and joy, woven into the hearts of those fortunate to have known him.
