Isidro T. Palacios Jr.

December 5, 1963 - October 6, 2020

Mr. Isidro T. Palacios Jr., age 56, passed away on October 6, 2020. You can describe Isidro as a loving, hard-working, dependable, patriarch, and family-oriented person with such a huge heart. Since we have come to know him, he was the best husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend. You could always count on him for anything whether it be needing money, helping you move out of your living space, a helping hand on a task or simply to have his loving company, he was there. He was always the Sun in our Solar System. All holidays were celebrated at his home or around him. He always put family first. Isidro loved to work. He always found joy in building projects, gardening, and improving his home and spending the most time with his family. He was a provider for his family and always did whatever he could to make it easier on them and his closest loved ones, in case a day such as this would come. He owned a 2002 Blue Ford F-150 which he purchased brand new and loved it until this day. He always said "if you take good care of it, it will take good care of you." That is exactly what he did with his family. He took care of his family.

Isidro was born in Laredo, Texas to Isidro T. Palacios Sr. and Maria Luisa Palacios. Isidro married Graciela D. Palacios of Laredo, Texas on September 10, 1982 in San Luis Rey Catholic Church. Together they raised a loving and caring family with good morals and values, whose life will always be remembered and forever cherished.
