With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Adan Longoria Pantoja, a beloved son, brother, uncle, and cherished family member and friend. Adan passed away on July 4,  2026, in Corpus Christi, Texas, at the age of 49. Born on May 25, 1977, in Corpus Christi, he spent his life surrounded by the love of family and friends in the community he called home.

Adan will be remembered for his kind heart and selfless spirit. Thoughtful and caring in all that he did, he had an extraordinary gift for making those around him feel loved and supported. He was a source of strength and guidance to his sister, offering unwavering support as a big brother. One of the greatest joys of his life was being an uncle to his two nephews - Aiden & Dylan Pena; their bond brought him immense happiness and pride.

Adan found joy in life's simple pleasures. He loved fishing and kayaking, often finding peace on the water. A devoted fan of football games, he enjoyed cheering on his favorite teams with enthusiasm. Above all else, Adan treasured spending time with his family. His memory will forever remind us to always put family first—a value he lived by every day.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Gloria Pantoja; his aunts, Praje Gutierrez and Benita Hull; and his uncle, Juan Ochoa.

Adan is survived by his father; his sister; his aunts; cousins; nephews; and brother-in-law. His absence leaves an irreplaceable void in their lives.

Adan's laughter was infectious, and he had a remarkable ability to bring joy to any room he entered. Though his time with us was far too short, the kindness, love, and laughter he shared will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

May Adan's memory bring comfort to all who mourn him and inspire us to carry forward the love and light he so generously gave during his lifetime.

A Memorial Service will be held on July 16, 2026, from 04:00 PM at Guardian Funeral Home with a Service to Celebrate Adan's life to begin at 6:00 p.m.
