Emiliano Ponce went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ on April 23rd, 2025. Born on August 8th, 1954, in Mexico, Emiliano was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who cherished his family above all else. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Manuela Flores-Ponce, his daughter Natalie (Francis) Lara, and his son Andres Fernandez, all residing in Corpus Christi, Texas. Emiliano was also a proud grandfather to ten grandchildren: Gavin and Logan Grande, Marielena, Andres Jr, and Addison Fernandez, Jadalyn Nelson, Juliette Rodriguez, Lyla Rocha, and Charlotte and John Paul Jr Jaramillo.

Emiliano had a passion for working on vehicles and building new things, and he had a special love for his animals and cars. Known for his sweet tooth, he enjoyed pan de dulce and sodas. Emiliano's love and dedication to his family will be dearly missed every day, and he will never be forgotten. We all love you, Padi. ❤️
