Frank M Morales

Frank (Pancho) Morales, passed away peacefully with his brother Joe & sister Frances by his side on January 4,2026 at the age of 56, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, music, and deep love for his family.

A lifelong provider and dedicated worker, Frank spent many years as a foreman with Southwest Concrete and Paving where he took great pride in his work and often spoke proudly of the roads, he and his crew paved projects that will continue to serve the community for generations to come.  Outside of work, Pancho was rarely still. He was known for always having a project underway, whether it was improving his yard, building something in the garage, or painting & crafting away. He found joy in working with his hands and took satisfaction in seeing a job done right.  Music was a great passion of his life. He shared his love for music through his time on his hometown radio station, La Sabrosa, where he connected with listeners and celebrated the music he loved. He was also known among family and friends for singing with enthusiasm, especially when performing the classic song “La Murcura,” which always brought smiles and laughter to those around him.  On weekends, he enjoyed fishing and spending time at the lake or river and blasting his tejano music full blast at family gatherings—simple moments that brought him peace and happiness.  Above all else, he was a devoted family man. He had a way of making you feel Important & cared for. A true legend & our hero. His children and grandchildren were the center of his world and the pride of his heart. He spoke of them often and loved sharing their accomplishments with anyone who would listen. His love for his family was evident in everything he did.

He is survived by his children, Antoinette Madrid (Gary Romero), Amber Vigil (AJ Vigil), Eric Perez (Alexis Gomez), Frank Morales (Angelica Ramos); his grandchildren, Aniyah, Anahi, Elias (Eli), Sal, Ayden, Ronnie Rey, Baby J, Lillyanna, Zeke, Zack, Zaydin, Zander, Hezekiah, Nehemiah, Keziah & Zeruiah ; Sisters Frances Bencomo (Rudy Bencomo), Elizabeth Morales(Joe Melendrez), Kathy Maldonado, special nieces & nephews Eileen Arias, Elias & Elianah Guadiana, Nathan & Jacob Trujillo, Zeke & Levi Sifuentes and Antonio Villalobos; several great nieces & nephews, 1 Goddaughter, Mariah Lucero & many other extended family members and friends who will deeply miss him.  He is preceded in death by his Parents Rosemary Maldonado Morales & Joe Morales, Sisters Ysela Rodriguez & Angie Allison
