Antonio Ontiveros, 92 years old, of Houston, Texas, passed away peacefully on September 8, 2026, surrounded by his family. He was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. Born in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, Antonio was one of seven siblings and was the last of his siblings to pass away. He was also preceded in death by his mother, Antonia Diaz. 

He and his wife, Maria Luisa, shared a remarkable 65-year marriage, beginning their life together traveling while he worked in the fields. Eventually, he retired from Universal Metal and Machinery. Antonio had a passion for baseball, crossword puzzles, dancing with his wife, and spending quality time outdoors with his family. He was also a devoted member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.

 Antonio is survived by his wife and their nine children: Maribel (Lupe) Ontiveros, Marco (Theresa) Ontiveros, Maria Isabel (Daniel) Danas, Patricia (Aaron) Green, Barbara (Alfredo Jr.) Rios, Christina (Jimmy) Martinez, Juan Antonio Ontiveros, Paul Antonio Ontiveros, and Christopher (Sonia) Ontiveros. He leaves behind 26 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren, along with an abundance of nieces and nephews who loved him deeply.

Rest peacefully, Antonio. Your legacy lives on in your family for generations and in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know and love you.
