Pedro “Pete” Alberto Vasquez, 84, of Houston, Texas, passed away on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at home surrounded by his loving family, after a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis.
He was born on April 8, 1942, the son of Julian and Amada (De Leon) Vasquez in Eagle Pass, Texas. In his youth, Pete was a migrant farmworker and traveled all over the Southwest U. S., following the seasonal crop harvests as far as California. As a young man, he chose carpentry as his trade and moved to Houston, Texas to set down roots, establish his carpentry business and start a family.
Pete built a life characterized by an industrious work ethic, a devotion to passing on his carpentry skills to others, a depth of generosity for his friends and family, and a joy for spending time with his loved ones – most often on the porch of his house on Majestic Street. He remodeled this home himself, and he offered it as a sanctuary for generations of his family when they found themselves in need.
He is preceded in death by his first wife, Maria Martha (Hernandez); his brothers Julian, Amador and Tony; and his sisters, Alejandra and Elvira. He is survived by his second wife, Maria Elena (Garcia); his children Martha, Debora, Cynthia, Michelle, Jennifer, Lizzette and Kelvin; his grandchildren Selena, Christi, Gabriella, Nikki, Oscar, Lexis, Aailyah, Sofie, Melvorne Jr., Garreth, Lord, Arthur, Jared, Matthew and Angelique; and great-grandchildren, Julian, Jazzlynn and Isla.

Pedro “Pete” Alberto Vásquez, de 84 años, de Houston, Texas, falleció el domingo 19 de abril de 2026 en su hogar, rodeado de su amorosa familia, después de una larga batalla contra la fibrosis pulmonar.
Nació el 8 de abril de 1942, hijo de Julián y Amada (De León) Vásquez en Eagle Pass, Texas. En su juventud, Pete fue un trabajador agrícola migrante y viajó por todo el suroeste de Estados Unidos, siguiendo las cosechas estacionales hasta California. Como joven, eligió la carpintería como su oficio y se trasladó a Houston, Texas, para establecerse, poner en marcha su negocio de carpintería y formar una familia.
Pete construyó una vida caracterizada por una ética de trabajo industriosa, una devoción por transmitir sus habilidades de carpintería a otros, una profunda generosidad hacia sus amigos y familiares, y un gozo por pasar tiempo con sus seres queridos, más a menudo en el porche de su casa en la calle Majestic. Remodeló esta casa él mismo y la ofreció como un santuario para generaciones de su familia cuando se encontraban en necesidad.
Le preceden en muerte de su primera esposa, Maria Martha (Hernandez); sus hermanos Julian, Amador y Tony; y sus hermanas, Alejandra y Elvira. Le sobreviven su segunda esposa, Maria Elena (Garcia); sus hijos Martha, Debora, Cynthia, Michelle, Jennifer, Lizzette y Kelvin; sus nietos Selena, Christi, Gabriella, Nikki, Oscar, Lexis, Aailyah, Sofie, Melvorne Jr., Garreth, Lord, Arthur, Jared, Matthew y Angelique; y bisnietos, Julian, Jazzlynn e Isla.
