Ricardo Arredondo Obituary
He was a man of the land with his cattle, and livestock, he was a farmer at heart, just like his father before him. He loved working the soil, growing watermelons, squash, cucumber, tomatoes and so many other things that connected him to the earth and to his roots.
Though he spent many years working as an insurance agent with American National he also worked in the oil field and later after retirement, his true joy and peace were always found at the ranch. That was his sanctuary, the place where his heart felt most alive.
It is a comfort to us all to know that he passed in peace surrounded by his family at home and that he will be laid to rest here, at the very ranch he loved so dearly. This land was part of him, and now he will forever be a part of it.
We will remember him for his hard work, his love for family, and the quiet pride he took in living close to the land. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the soil he worked, in the crops he grew, his cattle and in the love he passed down to us.
He is survived by his wife Rosa Elva Arredondo of La Copita, TX one daughter Yvonne Arredondo of La Copita, TX one son Ricardo Arredondo Jr. (Kasandra Villarreal) of Premont, TX seven brothers Hilario Arredondo (Clementina) of Benavides, TX, Luis Felipe Arredondo (Dahlia) of Bishop, TX, Juan Arredondo (Natalia) of Falfurrias, TX, Heriberto Arredondo (Belinda) of La Copita, TX, Daniel Arredondo (Mary) of Bishop, TX, Rafael Arredondo Jr. of Kingsville, TX and Elias Arredondo (Mary Ann) of Premont, TX, one sister Noemi Regalado (The Late Ramiro) of Falfurrias, TX, five grandchildren Gavin X Luera, Kaylynn Luera, Ricardo Dustin Arredondo, Ashtyn Faith Arredondo and Jayce Tyler Sanchez.

Richard was a true friend! I would call him once a month just to talk about his health, his ranch and other areas of interest to both of us. I always enjoyed talking to him.

My deepest condolences in the passing of el Primo Ricky! I will never forget the times Ricky would put my Dad, Ramon, on the bus and send him to San Antonio to visit me and my family. And how Ricky always notified me when Dad was ill or in the hospital! May his soul forever rest in Eternal Peace. I will always treasure his memory!!
