Felix Gonzales

Felix Gonzales, born on September 27, 1967, in Victoria, Texas, passed away on July 3, 2026. His loss is deeply felt by all who knew and loved him.

Felix was a proud resident of Texas, whose early years in Victoria shaped his spirit and determination. Throughout his life, he was known as a devoted family man, cherishing his roles as a brother, father, and grandfather. Felix's career in landscaping was a testament to his appreciation for nature and hard work. His hands, guided by care and expertise, brought beauty to many homes and gardens, leaving a lasting mark on the community.

Felix is survived by his loving ex-wife, Angelica Fuentes, and his beloved children: daughters Angelina Gonzalez and Breanna Gonzalez, and son Pedro Raul Gonzalez. He was a doting grandfather to Mateo, Don Bryan, Josiah, and Zachariah, who will remember fondly the warmth and wisdom he shared.

Felix's extended family includes his aunt Rufina Garcia, and a host of nieces and cousins: Mary Ann Eustacio Cantu, Mauricio Martinerz, Alexis Rodriguez, Arturo Stephanie Gonzalez, Jody Gonzalez, Elijio Garcia, Celia Garcia, Elvira Eddie Franco, Steve Anna Garcia, and Mary Alice Cindy Vasquez. He is also remembered by other close family members and friends, including Jose Gonzalez, Isabel Martinez, Jose T. Reyna, and Steve Rodriguez. Each of them shared in Felix’s laughter, generosity, and steadfast presence.

Felix's life was marked by dedication, humility, and love for those around him. He will be remembered for his kind heart, wise counsel, and tireless work ethic. His legacy lives on in the gardens he tended, the lessons he imparted, and the family he leaves behind.

A visitation honoring Felix Gonzales will be held on Thursday, July 16, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Saxet Funeral Home, located at 4001 Leopard St, Corpus Christi, TX 78408. Friends and family are invited to gather, share memories, and celebrate Felix’s remarkable life.

Manolito Espino

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Manolito Espino, Jr., known to his family and friends by a few nicknames: Boyce, Mano or Manny. Born on January 14, 1958, in Corpus Christi, TX. Mano left us on January 3, 2026, leaving a void that can never be filled. With Mano's departure, we remember a life lived with immense love and a constant sense of caring.

He moved away from Corpus Christi during his early childhood as his family was relocated to various states within the U.S. and the South Pacific. He returned to Corpus Christi in 1972 when his father retired from the U.S. Navy. Mano attended Richard King High School from 1972-1973. He entered the U.S. Army in 1974. Returning to Corpus Christi again where he spent the duration of his life.

While overseas, Mano learned to play the guitar. He found his true calling in music; it was his God given talent. He found joy in the world through singing. There was not a family event that he was not asked, “please play for us.” He was often found sitting on the Corpus Christi bayfront seawall stumming his guitar and singing his tunes. His voice will be greatly missed.

Mano is preceded in death by his brother, Philip Anthony Espino, and his parents, Rafaela and Manolito Espino. He is survived by his sister, Nelia Lerma (Jose Luis), brother, John Espino (Mari), sister, Laura Chamber (Darrell), brother, Joseph Espino, brother, Ernest Espino.

Michelle Y. Anderson

Michelle Yvette Anderson, 53, went to be with our Lord and Savior on Friday, January 16, 2026. She was born on August 11, 1972, in Corpus Christi, Texas, to Fredrick M. Anderson and Eliza P. Anderson. Michelle received her education through the West Oso Independent Special Education Department, where she excelled in every area. She was a joyful, loving child whose bright spirit touched everyone around her. She loved dancing and often showed off her karate moves to her Coach and her Pawpaw, Manuel Anderson Jr. One of Michelle's proudest moments was being chosen as the West Oso Bears' Mascot. She suited up for every game, cheering her team on with excitement and heart. She embraced the role fully, dancing and entertaining the crowd with pure joy. A difficult moment at school dimmed that light for a time, but her family worked tirelessly to restore her happiness and remind her how deeply she was loved. Michelle remained a kid at heart throughout her life. She loved spending time with family and was always thrilled when visitors came by. She enjoyed watching the Disney Channel, playing with her cats and stuffed animals, and her favorite movie in recent years was Lilo & Stitch. She also loved reading, and whenever she came across a word she didn't know, she would spell it out and ask for the meaning, never forgetting it once she learned it. Michelle was sweet, polite, and appreciative of every kindness shown to her. She always said" please" and "thank you," and she cherished even the smallest gifts. She was deeply loved and will be missed by her family. In the week before her transition, Michelle said, "I really miss that old lady," speaking of her beloved Anderson. Her family gently reminded her that they, too, missed her. Now Michelle's spirit has reunited with her grandmother in heaven, along with God and the many loved ones who went before her. Michelle leaves behind a legacy of innocence, joy, and love that her family will carry forever.
