Jimmy Marquez

Jimmy Marquez ,62, was reunited with loved ones in Heaven on Tuesday, January 25th, 2022.

Jimmy Pequeño Marquez was born on November 13, 1959 to Cleto and Hilaria Marquez in Lubbock, Tx.  He was raised in Petersburg, Tx, where he met and shared his life with his wife of 43 years, Delma J. Marquez.

Jimmy’s friends, family, and loved ones fondly remember him as the life of the party, full of  jokes and smooth dance moves, the jack-of-all-trades who could fix and repair anything at anytime, and the master of giving nicknames, but he was  best known by all for his love of the Pittsburgh Steelers, wrestling, tejano music, and above all else his family.

Jimmy lived his life as a devoted husband, the best father to his four children, and the most loving Popo to his 11 grandchildren and great grandchildren.  He had an unwavering love that extended to his many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends.

To honor Jimmy, the family requests that his favorite team’s jersey or colors of black, gold and white be worn to his services.

A Rosary for Jimmy will be held on Sunday, January 30th at 7pm at Guajardo Funeral Chapels in Lubbock, Tx.  The Funeral Mass will be held at 2pm Monday, January 31st, at  Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Petersburg, Tx, immediately followed by interment at the Petersburg Cemetery.

He was preceded in death by his Parents, Cleto and Hilaria Marquez, his sister, Esmeralda Leija, and his brothers John Leija, Ruben Leija, Willie Marquez, and Benny Marquez.

Jimmy is survived by his wife, Delma J. Marquez of Petersburg; daughter, Christina Marquez of Lubbock; daughter, Nora Reyes and her husband Seamus Reyes of Idalou; son, Jimmy Marquez and his wife Kristen Marquez of Katy; daughter, Heather Marquez of Petersburg; grandchildren, Harley Johnson and her husband Matthew Johnson of Lubbock, Cheyenne Montez of Lubbock, Christopher Montez of Idalou, Jesse and Adrianna Mendoza and Azain Reyes of Idalou,  JayLeigh and Jayston Marquez of Katy, Dominic Guzman and Joseph Delgado of Petersburg; great grandson Tate Johnson of Lubbock and two precious great grandbabies on the way.
