Roberto R. Perez, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, entered into eternal rest on July 22, 2026, at the age of 63. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Robert lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service. His heart was generous, his spirit adventurous, and his devotion to God and loved ones unwavering. Robert is survived by his loving wife, Rosalinda Perez, and his children: Melissa Prado (Larry), Maricela Leos (John), Marisol Perez, Leticia Solis (Ernest), Cindy Perez, Juan Santos, Joe Gabriel Santos (Brandy), and James Santos. He also cherished his bonus sons: Sufiyan Rahman (Ruqsar), Rizwan Rahman (Shelby), Affan Rahman (Saba), Irfan Rahman, and Mr. & Mrs. Khaleel. Robert leaves behind numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, each of whom brought him immense joy and pride. His surviving siblings include Margarita Garza, Guadalupe Castilleja, and Yolanda Garcia. He is preceded in death by his father Rafael Perez Sr., mother Margarita R.Perez, brother Rafael Perez Jr. sister Rosa P. Sanchez, and niece Rosita. From a young age, Robert worked alongside his father in the construction business, building not only homes but a life defined by dedication and humility. He worked faithfully until his final breath, always giving his best and trusting God to guide his steps. Robert’s passions reflected the joy God placed in his heart. He loved traveling, fishing with his bonus sons, and spending time with his family, who were his greatest blessings. He embraced the beauty of God’s world through skydiving, skiing, snow tubing, horseback riding, racing go-karts, and countless adventures that reminded him of the gift of life. Robert lived his faith through action. He helped anyone in need, no matter the time or circumstance. He offered wisdom, encouragement, and hope to those who felt lost. If you had a dream, he pushed you to chase it. If you loved him, he loved you back even more. His heart reflected Christ’s compassion, and he never gave up on anyone. He also carried a joyful spirit. Robert loved to joke, laugh, and tease those closest to him. His humor brought light into every room, and his smile lifted the hearts of those around him. We are deeply saddened by the loss of our father, husband, brother, and friend, but we find comfort knowing he is now at peace in God’s presence. His love, his lessons, and his laughter will continue to guide us. “Always keep smiling and succeeding in life; that’s what he would want for each one of you reading this.” Thank you to everyone who loved him and shared his journey. Visitation will be held on Monday, August 3, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a rosary to be recited at 6:30 p.m. at Palm Heights Mortuary. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Leonard Catholic Church with a funeral procession to depart the funeral home at 10:15 a.m. Interment to follow at San Fernando Cemetery III.
