Hector O. Pina, Sr. went to be with our heavenly father on Tuesday, April 25, 2023 in Luling, Texas. He was 81.
Hector was born in Taft, Texas to Estanislao Pina and Catalena Ortega on November 22, 1941. He was a self contractor and operated a backhoe. He was a hard-working professional who excelled at his profession, but his passion for life extended far beyond his career. As a devoted follower of Christ, Hector spent many years involved in missions to teach the word of God and build churches. He loved to live life freely and spend each and every day unplanned and let the wind take him to new adventures. He opened his heart to many and was always selflessly giving and never expecting anything in return. Hector was respected by all and was a great teacher of life.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Estanislao Pina and Catalena Ortega; 2 sisters; and 8 brothers.
He is survived by brother, Mike Pina of Wharton, Texas; daughters: Janie Cervantes Pina of Luling, Texas, Elizabeth Pina of McKinney, Texas, and Alicia Galvan of The Colony, Texas; sons: Matthew Pina of Columbus, Ohio, Hector Pina, Jr. of Quinton, Texas and Bruno Galvan of The Colony, Texas; 11 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; 5 great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, in-laws and other loved ones.
Your presence will be deeply missed. May we continue to share your love, wisdom, stories and accomplishments to all and celebrate the life and legacy that has been laid. We will miss you brother, dad, grandpa, uncle, cousin, and friend.
