Jose Rendon Jr., 84, of Victoria, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 3, 2025. He was born on March 14, 1941, in Beeville, Texas, to the late Jose Rendon Sr. and Petra Castillo. Jose proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, a chapter of his life he held with great pride. In retirement, he found joy and camaraderie as a beloved member of The Breakfast Club—a close-knit group of friends who met monthly to share good food, stories, and laughs. José is survived by his loving wife, Maria Rendon; daughter Rebecca Morris (Rick) of Katy, TX; sons Joseph Rendon III (Christy) of Victoria, TX, and Marco Rendon (Jessica) of Houston, TX. He also leaves behind his cherished siblings: sisters Ester Castillo of La Porte, TX, Dolores Cavazos and Rosie Ripple (Tim) of Victoria, TX, and Erminia Abowd of Deer Park, TX; and brothers Guadalupe Rendon of Alvin, TX, Pedro Rendon of Copperas Cove, TX, and Roger Rendon (Maryann) of Victoria, TX. José was a proud grandfather to Sueann Fulbright, Joe David Rendon, Sophia Simiskey, David Rendon, Jacob Morris, Nicholas Rendon, and Brandon Rendon. He was also blessed with 11 great-grandchildren, who brought him much joy. He is preceded in death by his parents, his first wife Normalee Rendon, his brother Israel Rendon, brothers-in-law Ted Castillo and Philip Abowd, and sister-in-law Hui Im Rendon.
