Valentin retired from Fordyce Co. where he worked alongside family and friends. His passion for music lead him to play for the church ministries, Rio De Agua Viva. With genuine grace and patience, he taught many how to play the bass and guitar. He may not have been able to read the music well, but he sure could lead the worship. Tall, slim, and handsome, his presence was always noticed. He was a devoted, patient, loving and God serving father and grandfather.
He will be greatly missed by all his family and many more. A special “Thank You” to Whispering Oaks Rehab & Nursing for all your hard work and dedication to care for him all the years of his stay. Another special “Thank You” to Harbor Hospice for your care and comfort. You are appreciated beyond measure. By the saving grace of Our Lord Jesus, may we have the strength and peace at this time.

It is always appropriate, and often times recommended, sending flowers or plants to the family after the funeral services are over. During this period, phone calls and words of comfort taper off. Then, the heartfelt pain of a death in the family is really experienced for the first time. The arrival of a beautiful bouquet or living plant can be so uplifting during this stage of grief and loneliness. Realizing that others still care and remember even weeks after the services can be great comfort to those in mourning. |
