CUERO — Joe Louis Reyes, 63, passed away on May 5, 2026. He was born on January 19, 1963, and lived most of his life in San Antonio, Texas, before recently moving to Cuero, his wife’s hometown.
A service in Joe’s honor was held in San Antonio at Sunset North Funeral Home, where family and friends gathered to remember his life and legacy.
Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Pablo Sr. and Louisa M. Reyes; his sisters, Carolina Ramos and Amalia Simonson; and his brother, Pablo Reyes Jr.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret “Margie” Reyes; his children, Nicholas Reyes and wife Rosalind, Jesse Reyes, Michael Reyes, and Victoria Brock; and 11 grandchildren who were the greatest joy of his life.
For 30 years, Joe worked as a truck driver, meeting the demands of the road with steady dedication and a work ethic that spoke for itself. He gave freely of his time and his heart—showing up, helping where he could, and placing the well‑being of those he loved at the center of his life.
Joe enjoyed photography, building and learning about computers, and visiting local buffets. He also loved trips to Las Vegas, where he enjoyed spending time in the casinos. A devoted movie buff, he appreciated a good film and the simple pleasure of sharing that time with others.
Joe will be remembered for his deep love for his family, his funny and sarcastic sense of humor, and the joy he found in—and the love he gave to—his grandchildren.
A memorial gathering in Joe’s honor will be held at Cuero Park at 2 p.m. on June 13. Family and friends are welcome to join.
The family extends heartfelt thanks for the kind messages, calls, and prayers during this difficult time. A special thank‑you is given to all who helped and contributed; your support means more than words can express.
With love, Margie Reyes and all his family
